Looking for recommended BC ski access

Guerilla backcountry skier looking for some good backcountry access and skiing. Priest lake, out of Libby, mt.? Any suggestions. Fairly recent from the cascades where it's easy to get on the volcanoes and climb to the top. Peaks are a little harder to figure out here. Any good recommendations would be very welcomed.
 
Scotchman Peak.
Up Smith Creek out of Bonners Ferry, there is a nice avy shoot below Smith Pk, haven't done it myself but always wanted to do a spring assault, as for Priest area Mollies and Phoebe's are good spring options and there is a TR on them.

Yup, What Schenk said.
I recently wrote a story about that fact, we are much different than the West side. Here, you kinda have 2 choices: 1. Get used to the long in-tours, 2. Get a sled to reduce the in-tour or 3. Have a sled and still get used to the long in-tours! LoL
The cascades have great access to touring indeed.. but we have some of the raddest terrain hidden deep for those willing to put in the work to get them
Libby has a lot of sick terrain around it and there are members hitting tours out there often.

Cheers and welcome to the site, be sure to write a tour report when you go out to let us know how it went. Doesn't have to be super descriptive, just a quick blurb, avy hazards and hopefully some pix to make the rest of us who couldn't go out, drool!

Cheers,
PP
