Hi All, I live in VA but have a buddy who lives in the Panhandle. Have a little backcountry ski experience including a trip up Scotchman’s Peak (YouTube comedy short available- have upgraded gear since then!) and Lunch Peak. Hoping to get back to ID this upcoming winter.

Hello everyone! My girlfriend and I are fairly new to the area and to backcountry skiing/boarding but trying to get into it and learn to grow our snowboarding/wilderness knowledge. We love several outdoor sports and activities for different seasons but snowboarding has been probably my favorite for years. I love the sense of accomplishment of doing something under your own power and a more raw experience you get in nature and the outdoors that comes with skipping the ski lifts and crowds and earning your turns. So I look forward to learning what I can from you guys on this page, thanks in adavnace.

Hello All!

What a great website and wealth of resources! Thanks to everyone who contributes. I recently retired and plan to ski for a lot of the winter. I used to telemark only and skied backcountry for 20+ years, mostly in the Cascades (I lived in the Seattle area). For this year, I bought new AT gear. Interested in finding ski partners for both backcountry and in area. I'm pretty much available to ski any day the snow is good.
