Hey,
Relatively new the inland northwest. Moved to Spokane about a year ago and I'm getting stoked for the season. I grew up skiing on the ice coast and have migrated west since. I've skied all over the country (Colorado, California, New Mexico, Washington, Utah, Vermont, New Hampshire) and some time in BC. I've been heli skiing and cat skiing but my pockets can't support that habit so I'm looking to get more active in the ski touring world.
I look forward to seeing everyone out there!

Sam, Great to have you on the site!
For all the new members, we like to hear if you have any suggestions!
Hi all. Excited about "la nina" this year!
cool site!
Hey, just got interested in backcountry because I'm sick of resorts. I'm extra fresh to this so I'll be learning a lot I hope. Here's to the coming season!
Jon, do you have an Instagram account?
Yeah, I do. It's @jampbellkid and it's public so it should be a quick find.
Awsome site! My home mountain is Schweitzer and I am always looking for great opportunities to venture out in the backcountry.
Pray for snow!!

This looks like a great site. Want to explore Priest Lake Selkirks some more.
Good morning,
With reports of snow falling it encouraged me to reach out a bit to y'all.
Mostly tour the St Regis basin and exploratory tours (bushwacking ,lots of bushwacking
) in MTthroughout the winter. St regis is just great due to its close striking distance from the 'kane. Will be making some time for a level one course this year. I have been skiing for awhile and always wishing to do more. I have every Fri off and usually hit up 49, although it is always a balance with the kids!!
Incredible site!!
Cheers!
