Bush-Whacking and Avalanches
JW and I went up to Pilot via Winter
Corner. Still a ton of brush below 7,000 feet and a breakable
crust. That could have changed considerably since the last storm.
They have received almost 20” of the fresh since my last trip.
Avy conditions are a little sketchy. I think regardless of where
you go right now in the backcountry, conservative routes, lines, and
a good partner are essential. We had a blast skiing some of the
East facing slopes going into the Lamar and Whoop ‘Em Area, but were
reminded about how quick you can get turned around in the mountains.
We were planning on taking the same route down along our skin track
back down. After our last run we found ourselves about a mile
from the skin track and had to traverse quite a bit. The breakable
crust down low was a little sketchy combined with all the brush made
the last ½ mile down to the car very difficult. You really have
to commit!! This was my first trip |

Winter is here and we are getting all fired up throughout North America for the day when we can pack up the car, grab a six pack of beer, and head to our favorite spots. We are so pumped up here at Ski the Backcountry Online. If this is your first visit to our sites, we appreciate it. The online pub covering Idaho, Colorado, Montana, and British Columbia, started this summer and we are now into our fourth issue. Things are looking good, but we could always use the help with the content. If you have an article, story, or adventure you would like to have published please let us know. You provide the content, we provide the platform. Visit our online store, visit the locals only section, visit the video section, and be interactive with the site. Become a member and upload your pics or videos!! Have a great month of November and see you in the mountains!

Sometime in November there
should be snow. It’s drawing to a close fast and there is not nearly
enough. Sure we’ve rolled a few k of Nordic trails for the spandex
burners out there. The extra motivated types are out fish-scaling logging
roads. I’ve been busy earning my paycheck this month, and hoping the
goodness falls soon. The winter before last was a late start wasn’t
it? I don’t remember—I was stuck in California until New Years.
We are all the same, somewhere
deep down we feel like winter is speaking to us directly. It’s only
noticeable when the snow sucks, and a guy can get to thinking about
karmic retribution. This year, just like two winters ago it’s telling
me “all in good time brother.” I believe it.

A Message From Winter Wildlands Alliance |
Subject: ACTION ALERT: Help Protect Quiet Winter Recreation on the Clearwater National Forest
It’s always a pleasure to support Forest Service officials who do the
right thing for the right reason. As you may know, national
regulations require each forest to plan for summer motorized travel but
leave the decision to manage winter motorized use up to each individual
forest (WWA is working to change this). Not surprisingly, faced with
budget shortfalls and limited staff, most forests put off winter
planning.
The Clearwater National Forest is an exception. Their Travel Plan
honestly evaluates the impacts of snowmobiles on wildlife and other
winter uses, and closes some motorized recreation areas in an effort to
address resource concerns. It’s a good plan, allowing for motorized
use where appropriate and protecting sensitive areas with the goal of
minimizing adverse effects.
The Forest’s preferred alternative, Alternative C, is an acceptable
compromise between non-motorized and motorized winter uses. It does
the following:
• Recommends that areas currently designated Recommended
Wilderness (where some motorized use is allowed) be managed to maintain
wilderness characteristics (with no motors allowed)
• Protects 503,057 acres from over-snow vehicle use (as compared to 302,856 acres now).
• Prohibits over-snow vehicle travel from October 1 to November 15.
