avypoodle Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Check out Sauk Mtn. Its above Concrete in the Skagit Valley, not too close but very nice lines on the backside. You'll have to wait till the slopes on the front consolidate fpor the approach to be safe. Check the red Beckey Guide.

specialed Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Best spot for dog friendly bc in the area is skyline ridge and vicinity on Steven's pass. Check out the obvious ridge across from the ski area. Park in area parking lot on the north side of road and find obvious trail / skin track heading north past employee housing area. Follow up onto the ridge and ski off south side back to the road. Scope out the myriad of other touring opportunities in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikwilker Posted March 21, 2002 Author Share Posted March 21, 2002 I'm relatively new to this area. I used to be able to get out and ski with just my dogs in the southern Rockies. Any recommendations on places near to Seattle that are dog friendly (ie no state or national parks) and that are not traditional avy death traps?

ScottP Posted March 21, 2002 Share Posted March 21, 2002 Commonwealth Basin up at Snoqualmie Pass is where I used to ski with my dog. Close to the road, no access problems to speak of and the avalanche danger is nil (if you stay to the flats).
