Maine-iac Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Hey everyone, I am looking to do an epic backcountry ski trip this winter, and i am wondering where the BEST snow in the US will be. I will be heading out the 2nd and 3rd week in december. I had heard some things about the Lost River Range, Sawtooths, and possibly some stuff up near Nelson BC. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweatinoutliquor Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I've heard that the nelson stuff is smoke. I'd suspect that the backcountry around the Wasatch is pretty decent, but maybe not as remote as you are looking for?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineK Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Nelson is good. I've also had some good trips to Rogers Pass; there are some great trips off the highway there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bug Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 The crest of the Bitterroot was fun a couple decades ago. We took 12 days. Had a couple free ski days (no pack). Go in Como lakes. Come out over Lolo Pk and down the Mormon ridge road. There may be some thin parts but the north exposures almost always have powder. And you WILL be alone.

hefeweizen Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 duh  Maybe, when I was there it sucked.  The best snow is the snow having the most fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
