Ski Touring in Haines, AK suggestions?

[hefeweizen]

It looks like I may be going to Haines/Skagway in mid-April. Any specific tours or locations I should look into? I will have a car but other than that I am human powered (ie no sno-mo or heli).

I have only driven the highway passes into both communities in the summer, and both look to feature easily accessible alpine terrain from anywhere you can find a pull out (of which there are many). I am sure there are specific spots that a local will be able to point you too, but failing that, get in a car, drive, pick a likely looking spot and start skinning. No bush, etc.

 

TTips.com has some AK locals on the board that could likely provide you with specific beta and maybe even local partners.
