There is nothing like exploring seemingly endless terrain filled with untracked powder, no lift lines, no crowds, peace and quiet, adventure and challenge, and did I mention the abundance of untracked powder. Venturing into the backcountry can be a transformational experience and thousands of people are figuring that out. Backcountry snow travel has become exponentially popular over the last few years especially as more ski areas open their boundaries to allow access to terrain that goes on as far as the skier is willing to travel.

Heel Free or Die - Backcountry Skiing in the Whites This page is for telemark, cross-country and backcountry skiing in the Whites and the rest of New England. It also has links to telemark and backcountry sites around the world. Places to ski in the Whites Backcountry in the Whites is limited by a lack of open slopes and snow conditions that aren't always friendly. There isn't that much steep or extreme terrain available, but there are many places to go that are great fun. My personal favorite are the trails on Moosilauke . Since 1990, the Dartmouth Outing Club has rebuilt most of the trails on the mountain with skiing in mind. The Gorge Brook trail was the first, and it offers the most challanging route. The descent is tight and steep in places, and requires a good snow base. The Carraige Road is much wider and more mellow, especially after it was rebuilt in 1995. Because of the extensive erosion, an excavator and bulldozer were brought up to reclaim the trail. As a result, some sections are wide, allowing for linked turns . You can ski up the Carraige Road all the way from the base or link into it from the new Snapper trail, rebuilt in 1995 as well. The last major ski trail on the mountain is the Al Merrill Ski Loop, which runs up the Blue Ridge to the south and east of the main peak. The 5 mile loop starts at the Ravine Lodge, and offers the easiest backcountry skiing on the mountain. In the winter, the Ravine Lodge Road is gated so there is an additional 1.5 mile ski each way.

40. Backcountry Skiing: General Info And Disclaimer backcountry skiing General Info and Disclaimer. Yvon Canard friend at home intheir MiniMid. Preparing for backcountry skiing takes years of commitment. http://www.bobskiing.com/skiinfo.htm

Most of the tours listed at this site are best classified as "ski mountaineering", and require a high degree of ski experience as well as general backcountry experience. A few of the trips require advanced mountaineering experience. Most of these tours also include some degree of avalanche hazard. Backcountry ski mountaineering is physically demanding, requires specialized skills, and it's pretty gear-intensive too. Preparing you for backcountry ski trips is far beyond the scope of this web site. However, the following list is a good start. This may seem like a lot of tough prerequesites. Preparing for backcountry skiing takes years of commitment. But it's worth it. To me, there is no richer experience than to be on skis in the High Sierra backcountry. Watch for Snow Slippers! Develop very strong backcountry skills . Do plenty of summer backpacking, perhaps including some travel far away from trails. Master topo map reading and compass skills, and never venture into the backcountry without topo map(s) and a compass. You should have very solid ski technique . You should have an efficient diagonal stride. Be able to make strong telemark and parallel turns. Practice at downhill resorts, and practice in difficult snow conditions. A steep remote slope (with a 40-pound pack) isn't the best place to learn ski technique.
