Good News - Bad News
Bad News First - I'm turning 77 next week so
no more (well may be a few more) AT 14er ski adventures
(wife unit says that she will dis-own me if I keep ABUSING myself)
Good news - I STILL LOVE back country cross country skiing - so two questions:
1) Bill, how about a forum for avalanche safe back country skiing
2) If not 14ers.com - which URL's are a good (aka as good as Bills's) resource for back country skiing
in Colorado.

Re: Back Country Skiing
Not a free resource, but depending on where you live this little guidebook may be useful: https://beaconguidebooks.com/product/li ... ado-atlas/Monte Meals wrote: ↑Mon Oct 14, 2024 3:59 pm 2) If not 14ers.com - which URL's are a good (aka as good as Bills's) resource for back country skiing

Re: Back Country Skiing
The Colorado backcountry ski and snowboard group on FB had 19k members and is very active and annoying.
