Surface Backcountry Noise:

To us the term “newschooler” doesn’t only apply to park rats. There’s a whole new generation of skiers getting after it in the backcountry. The age of skier climbing and skiing off peaks is descending rapidly and we are well aware of it. Here in the Wasatch we have kids hammering out a dawn patrol ski tour before heading into their high school class. Its so badass and inspiring!

We wanted to dedicate this entire thread to backcountry travel, ski mountaineering, backcountry gear, inspiring photography, travel tips, safety and avalanche advice and more. Anything backcountry related drop it in here and we will do our best to give you answers and information to everything we can.

Cheers!

The Crested Butte backcountry has been going off after two consecutive 18 inch storms. Yesterday was rad, so I thought I'd share some stoke.

Working really hard at setting up a network of bike to skin to ski options in the canyon above my house. The possibilities are there if you are willing to pedal a bit... OK... pedal a lot, but still, they are there. Today we found a little nugget of sheltered Northeast facing pow that required 2.7 miles of difficult pedaling and about an hour of skinning. Possibly disclose its wherabouts in a future post.

Hopefully everyone was safe and sound traveling the backcountry today. There were some impressive avalanches here in the Wasatch. - Schneider

BD does make a great skin.. however, we have had the most success with the New Life modes using the G3 skins because of their tip clip system. It works super well on really wide / blunted out ski tips.

Check out G3 or also known as Genuine Guide Gear.

i made a new tip loop on my BD skins for my new lifes by cutting and bending a wire hanger into a loop and fitting it into the plastic piece that the stock tip loop goes into. not the prettiest and not a perfect but it lets me share skins between my less obese tipped sticks.
