Thank you so much for the details!! In all honesty I don't mind at all that hurricane ridge is on the small side, I'm not into the whole gigantic overpacked resort scene anyway. I was going to take up a couple private lessons while I'm there so I won't be navigating deep pow and backcountry on my own. My home mountain here in michigan (mt bohemia) partners with various resorts out West to give lift tickets to season pass holders, and hurricane ridge/mission ridge are among them which is why I'm hitting them up. Stevens gives me pause because Vail lmfao. But I'll keep it mind!

> hurricane ridge/mission ridge

How many days do you have? Have you looked to see just how far apart those two places are?

Yep, I got my itinerary all planned out. I'm breaking it up into chunks so I'll spend the week slowly trekking eastward, not doing a cannonball run in one day

That sounds good. People often underestimate how remote PA is.

Whistler is fucking wild man. You should just got to Whistler as a whole trip.

Hurricane ridge is closed m-th, and absolutely packed at times. Beware.

Also you should know the poma didn't open last year. Snowpack has been fickle lately
