Not asking for the best, just good options to get out and have some fun this season. Why do people feel like letting others have fun is going to take away from their experience? It’s back country, it’s not like every person who skis has the desire to climb up hill.

Because the stuff that is skiable has been worked on by people during the summer. I spent an entire 10 hour day this summer with another dude to make probably 1000’ of vertical skiable. It is brutal back breaking work and after a good snow it will only have room for a few untracked lines.
