Ski Touring: Good Until It Isn't | Stevens Pass Lift Assist Tour

happy birthday!!!

[@travisweil]

Thank you. It was a pretty good day.

I started skiing that out of bounds area on the first day the cross over chair was opened years ago. For me and my buddies it was our own private ski area for the next 10 years. We would get all virgin runs for several days after a dump. Then Powder magazine wrote it up and it was discovered. After that it became very competitive to get the virgin snow. These days you will be lucky to get 3 or 4 trackless runs before it is skied out after a dump.

It has gotten busy out there. I bet it was nice having that area to yourself for so long.

on the insta you can just click and drag with the mouse and change the angle. the zoom out feature is great also to get a wider perspective!

[@travisweil]

Thanks. Unfortunately, on the section where the camera tips down, I was recording in a single lens mode since it was on a chest mount.

super :') looks a lot of fun

[@travisweil]

It was good until we hit some refrozen melt in the woods. Can't complain with some beautiful views and sunshine.

Thank you.

Did you have to check in with patrol before heading up in the resort?

[@travisweil]

They did have a patroller at the gate who was asking some basic questions to people heading out.

[@brendansailer6413]

@@travisweil Oh nice - I wasn't sure how to get permission for that other than just stopping by the patrol office

[@vovasliva]

good freeride/ how to join your team?

[@travisweil]

I don't have a team but I do offer guides backcountry days and ski instruction.

[@vovasliva]

@ How much does a guide's services cost?

[@travisweil]

Around $500 a day for ski guiding around Washington.

[@vovasliva]

@ is this for a group or a person?

[@travisweil]

That is the cost for 1 person and it does go down per person with more people.
