Three Sisters Backcountry Skiing

This is a short video of a three-day backcountry ski trip I did with some friends in the Three Sisters area of the Oregon Cascade Range. The dates of the trip were February 5-7, 2023. Gavin and Terrance have been doing this trip to the Tam Rim Alpine Yurts with Three Sisters Backcountry (www.threesistersbackcountry.c...) for years, and this is the second year I have joined them. On the east side of the Three Sisters Wilderness, Tam McArthur Rim rises 1,500 feet above the yurts and stretches for two miles, providing an incredible variety of terrain including open bowls, treed glades, couloirs, gentle meadows, and steep chutes. Beyond Tam McArthur Rim, the wilderness stretches over spectacular ridges, glades, lakes, and buttes leading up to Broken Top Mountain.

We snowshoe into the Green Lake area, I'm sure you know where it is. Great imagery after fresh powder. We had snow just west of Eugene this W/E. Thanks for posting your trip, looked like a fun time.

Amazing trip and you truly captured the beauty of being in the backcountry. Great skiing too by all!

I really enjoyed this video. Well done. Before my retirement, my career was with the US Forest Service as a firefighter. I spent some time in this area fighting fires and always wanted to return on my own time with my cameras but never have done so. Now with the skiing, I, even more, would like to return but with budget issues, it will never happen.
