Reddit's OG off-piste sub for all things backcountry skiing/splitboarding. 
Those two, non-detachable low speed quads are the best season pass you'll ever own. 
We encourage posts re: human powered uphill/downhill shralping, TR's, pics, bc gear, avalanche tools/techniques/training/technology 

Mech. assisted tours into the bc, 
(Sidecountry, snomo, cat & heli bumps) sometimes accepted.  
Slowshoeing, lift access, your recent park footy, mountaineering & non-snow wilderness adventures, not here.

I live in Italy where until last weekend the only legal reason you could leave your municipality was for health or work. On Sunday the law changed to include exercise. So I went to the mountains.
