Schweitzer Backcountry
So I've searched TGR, google, hell even the library and i've only seen a few forums and looked at a few topo maps regarding the schweitzer backcountry. I don't want to uncover the locals favorite secret stashes, but how is the schweitzer backcountry? I'm planning to ski with some locals this year and hopefully find some new areas, does anyone have any personal favorites?

Plenty of places until the day after the storm. Yes I do have favorites, too.

Hey Board, what are you doing posting a pic of the Wasatch in a Schweitzer thread?
Everybody knows Schweitzer is flat, has no real sidecountry, and what little snow they get is wet and heavy just like Seattle. Also, all the locals are skinhead fascists, the restaurants serve roadkill, and all the nearby towns are shitholes. Shame on you for steering our new friend dmski wrong like that.
I just heard Vail is putting in a new gondola."We need sometimes to escape into open solitudes, into aimlessness, into the moral holiday of running some pure hazard, in order to sharpen the edge of life, to taste hardship, and to be compelled to work desperately for a moment at no matter what. -George Santayana, The Philosophy of Travel

Schweitzer has put in a new policy this year, and all backcountry in north ID is closed.
I hear Big Sky is good.
