Considering Thompson peak as well for backcountry but I haven’t seen any trip reports on panhandle backcountry which makes me hesitant

That doesn’t sound bad, sounds much better than what I’ve heard about Schweitzer.

My choices are new dw 104s or beat up reckoner 112s. Would definitely prefer the DWs but not sure if I want to...

Yeah, that’s the backup plan. Mount skis and ride beacon, but my mind is thinking skiing

Heading back home to Spokane for 2 weeks. How’re the snow conditions? Still too soon to bring out new skis? I heard Schweitzer only has 1 lift open. Jackass or 49 better?

Have done a little touring in the area but not a ton. Stevens peak is great, which you know. I did a spring tour up near beehive (n Idaho) which was eh, looked like there was some cool terrain if our...

Late to the party. Wasn’t bad Saturday! 🤿

Oofta, that's a good one

Been out of town the last couple weekends but stoked to get out there. Looks like a few of you have been to a number of the local resorts. How's coverage? Mainly looking at silver, 49, and Schwitz

I went and found some turns north of sandpoint this weekend. There's snow but way less than normal. There was significantly more snow in June last year than there was this weekend. Melting crazy...

Looks kinda like the new Seattle Kraken S

What's the best place for a beginner mountain in the spokane area? Looking for lots of green runs. I ski at Schweitzer and they have a good bunny hill but zero greens hah, kind of hard to progress...

Thanks for the info!



I'll go check it out. Too bad there's not an Idaho/Eastern WA book like Martin Volken wrote for Western WA. I toured solely by that book when I lived in Seattle.

Any recommendations on before/after work touring spots near Spokane? I'm thinking Mt Spokane is probably the best area but I've been having trouble finding areas that aren't super dense with trees....

Killer weekend as everyone has mentioned. Storm skiing all day Saturday, followed by a bluebird (windblown) pow day on Sunday. I think I saw the supergoat guy on Saturday....

Looks like 6 and under are free. Not sure if you still need to reserve though, I doubt ithttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210203/25e25751f31ef18be634d2556da39bd6.jpg

Interesting. We did this twice last month. Once buying a ticket, once not buying a ticket and were never checked. Must be a new thing. Yeah, they do have a bunny hill ticket but it sells out along...

Yep. They don't check which is nice. Tough part learning at Schweitzer is you have to make the jump from bunny hill to blues. No greens on the mountain.

Black jacket, green pants. Usually on 2019 kartel108s, deeper days on protests with rocker graphic. You? On schweitzer?

Was at schweitz today. Much better than expected. Saw billy goats about 6 times today, must be sign. There was a squad of Enforcer frees, Mfrees, Jeffery's. I assume mags? Would love to meet up one...

Done. Forwarded to other Spokanistaniz/northern Idahoean bikers

Thanks. Should have thought to scroll up a little

What ski shops do you guys recommend for boots? Looking at Lupo/Cochise 130/Roxa R3/Hawx Ultra XTD 130/Nodica Strider/other boots along this line. I've had a friend recommend Sports Creel. Ideally in...

Chop was soft and the sun was shining. No complaints at Schweitzer...

Was up at Schweitzer yesterday. Was super windy towards the end of the day up top. Went in to piss at the sky house, came back out and my brothers snowboard had blow away. Wind was blowing off the...
