Roadside Attractions is a series dedicated to discovering hidden mountain ranges that few, if any, have skied. Each episode takes you to remote locations where we camp at the base of these untouched ranges and spend weeks exploring their potential. In Episode 2, we take on the Beartooth Mountains, Montana’s tallest and most rugged range, on a 7-day winter traverse. Inspired by a popular summer hiking trail, The Beaten Path, we set out to ski 46 miles of untouched terrain. Fully human-powered and self-supported, carrying everything we needed on our backs, this was an adventure into the unknown to discover big lines and incredible peaks

In Episode 1, we dive headfirst into the Big Snowy Mountains, just south of Lewistown, MT. Known neither for heavy snowfalls nor skiing, we set out ...

      FatMap was one of the best mapping services out there and I was stoked to be able to support them how I could. The strava merge was undeniably handled very poorly. I have personally moved on to onX Bacountry, but to each their own 🤷‍♂️

    One of the most memorable experiences of my life has been a work trip into the big snowies. I was a stream/vegetation technician measuring habitat, and one of our sites was on the northeast end of the big snowies. Because of private property issues, we had to access from the east and hike cross country to our site. This was mid August, so hot and dry. We were told it was easy. Meanwhile in reality it was thousands of feet of vert up and down up and down, avoiding random hidden cliffs, only to end up at our canyon, which had a solid 50 foot cliff at the bottom of the slope. So we did all of these miles, all of this vert, just to not even be able to do the site. It was truly a ridiculous day.

It's an awesome feeling when you get to actually explore the places you've looked at for a long time, places few people go. The Absorkee Beartooth range is an amazing place

      @meaningfullylost 26 днів тому

      There is so much more that goes into our avalanche risk assessment than I can fit into a comment, I would mostly recommend taking a AIARE course. And the next big thing is just easing yourself into the backcountry, learn how the mountain shapes things and where the high risk areas are. The mountains aren't going anywhere! So never be afraid to back down from an objective, the goal is always to make it home safe and be able to ski another day.
