Magic Mountain: Deadline Ridge Part Deux

Day four of the Ski Idaho Introduction to Backcountry Skiing press tour (Jan. 11) found us at Magic Mountain exploring the backcountry off Deadline Ridge immediately south of the resort. After dropping down the east side of Deadline Ridge, we skinned up a small ridge to the south and took a couple of laps down into the bowl we found on the other side. Many thanks to Magic Mountain for the lift bump. Many thanks to Weston Backcountry Skis for the demo Summits with the Dynafit rotation bindings - I absolutely loved them. And many, many thanks to the U.S. Forest Service, Sawtooth National Forest, and Minidoka Ranger District for allowing us to explore the backcountry adjacent to Magic Mountain and document our experience.
