    Extractions: Winter transforms New England into an arctic wonderland. Even though we are located in the most populous region of the United States, winter-time snows cover-up all signs of man. It is only in the winter months that one can really experience the true essence of the mountains; for the snow has returned the wilderness to us. Storms in New England can come from any direction, but the most common ones come in from the west or northeast. Western storms can blanket most of Vermont, but still manage to miss New Hampshire. Coastal storms can immobilize southern and central New Hampshire and barely cause a wispy cloud to pass through Vermont or the northern Whites. Again the prepared skier needs to investigate carefully and not make assumptions that it is snowing equally everywhere. Low pressure centers that travel up the St. Lawrence Valley usually bring rain to New England and snow to Canada. The most powerful storms involve secondary lows on the coast that can intensify the primary low pressure system moving in from the west. These combine, by bringing down cold air from Canada and moisture up from the sea, to produce the classic New England snow storm. You need to be an investigative reporter; call your friends or ski areas in various parts of the Twin States, find out how much new snow has fallen, temperature, and a twenty-four hour forecast. Add up the inches of snow and below freezing temperature and choose the area that has the most and the coldest snow. Remember that New England weather can change dramatically. It can go from minus thirty degrees Fahrenheit to plus forty degrees in only a few hours. Rain can change to snow and back to rain again. Rain can form frozen armor over powder snow, or percolate through it and, after cold air and wind return, the snow can dry out, becoming loose and powdery.

    Extractions: New Mexico Rock Climbing Guided Backcountry Skiing This aspect of mountaineering allows the mountain lover to use their skill to not only climb to the top of a mountain but to safely and expertly descend. The deep snow pack of the winter and spring keep many visitors away from the mountains. For the educated snow rider, winter opens a new door to the mountains where the thrill and satisfaction of getting to the top of the peaks is only equaled by the exhilaration of making turns back down. The winter environment brings its own set of hazards. A primary concern for the backcountry skier is avalanche hazard. Learning the how, where, and when hazard develops as well as avalanche rescue, are key skills that must be developed by all backcountry travelers. Also important is choosing the right equipment, orienteering, and all the intricacies of both uphill and downhill travel that allow for full enjoyment of skiing off-piste.

Backcountry Skiing in Killington, Vermont Backcountry skiing, sometimes called "off-piste skiing," is skiing in areas off and away from the groomed runs of ski resorts. Backcountry terrain isn't marked, mapped, or groomed, and it is free from the chair lifts of ski resorts. Basically, backcountry skiing offers skiers a chance to brave more challenging terrain in a more natural setting, and sometimes even make the first tracks in fresh powder.

Avalanche Safety Gear Sunrise on the prime ski terrain of Mt Baker's east side Backcountry Ski Gear Primer Introduction Backcountry skiing is a broad sport. Even seasoned veterans obsess over what might be the best gear for a particular endeavor. When selecting equipment, it's important to ask: Where and when will I be using this? The answer could be: mostly at the resort with a little sidecountry; riding lifts through the winter, then big spring volcano-corn; skiing powder yoyo style through the winter, then spring corn; long, rolling scenic tours; steep ski mountaineering whenever possible; just instead of snowshoes on the approach to a climb. The possibilities are endless. It's nice to have the right gear for the job. With the selection of ski gear available today, there are several good tools for any type of skiing. No licensed carpenter would use a sledgehammer to finish fine cherry cabinets; climbers don't lead routes at Index on nothing but chocks and hexes like they did way back when; don't spend your days lapping backcountry powder with Trekkers on toothpicks! I will enumerate the virtues and vices of a large cross-section of the ski gear available to the backcountry enthusiast. My natural bias is toward big descents that involve mountaineering techniques and wilderness travel, but I will attempt to give equal consideration to other piste paradigms. Take all advice with a grain of salt, proceed with caution, and consult a professional guide/avalanche expert before you put yourself in harm's way.
