Check in the next few days on the Powdermag.com site. I just put together a whole bunch of info. You can also just check The Eastern Sierra Avalanche Center (http://www.esavalanche.org/Frame_Header.htm)

Oh Alpine has them from the ski patrol. I did it twice cuz I jumped under that closed sign to hit up that ill ass powder. So moral of the story, try to get caught going into a closed area ona powder day, now dont actaully ski it ull fuck us all over, just get caught. Oh and they take you pass for a week, but if you cant get on the lift without a ticket, then you aint newschool.

Wow, it's finally up. I'll be keeping this updated regularly, but I think it's pretty legit as is. http://powdermag.com/backcountry/intro/
