Which mountain has the best backcountry setup?

[bigwhite.steeze]

if you havent been there check out kicking horse in Golden B.C the best cliffs,drops,pow pow, and natural features. and they got some sweet out of bounds lines if youre willing to hike

 

[skates_mcfarlin]

In the interior its hard to beat whitewater and red, access and just variety of such sick shit is almost unbeatable. Plus the snow is so much more reliable. Kicking Horse is sick but the snow is so unreliable

 

[hollygrove]

Exactly, the snow isn't always there at Kicking Horse. I prefer Whitewater.

 

[coordy12]

its tought to beat vail- fairly consistent snow quality through the season and its all lift accessible, with some hiking for some other stuff

 

[bobs]

alta, grizzly gulch... I dont think anything else matches it in terms of jump potential

 

[Elijah.]

Mt. Baker has backcountry lines you won't see anywhere else except for Alaska. If you know the terrain, Baker has some sick sick sick sick shit.

 

[tahoearmada20]

I'm going to pretend I didnt read Vail...

I'm gonna have to go with Jackson Hole and Grand Targhee for the rockies and Kirkwood or Alpine Meadowsfor Tahoe

[Dan-Man]

silverton

 

[LJF]

yes he knows where its at. Theres also tons of sick skiing not just jump building po.tential. and of course you get to ski utah pow

 

[navigator]

the horse is sick. the only problem is the bottom(way to much vert), they should put in a gondola station mid way up.

 

[slice_of_mustard]

silverton for sure, crested butte and steamboat are also really really good

 

[masbeth64]

I'm gonna pretend your not being so arogant...

Vail does have great bowl skiing, and is easily accesible. Witha little hiking you can get great backcountry stuff...

 

[hoodratz47]

for what it is.. all say it... and im not saying back country.. good in bound terran... copper back bowls.. and the free cat... fuck you its fun.. im not saying its the best. shredmicnar

[Bumbleton]

mt. washington or Jay peak on the east coast

 

[johanblaze]

[abek]

[TheQuailman]

[Matty_C]

errr, europe? there are mountains outside of north america people!

France:

Val d'Isere/Tignes

La Grave

Switzerland:

Engelberg

Verbier

Zermatt

Austria:

Arlberg Region

These are all sick as fuck for BIG mountain ripping, natural hits and bc kicker shit.

 

[Holte]

Jackson or Targhee hands down. Although there are some west coast mountains with huge incredible terrain.

 

[SensayMaster]

this should be your answer right here....

 

[SensayMaster]

wtf? how do you post f-in picuters...

[scientist]

from what Ive skiied, fernie has alot of decent inbounds, and easy hikes to any of the bowls above the mountain

 

[SensayMaster]

maybe that will work?

 

[SensayMaster]

 

[SensayMaster]

ya im doin all the tag shit and putting the url between the tags but i just does the blank box with the x, wtf? and i've posted pics before just like that

 

[michael_bc]

yeah mountains are so ill in Zermatt, Chamonix and Alagna that it's pretty easy to die up there.

I really liked Remarkables and Treble Cone for huckin (NZ). No one in Europe seems to huck anything (except at Verbier Ride).

if u want sick BC setups in Europe basically u gotta look for the unknows spot like Absinthe were shooting in Silvretta-Nova past season u just gotta go out there and look. Mountains are mountains they are all over the place.

 

[cofreeskier]

Aspen Highlands has some sick bc

 

[mkotten]

hell ya, i haven't been there but that place looks like the shit

 

[grams.]

whistler blackcomb, haha you don't even have to go out of bounds

 

[Stan_Darsh]

yeah some dont work even if you do it right

 

[sowstochd]

everest

vail

 

[funkendrenchman]

Best resort accessed BC in North America? Jackson Hole or Whistler/Blackcomb.
