Backcountry Skiing in the North Cascades


Yesterday I headed out with Craig & Woody from our US distributors to sample some of the backcountry skiing in the North Cascades.


We also met up with a couple of the local snow patrol guys from the nearby Stevens Pass resort plus local blogger Andy Dappen who looks after the Website Wenatchee Outdoors


Craig also took the opportunity to sample some of next winters ski specific salopettes, the new Kamchatka Saloepettes seen here in a rather dashing blue.


We left the relative hustle of Stevens Pass and headed up Skyline Peak before ascending to Tye Peak, with views South towards Mount Stewart. Absolutely stunning!
