I also find it interesting that the definition makes little sense
to Europeans where even the lift served skiing is generally more
"backcountry" than in the USA.

Hah!

If there's a lift, it ain't backcountry.

It isn't?

So, if I get a lift to the top of a ski area, and then hike for
another 4 hours to cross a ridge and ride down the other side into a
valley which has no other access, then that's not backcountry?

What is it then?
