So I walked in about 3 miles or so
on this snowmobile trail and snowboarded all the way out. The trail
was about 12 feet wide and I didn't wear a helmet so I could hear
approaching snowmobiles more easily. It was rather fun. I just
happened to find this trail, it's not mentioned in the book. I liked
the quiet and solitude (except for a few snowmobiles) compared to ski
areas.

I don't have any advice on trails for you, but if you don't have any
training in back country travel or avalanche awareness, then could I
suggest that you get some.

Riding and hiking in the back country takes on a whole new set of risks
that just don't factor in when your riding the local ski hill.

Sounds like you had a great time. With the right training and some like
minded friends, you should have many more.


I should add - Check out hiking/climbing organizations. They may have both
classes as mentioned above, and trips you can go on to learn the ropes and meet
likminded friends.
