Back Country Skiing?

Here in the Midwest (Minnesota) "backcountry" skiing is anywhere away
from support. It may be groomed (like the Banadad Trail in the BWCA
Wilderness Area) or not. (like the rest of the BWCA) Being a whole lot
more horizontal here than the Northeast or the West, you have to ski or
snowshoe in to where you are going and do the same coming back out.
Heli-skiing??? I suppose our equivalent would be dog sledding, because
motorized equipment is not allowed.

In the Twin Cities our snow his winter has been pretty iffy, but up
north, from Fargo to Grand Rapida to Ely and Duluth, and then over to
Ashland, WI and the U.P of Michigan, which is where our backcountry
really is...the string of state and national forests around Lake
Superior they are having a great year. It snowed a foot in Duluth
yesterday.

Ski safe,
