Before you hike be sure to read the Patrol’s avalanche report. They are posted at the top of the Bear and White Pass chairs. Given the risk is low to moderate you are relatively safe to travel in the backcountry. You have two options, Fish Bowl or Siberia/ Mongolia. Both of these bowls are acessable by boot hiking and if you need to go further touring gear is recommended. One last thing – never travel alone in the backcountry.
The challenge might be the pool time however other pools are available. Roxanne Labele is the best instructor in town. She is reachable via Island Lake Lodge 423-3700
