its not that steep....... and im going there this winter for a week!! im gonna stay at one of the cabins... now just cause i say that, doesnt mean you can stalk me when im there

[TreeJamProductions]

How far do u hike up the steep trail to get there? and from there how do u get back to the main part of the backside? can u just follow the power lines?

[ShaneMSnyder]

@TreeJamProductions You can hike for quite awhile actually but it's really fun. Theres a couple points where it's obvious other people strap in and start riding. You can go to the right and stay up top of Tye or go left where these guys went. And yes, just follow the powerlines if you go left it just takes you back to groomed stuff on the backside. Try it, it's really fun to hike up that ridge. My buddies and I have done it a lot, even at night when the snow on the runs sucks.

[JaglaJ]

[dontBhatinItsPayton]

@JaglaJ Backside is exacrtly the same as the front side or whatever. maybe a little bit more moguly or however you spell it. it only gets scary if you wanna hike up the ridges and stuff and hit the deep powder in the back:)

but yeah same thing as the front.

[JaglaJ]

@dontBhatinItsPayton Thank you :D

[dontBhatinItsPayton]

@JaglaJ yeah they hiked, the powder in this video is NOTHING to last weekends. untouched. so when you fell you were screeewweedd haha

@dontBhatinItsPayton Very true. Sounds like Stevens has been getting hammered. Just had some epic days in Jackson Hole though.  Super excited to get back to the pacific northwest though.

[dontBhatinItsPayton]

@brianbehrens yeah it has just got 16 inches last night. heading up there tomorrow!

I want to go there! is it really nice?

[brianbehrens]

@dontBhatinItsPayton I also forgot my cam the week after this when stevens got 22 + inches. sucks big time if you fall. ha.
