That's always been interesting to me (grin). In my experience, most backcountry skiers will follow a snowmobile track rather than making their own trail. That’s always been interesting to me (grin).

I don't think I've ever seen anyone over there. Tracks for sure, but not people. (caveat: I go in the early A.M.) Great spot to link up as long or as short of a tour as you could want. But the rest of you should really stay on the South side ....... :-) The “North” side is one of my favorites. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone over there. Tracks for sure, but not people.

I'm not certain I would characterize the Uneva Peak area as underutized. I have been touring the area for 15 plus years and appreciate the amount of use it receives. Great access for shorter tours with moderate vertical. I would, however, strongly encourage as much usage as possible on the "south" side, where snowmobiles and skiers alike are welcome to roam:) Lou,
