    Hi Lou- Just looking at the Aspen Times today and their front page article on Burning Mountain / Snowmass. Reading it made me think, what is backcountry? Can something like that really be considered backcountry? Admittingly, I’m not a big backcountry person simply because I really lack the safety experience and I don’t want to hurt myself nor others. But just curious as to how you would define “the backcountry?”

    Scott, yeah, the word is getting over used… see today’s blog.

Got something to say?
