Super-long shot. New to the backcountry, looking for good role models

yeah, I think I'll keep this thread going through the winter to try wrangle some senior Tayers to help the new guys (self included). I'm probably gonna check out how much snow they get at the summit this weekend if you want to join

I might as well throw my hat in the ring also. I'm a decent skier. I've been skiing in the backcountry for a few years. I've taken AIARE-1. It would be fun to tour with some cool people. I'm in the Seattle area so I usually tour somewhere between Baker and Rainier. I like exploring new places.

Well this post certainly resonated with me - enough that I finally created an account to add my name to the list.

I've done my AIRE 1, overnight trips with WAC , Rainier, and a day trips with friends over the years but I've never spent enough time in the backcountry to really have a good group to go with.

I'm an advanced/expert inbounds skier and much more tentative out in the wild with a large pack on. I've got two little ones at home, so looking for a solid group that can show me the ropes but get me home at the end of the day. Will to do my part. Half days or shorter tours are awesome as well, as scheduling can be a bit hit or miss for me depending on wife/kids/life.

I'm based in Seattle but spend a lot of weekends in the Leavenworth/Plain area. 34 M, keep in decent shape biking around and chasing kids but certainly not setting a record pace these days.

If theres anyone planning an outing and looking for a buddy, let me know.

I posted this as a separate topic , but I'm thinking about a few casual laps at Snoqualmie Pass (maybe Hyak?) on Friday afternoon, if anyone is interested.

Been out for TG. Catching up this week. have some time to run to Snboqualmie for a morning of skinning next week

Hi everyone,

I'm a 29-year-old male currently living in Plain WA, skied my whole life in the area, got into backcountry 5 yrs ago. Have all the gear, AIARE level 1, etc. Looking for friends to go on backcountry adventures with. I've done a lot of solo objectives around Stevens Pass/Highway 2 this season, but am getting lonely and generally feel safer in the backcountry when with others.

I'm currently planning backcountry days this Wednesday (2/3) as well as this Saturday (2/6) in the Stevens pass vicinity. Requirements would be avy gear (beacon, probe, shovel), experience on how to use it (ideally AIARE level 1), AT or splitboard setup, strong skier or boarder, and pretty good fitness level overall. Message me or reply if you're interested in linking up!
