Best Sidecountry?

In CB they'll through you in jail for ducking the ropes to ski side-country. They actually booked and charged someone for ducking a rope to enter the middle of a terrain park. ??? very into enforcement of property rights there. So no sidecountry without court fees, but the backcountry was sick.

If you like trees....The sidecountry at Willamette Pass here in Oregon has the best tree skiing in the Universe!

I have seen sidecountry photos from mt Cain out on Vancouver Island and OMG...It looks like Alaska! The spring touring must be out of this/off the Continent!

Silverton.

Does there have to be frontcountry for there to be sidecountry? And just how big IS the PNW, anyway?
