\"Backcountry<\/a>
Skier under Banner and Ritter Peaks, Ansel Adams Wilderness, California<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Backcountry skiing in the Sierra Nevada is a perfect winter counterpart to the Desert Solitaire of Edward Abbey’s Utah. This popular and often crowded summer destination takes on another form\u00a0during the shortest days of the year where deep in the\u00a0wilderness that rare form of quiet is still plentiful.<\/p>\n

Whether you want to ski your own private bowls or just enjoy the tranquility and unique photographic opportunities, it’s all there for the taking. Proper equipment and skills\u00a0are\u00a0obvious\u00a0requirements and\u00a0outdoor retailers like REI<\/a> not only sell all the appropriate gear, but also offer classes in technique and safety. Enjoy the season!<\/p>\n
