Backcountry skiing is basically the same sport as trail-riding, just more sensitive to conditions. Way cheaper, honestly, as you go through a lot less consumables. Less laps than a lift, but so much more mellow.
It's kinda crazy how large a percentage of the folks at Mt Baker are from Vancouver, due to the Whistler circus entry fees.
