Someone recommended skin up the snowcat track to Patsey Marley . . . I’m not great at pow, and need to learn better chops — what do you guys think of that route, and/or what would you recommend for pow newbies that dont’ mind hiking?

the north slopes of Patsey are great for learning to ride pow and dipping the toes in bc waters. I don’t recommend going up the Patsey ridge to the peak as it’s steep and has some cliffs. Stay at or below the cat track until you’re confident in your riding and have a partner.

also, you could check out Mill D north trees, beartrap fork or some of the trees in the lower part of White Pine in LCC.

If you’re wondering about area names and really want to get into it look into the Wasatch BC skiing map @ BD or REI.
