Hi Rhonda – No I would not recommend doing any backcountry skiing here without beacon, shovel, probe, and partners with the same.

These are some great photos and is sounds like it was a wonderful trip! I was wondering if, in your opinion, it would be safe enough to go here and do some backcountry if I don’t have a probe or beacon? I would be going with 2 others.
Thanks,
Rhonda

I’ve heard there is some killer backcountry skiing in the La Sals and this proves the point. Sounds like a great time, Jack! Thanks for sharing the photos and trip report.

Amazing Trip Jack! Next time let’s consider the whole range in a day or with a light camp. The North Peaks were disney like though. They seemed big but they are managably close together. What a magical place… I almost want to keep it secret…

Wow, what an awesome adventure and I love your pics (as usual). Have always wanted to ski those peaks after looking at them so many times. Sounds like you saw no one as well!
