Does anyone know any good spots to build a backcountry kicker. I get my license this year and I really want to find a place to build a big one probably like a 40ft. gap or something. If anyone knows of anything near the mt. washington valley or around there that'd be great

theres an old ski place right before you pass Hogback Mtn on the left...i say grab a snowmobile, ride up and build one...you may have to do some bushwhacking but i've always wanted to try that place out.

that would kill you i'm sure. the hike up is crazy hard and then to build a kicker?? i dont know man. plus the angle that the blow is at is already about 40 degrees. give it a go and post some pics when you do it!!

yeah i wouldnt go in the middle of the season, even if there are no avalanches you would have to hike in full jacket and pants. and that would be a major bummer. it wuold be mad cold.
