Me and a few friends are wanting a spot to build a pretty good sized kicker, big enough to really air out flat 7's. If anyone could tell me how to get to some easy access spots, that'd be siick. Normally I have snowmobiles to get out, but I can't get any right now, so if anyone could let me in on a few spots please do. PLZ NO H8.

Just roll up Grizzly. When I was up there last week I saw no less than probably 10 already built.

Little Cottonwood and Grizzly are very accessible locations with a lot of jump spots but do keep in mind that it is still the back country and can be incredibly dangerous despite having the appearance of being so close and easy to get in to. There have been deaths from avalanches within spitting distance of the parking lot. Do your research, have the right equipment and be safe.

Next time you are boot packing in a sweatshirt up the gulch, look to your right about 10 minutes into your hike. Yes, right there, on that innocent looking slope. You are in a crazy terrain trap, standing, right where someone has died. And almost had another there this year. So at this point, kindly turn around, and go back to jibbing boxes.

Or, go get educated, and come back, try again.

Being out in the elements/field work is a pretty important part of getting educated IMO.  No need to judge because they aren't wearing Patagonia.

I have proper avy gear, along with all my friends. I'm gonna just head up probably towards grizzly, or big cottonwood. It'd be me, and my 3 friends who used to ride back country in Oregon all the time.

Might have to do some searching and be a little creative. A lot of the easily accessible standard spots are already built and hit. But its a pretty big area so as long as you've got the motivation I'm sure you'll find something.

Good luck!
