I'm in search for the best snowmobile/road access skiing in Alaska right now, I'm planning on taking a trip within the next month. I skied Thompson Pass last weekend which was rad and full of pillows, but i'm looking for somewhere with some longer runs.

Ideally, you should know how to spell "Backcountry" before skiing it. Just sayin'.

I hear Mnt mickinley has some sweet lines right now. The whole altitude acclimatization and crevasse crossing is a bitch I hear. But you get 15,000 ft of vert so I'd say its worth it.

You're in high school and your going backcountry skiing in Alaska?? Gee I really wish I could've learned 20 years worth of ski mountaineering technique and safety during my high school years. Have fun dieing in an avalanche idiot
