2 Hours there's not a ton of choices, there are few more places 2-4 hours away near Bend, but still most of it will have longer approaches, until April-may, that's when those volcanoes become accessible. In Washington 3-4 hours away there's tons Touring at Snoqualmie pass Area, Stevens pass, and some stuff in the Olympics. Here's a book for Oregon and southern Washington:, has most of the Hood routes. This one is forWashington There more Washington books to choice from.

For backcountry:

Take AIARE level 1. AAI, as well as a bunch of other outfits, offer this class.

resources for backcountry travel:

  • WTA is good for understanding permits, directions to trailhead, etc. Will sometimes have trip reports that are useful for bc skiing as well, but not the sites focus.
  • TAY is one of the main areas to watch for trip reports, bc skiing news in WA, and a good place to potentially find partners
  • NWAC, avalanche forecast center.
  • FB Groups can be a good place to find partners
  • Guide books - Martin Volken's book (best overall), his older one specific to snoqualmie pass, and a new snoqualmie pass one from Matt Schonwald.

A good guidebook is super helpful as well. Washington finally got a good one this year: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1594856567

I've also started a little website to compile backcountry tours in Washington: http://powderlin.es/. It only has 3 tours right now but if anyone is interested in adding more let me know! The source is on Github: https://github.com/bobbymarko/powderlines
