I'm thinking of heading back to the Stevens Pass area to ski backcountry - Yodelin summit - about 2,000 feet of downhill that's more or less blue-ish (about 18% which is a pretty easy blue run). I expect avalanche danger to be very low, but I'll have my avy stuff with me anyways. So if you want the peace of mind bring yours.
Yodelin summit is the hill behind the old Yodelin ski resort buildings in the lot where we parked on the Stevens trip. The ski-down will cover some of the terrain of the now defunct ski area.
This would also work for those who wanted to snow-shoe up and either ski down or walk back. (I wish I had done this on on the Stevens trip. - Next year.)
Oh, and I'm thiking of doing this Saturday.
