Backcountry ski tour around Cody, WY on Presidents' Day

[birdman83]

I am a grad student collecting data in the Wind/Bighorn Basin. I am wondering if anybody knows of any relatively close ski tours, and if they would want to go out on Presidents Day (Monday Feb. 20th). I am a competent backcountry skier with all of the gear. Really I am more interested in the exercise and would be down for a mellow tour with minimal danger. I could drive, and if you participate in my study (30 minute survey) after, then I will buy you a burger and a beer. Thanks.

Dunno if it will work but the cody message board might be able to get you hooked up with somebody... It's a kayak board but they may know somebody.

thanks for the tip. I just posted there.

I've always wanted to head up the North Fork of the Shoshone, upstream from Pahaska Teepee.

Paddle Iraq,
If you have a chance, you should get up above Pahaska someday, lots of good terrain, is a great backcountry tour as well. Ski into Sam Berry meadows and base your climbs/ descents out of there. Another great tour/ ski is West fork of Grinnell creek, the next drainage downriver on the North. Leave from Shoshone Lodge- great stuff!
