Backcountry Access information
Skeetawk’s Backcountry Access remains OPEN to the public. The backcountry area is not patrolled and there is no avalanche mitigation being performed. Please respect the backcountry area and treat it as you would any other backcountry area. All terrain outside the designated lift zone is considered “backcountry”.


Uphill Travel Policy

This provides appropriate access to both Frostbite and 4068′. Downhill traffic remains available within the operational boundary. Skeetawk appreciates your cooperation by respecting the signs and lines.
