The article describes the author's annual trips to the remote and tranquil Wallowas region for backcountry skiing, highlighting the joy of solitude amidst stunning landscapes. The author emphasizes the importance of versatile ski gear like the WNDR Alpine Intention 108 Skis, Ortovox Ravine Shell Jacket, and Mons Royale Yotei Powder Hood Long Sleeve, which enhance the skiing experience. Each mention of gear reflects their performance and utility in varying conditions, further underlining the adventure's enjoyable and self-sufficient nature without the disturbance of crowds.
I've made an annual pilgrimage to this region for a decade, staying in backcountry yurts and exploring nearby peaks. It's become a ritual not because of what the Wallowas have, but for what they don't - you rarely see another soul, even on multi-day trips.
The Intention has plenty of float for pow turns, while being damp enough to handle big lines at speed... it's also light enough to tour with all day.
