Hey bioman I don't know your background but I would recommend an avalance safety course and using the buddy system. If you go alone, stay on slopes 30 degrees or less. If you go with a buddy, wear beacons and know how to use them and check the avalanche reports. The aspen grove/ timpanogos wilderness area claimed another victim yesterday (he was snowshoeing and caused a slide). Not trying to discourage you in any way-- I used to snowboard in the backcountry quite a bit-- but just be safe.[cool]
