Description

This Steven's Pass tour is a easy way to ski those big dumps, untracked. It gives access to great tree skiing of almost every skill level.

The tour starts at the Steven's pass/skyline lake trail parking lot, on the northside of the Hwy. The road, like the summer trail continues up to Skyline Lake, and it's easily followed to the lake. From there you can continue to the summit or col, to access the northside skiing, or you can ski down the Southeast Glades.
