Cross-country AND down-hill skiing in the backcountry.
Unashamed to be a "cross-country type" and love skiing down-hill.

Spout Springs was the first time I didn't have to herringbone or other means to make it up the hills. We moved to Walla Walla in 1960. Spout Springs had one T-Bar and a killer tow rope. We also skied at Anthony Lakes where they had better snow. My brother broke his leg in his beartrap bindings. We left WW in '65 to the Idaho Panhandle.

Check it out. It is a good reminisce of ski areas back in the day.
