My husband and I took the kids to Granite Mountain Sunday for a day of backcountry snowboarding, skiing and good family fun! The kids had an absolute blast - our 11 year old got her first real backcountry snowboarding experience and our 4 year old just enjoyed running around out there. We made a nice fire at the base of the mountain to enjoy between runs. We were able to easily access this area b/c of the groomed runs that went most of the way up the mountain that are used by the backcountry skier groomer to drop off the skiers and snowboarders and then the snow wasnt too deep so we could access the very top of the bowl with the snowmobiles.
It's very easy for us snowmobilers to share such wonderful backcountry adventures like this with our families around McCall! The groomers where out dropping off skiers and boards while we were out there but it would just be too expensive for us to do this with the whole family via the guieded groomer trips - besides, there is no way I could take my 4 year old in that scenario and I want her to experience this too! Experiences like this are what shape our kids into the outgoing individuals that so many of us adults are! Start'em young! My 11 year has new great aspirations after this adventure!
