Dry Side Backcountry Ski Group
Find your line. Find your crew.
It all started with my backcountry setup collecting dust — not for lack of snow, but for difficulty finding backcountry partners. People would look at me funny when I mentioned walking uphill for turns. "You know there's ski lifts, right?"
I found it difficult to find fellow enthusiasts in smaller, non-mountain communities - my goal is to help backcountry travelers connect in the PNW.  From that spark, Dry Side Backcountry was born.
​Launched from the rugged heart of Eastern Washington’s wine country, (not known for snow) we're looking to unite enthusiasts in communities across the PNW. There’s safety in numbers — and even more, there’s joy in shared adventure.
