Ski the Isolation Traverse

With the best fall line skiing of any of the “big” North Cascades traverses the Isolation travels through incredible and remote terrain deep in the heart of North Cascades National Park. While hardly a good “first-multi-day tour” for more experienced backcountry skiers the Isolation Traverse serves up some of the most amazing ski mountaineering terrain the US has to offer crossing more than a dozen glaciers on a tour that lives up to its name (You likely wont even see a hint of previous human travel).
