Shane submited some great photos of his trip last week up to St. Regis Basin. Ben Clark, another local skier headed up as well to get in on the action. Looks like he had great conditions and he reported that the avalanche conditions were fairly stable. They also submited a great video!

Here is some pics from last weekends adventure in St Regis Basin. Base camp is around 2-21/2 miles from the pass, or a little over a mile from the trailhead near the bottom of the backside lift @ Lookout. I concentrated my skiing on the north side ridge (6400+). Excellent conditions and 2000' vertical runs of creamy powder! Awesome trip!! Had a buddy come up for two nights, so only solo for one night. This place is one of the best BC areas in the Inland Northwest; with easy access, bountiful snow pack, and user-friendly options for routes and runs....

It sounds like they will be up there this week as well so if your in the neighborhood be sure to stop by and say hello.
If you get out in the backcountry and observe any avalanche, weather, access, or snow conditions you think may be helpful to the public please send them in. Also, if you have a trip report you would like to submit please send them in. If you can it seems like the 1600x 1200 digital photo size works the best. Mosct digital cameras have an easy adjust setting. You can email palousebackcounrty@gmail.com. Thanks for visiting! Have fun and be safe.
