>>2345170What did it for me and my friends was buying a guide book of backcountry routes in your area. My friends and I would drive to resorts drooling over lines we could see from the road. Made us super hyped and we fully committed to the gear/class. If that’s not your style and you just want to dip your toes in rent gear and a guide. Honestly no matter what it’s going to be expensive which is a huge barrier.
The bullet points for starting:
>Learn about avalanche safety>get gear>get a partner and get after it
