Complete solitude is a little harder to find in the Lower 48, but it's there, at least in the West. If you are willing to carry your house on your back, turtle-fashion, the entire Western high country is yours for ski mountaineering. Perhaps because tent, stove, food, fuel and avalanche beeper weigh 65 to 70 lbs., you and your partner are likely to have the horizon to yourself, with (the thought occurs spontaneously after...
