An easy backcountry option in Squamish is Red Heather. It is a famous spot for backcountry touring, so I see many people go there on weekends.
We went to Round mountain today. We saw only 5 cars parked in the morning, which is low numbers for a sunny day. We had a snowfall 2 days ago, and I was wishing for a good snow condition.
Most of north face slopes were tracked out, but snow was still in prime condition. We really enjoyed cold and fast snow.
If you want to have a quick pow lap in the morning or the evening, this is the place!
