I'm getting interested in Alpine Touring Skiing (skiing/hiking up hill and then skiing down with locked bindings) and am researching starter equipment. Was wondering what suggestions people have with regards to where to do this. Many ski areas allow this "uphill skiing" but am more interested in the smaller hills in the Lakes Region, maybe something you hike 30-60 minutes, ski down, and repeat a couple of times. Some of the trail sections on the back of Mt Major may be good candidates.

Anybody doing this in the Lakes Region area .vs. heading to the Whites? Any spots you are willing to share?
