I'm hoping to find some mellow backcountry skiing that I can take my family into. I was planning on an outing to Bow Summit or something similar, but then I figured we could save some time/effort if we used a lift to get us high to start.

Any recommendations?

Bow Summit is a shit show. The skin in is very close though, but the mellower lines are not very long at all. The SSV slack country is very quiet once you do a bit of skinning. Pm me and I can give you some ideas...or I'm also up there very often skinning around after the runs track and don't mind showing you guys a few spots either as long as you keep it on the down low.
