Backcountry skiing in McCully Basin Eagle Cap Wilderness
Four mile approach gaining eighteen hundred feet elevation
Terrain includes gladed meadows and north-facing alpine bowls
Non-technical summits with occasional black-diamond chutes
McCully Basin Offers Secluded Backcountry Skiing in Eagle Cap Wilderness
McCully Basin, located within the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area, is offering skiers a remote and historically rich backcountry experience dating back to 1980. Known for its solitude and untouched alpine terrain, the area attracts visitors seeking fresh tracks and a true wilderness escape. The journey into the basin sets the tone for an immersive mountain adventure.
Access to the camp involves a gentle four-mile approach with an elevation gain of approximately 1,800 feet. The trail winds through dense forest with minimal switchbacks, gradually opening into expansive alpine scenery. This approach enhances the sense of remoteness and prepares skiers for the varied terrain ahead.
Once inside the basin, visitors encounter a diverse range of skiing conditions suitable for different skill levels. Terrain options include low-angled gladed meadows, moderate north-facing bowls, and non-technical summits, along with occasional black-diamond chutes. This variety allows both intermediate and advanced skiers to enjoy the area while experiencing the beauty of the surrounding wilderness.
Accommodations at McCully Basin include two sleeping yurts equipped with wood stoves, cots, and foam pads, each accommodating up to five guests. A separate kitchen yurt and access to a cold spring water source provide additional convenience for multi-day stays. This combination of rustic comfort and functional amenities makes the basin a well-equipped base for extended backcountry skiing adventures.
