Togwotee Pass: Two Ocean Mountain

Togwotee Pass, to me, is one of those places that inspires me to go ski every time I read or hear about friends talking about it. As soon as I hear you are heading to Togwotee, I am going to find a way to weasel my way into that trip. With it being about an hour away though, it does not happen often.

Destination: Two Ocean Mountain

Togwotee is notorious for long approaches and a constant barrage of snowmobilers brapping around you like a hive of bees. I know that annoys some, and it is understandable, but it is what it is.

Two Ocean Mountain has only one of those, the snowmobilers. After driving about an hour, the ridge line can be seen from the road as it sits only about 3/4 of a mile away. To say the skin to the base is easy would be hugely understated. Once reaching the base, you have about another 700 feet of vertical to get to the top of the ridge by either skinning it or boot packing up.

What I love about this place is the opportunity to lap the hell out of it while getting a really good variation of tough, quick lines to open pow fields.
