Idaho’s Selkirk Mountains

Welcome to Atlasta–Casey! After 21 seasons, we needed to seek out a new backcountry touring operating-base, so, along with the Idaho Department of Lands, we created a new 6,250 acre commercial recreation permit just to the north of Schweitzer. It’s much bigger, more open, and steeper: we call it Atlasta–Casey. Please join us to kick off the 25-26 season on Saturday, December 20, 2025 with Avalanche Rescue
