How do you get to it.  Can you hike from the top of the lift and return to the base of a lift, or is it all true backcountry skiing?

well IMO its true BC skiing because its not with in any resort boundaries. Its uncontrolled, and un marked and your paying for a rescue should that happen.

In this case its about a 5 minute hike from the top of Sensation and about a 20 minute skin/traverse back to Stowe. Or from smuggs its about a 15 minute hike, and you ski back down the road.

Like I said though anything outside of a resort is true BC skiing. Does not matter whether its self gained or used by lift.

not my friends I only know Greg Petrics, whos shot in the this video was in alot sketchy terrain than most can imagine hence the wimpy hop turns by him.

Make no mistake Greg is the biggest badass in this part of the world.
