Backcountry Resources

For those of you who browse the links to the right here on the home page, I've added a section called 'Backcountry Resources' where I'm listing some of the resources I use to plan trips. Generally these include forums, live web cams, weather reports, and such. If you've got a resource that you think ought to be on the list, post it here as a comment and I'll check it out. Thanks!
