BCA Monarch CAT

Great snow but not great conditions for photography on Sunday for BCA’s Monarch CAT skiing day. Thanx to all BCA staff for including me and to Gail and Chad; our guides at the Monarch Cat Tours, for showing us all the sweet spots. Ready to go back to Monarch Pass and explore some more.

Coastal BC

This gallery has some skiing pics from British Columbia’s Coastal mountains taken during the last week of January 2010. Vancouver and Squamish locals guided me to some of their awesome backcountry terrain. Pics include the Garibaldi-Diamond Head area, and the Whistler and Blackcomb backcountry areas. These areas are accessed from the top of the in-bound chairlifts. Thanx to BC skiers for their hospitality and awesome turns.

Wanted: British Columbia Powder Whore

Does this work for you?

I have the week of Jan 31-Feb 6, 2010 at a small hut in British Columbia. It is accessed via snowmobiles. The week price is $USD 850 (plus, you have to get yourself up there). You must reach Revelstoke, BC by Saturday night, Jan 30th. You must be a strong backcountry skier (Tele or AT). The week includes one guide/cook. You might be asked to drive a snowmobile occasionally. It is a very different and unique Canadian hut experience, and in my mind, the best powder to cash hut value in the Canadian Selkirks.
January 9th update: Rod reports 18″ this week. Two blue-bird powder days. High avalanche danger on the north sides, so they skied mostly south faces. No rain problems like Montana.
Pics from first week of January 2010. More snow coming next week.
Update January 29th: Two slots open as of today. Lisa broke her leg two days ago. She is really hoping you will take her slot, so her hut deposit can go towards her hospital bills.
