Those zones sure look nice El Hefe, might not be able to stop myself from poking around there atleast once next season. Only seven more months of work

I bet there is some other stuff around that is cooler to ski, so if you know something special you can show us.

Me and my buddy from revy are wwoofing in the Slocan at the moment. Moving closer to Nelson in a few days. Next window for touring will probably be this weekend. Let me know when you want to go..

Cheers

The weekend is good. I'm open to wherever, if you haven't been up to Kootenay Pass yet, that'd be a good spot to hit. A lot of terrain to pick & choose from, quick approaches. Can do WH2O as well.

Hit me up next season, pretty easy to get to but you need to know where you are going for sure. Took us a couple of years to figure it out and we just scratching the surface.

One of those vids was sled laps in this zone. Just got to watch out for choppers......

Speaking of which, snow up in Kootenay Pass this morning!

That was pontus,

Looks sweet man.

Would be great to ski the koot pass. Do you know the area well?
Would love to try a new area!

I'll PM you my number. I don't have any reception were I am at now, but that should change soon.

After some searching I found out that the chute we want to ski at WH20 is called Hummer shaft, more precise the one lookers right. Something you would be interested in doing?

Sounds good, your videos have always got some wicked terrain

Just make sure to ski your lines before they arrive.

It's still winter out there. 10-15cm up in Kootenay Pass yesterday. Definitely some windslabs forming on the more west aspect of Baldy, Lunch Box was stupid amounts of fun however.

Spent some time training for Alaska today.

We came...



We gaped...



We slayed...



Good times, nice line choice Teo.

Nice photos. That brings back some fond memories of skiing at Wh2o in may a few seasons ago. Always some great late season turns to be had around there.

Damn rights, love the terrain they have up there inbounds. Other than the backside before the Glory chair, that was my first exposure to some of the incredible riding beyond the ropes.

Also, need to get up there tomorrow & possibly next weekend to do a bit of work for a friend. Need a partner or two, Teo, anyone else local? Ride some badass lines & beers on me...

Yo! I have a hard time seeing us getting a window during the week. But next weekend if things still look good we are ready for round two!

well thanks for the quick tour, pontus. had a blast!



i won't post the pic of my 4" heel blister...that would be anti-stoke.

For sure, this morning was fun! I totally spaced though and forgot to pole whack the cornice before dropping in...

Jeffro sending it!



Got to bomb down the clear cut of Prospector while some Inter Mtn employees looked on with sadness & jealousy.



And hate to post this Teo, but the sun from the last few days has ravaged 1st choice & Dogs Leg. The weekend may be the time to go while we let the sun beat on things for the next few days.

Spent Sat night and sunday up at monashee pow. The plan was to get up super early to get some skiing in then eat breakfast. We got way to hammered sledding under the full moon so it was pretty much sled only. Got a couple of runs in, the snow was still pretty good, heavy cream but fun.

Mega Moon rise




Some sled fun.

Looks like a ski cut in while turning. The viz was kinda blind/flat on the fan there

It was absolutely spectacular. Didn't realize you were shooting video Teo, otherwise I totally would've ridden out my sluff. Nice edit.

Edit: And thanks for the new Facebook photo!

some sweet May stoke going on. I started putting those damn trees in the ground three weeks ago so I couldn't get myself to get up last weekend for turns, but all my friends who went up had a great time. pretty jealous!

Not sure if you guys are following the POV contest going down, but I thought I'd post the edit I made for it in this thread. Call it a "season edit" if you will.

there were some sick airs in that edit. solid! also...i apparently made a cameo appearance in the beginning of it, at the top of red. hah.

Anyone have some recent Wh20 beta?
Esp. on "bamboo stick"? I have only seen pics from far. How is the entrance and exit?

Heading up tomorrow. Would like to ski something of Ymir.

Was up at Rogers Pass on Saturday, skied south off Eagle peak. Great little corn cycle and still great travel right from the Illecillewaet parking.

Touring partners needed, not everyone has put their boards away right?

46cm's (@ -2.5) and counting at 1900m in the monashees. looks like 20+ at silver stars village at 1600m.

El Hefe, where do you find weather station data for the Monashees?
