Revelstoke Mountain Resort, BC, Report: Impressive Lines and Superb Views

Report from week of January 24th, 2022 It’s been some time since we’ve visited Revelstoke. It’s our interior BC home-away-from-home and a place to escape from Whistler when inevitable snow dry spells hit. With COVID, then highway failures, it’s been over two years since we’ve visited for winter. Floods washed away The Coquihalla in the fall of 2021 and (amazingly quickly) […]

Kootenay, BC, Powder Roadtrip Report – 3 Powder Filled Days With Big Red Cats

Continuing with the Powder Highway theme we wanted to experience mechanized skiing Rossland-style. Sometime over the summer, I had talked to Big Red Cats about getting a group together.

Any ski trip is always […]

Kootenay, BC, Powder Roadtrip Report; Deep Snow at RED Resort and Whitewater

British Columbia has started strong this winter, and our home base of Whistler was no exception. Even Vancouver had a pile of snow, including the first dump of snow in the city for over a decade! But there’s always time for road trips. Flooding in BC had cleaned out a lot of highway infrastructure so it was with some sense […]

Kicking Horse, BC Lift-Served Backcountry | A Golden Road Trip, Part 2

Brought to you by Kicking Horse Mountain Resort Kicking Horse Mountain Resort’s inbounds terrain is the tip of the iceberg. Generally speaking, this is trite of any ski hill; quite obviously what can be accessed from lifts will almost always be a bigger area than what is lift-serviced but the contrast for KHMR is stark.

Golden and Kicking Horse, BC – A Golden Road Trip Part 1

Brought to you by Kicking Horse Mountain Resort – Report from week of 10th February 2020 Golden! It’s been overlooked by some as just another truck stop on the Trans Canada Highway, as a placename in the made-up Kootenay Rockies Powder Highway, and derisively as East Revelstoke. However, good things can’t be kept hidden forever. Stunning scenery and mountains are part […]

Gear Review: Fritschi Xenic Alpine Touring Binding

Introduction New for the 2019-20 ski season is the Fritschi Xenic. The Xenic builds on Fritschi’s pre-existing Vipec EVO and Tecton binding using many of the same concepts and materials. This means that the Xenic can be truly thought of not as a scary-new product but one which has evolved by building on Fritschi’s past success and experience. Xenic is an alpine touring […]
