Revelstoke, BC, Report: Skiing The 5,630-Vertical-Foot “Snow Rodeo” Directly into the “Selkirk Sea”

Report from January 28, 2025 Yesterday was another stunner at Revelstoke, BC. I stuck to the groomers and had my mind blown again by just how long they are. When you drop in from the top of the Stoke Chair, the fog (the Selkirk Sea) looks impossibly far below you. You end up skiing all the way to the river […]

British Columbia Backcountry Report: “Eagle Chute” on 9,337′ Eagle Peak

Report from January 25, 2025 We finally gathered the courage to go deep into the alpine in British Columbia yesterday.

Pillows and steeps and logs and trees. It was rough going. 4 hours later, we poked out into […]
