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. I don’t generally dare to fly there in January because there are usually persistent weak layer issues this time of year. Right now, the snowpack is pretty locked up. Eagle Chute on 9,337′ Eagle Peak called to us. So we […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | January 28, 2025 0 Comments
British Columbia Backcountry Report: Skiing The Frozen Waterfall Chute, a Steep Wall, & a Pillow Spine Report from January 24, 2025 On Friday, we got out into the BC backcountry just to look around. And find sunshine. We needed sunshine. So we started walking in the shade and 7ºF temps. And we kept walking in the shade and cold temps for hours… After 3 and a half hours photons from our nearest start finally tickled our […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | January 26, 2025 1 Comment
British Columbia Backcountry Report: Eating Sh$% Trying To Ski Invisible Pillows in Canada Report from January 20, 2025 On Monday we couldn’t decide what to do. I’d gone backcountry skiing 15 of the past 19 days and was simply exhausted. We decided to go for the same pillows I’d skied on January 12. It took 4 hours to get to them and we had a few options and none of them looked right. […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | January 23, 2025 0 Comments
British Columbia Backcountry Report: Skiing Powder On A Gorgeous BC Nose, Triggering a Micro-Avalanche, Surfing A Wind-Lip , & Jumping in Donger-Land Report from January 22, 2025 Yesterday we needed to ski in the sun. 7ºF as we left the car (for the 5th backcountry day in a row). Even though it’s been uniquely sunny this month in BC, it’s still tough to actually ski in the sun due to the low snow angle and small amount of skiable terrain that actually […] Backcountry Miles Clark | January 23, 2025 0 Comments
Revelstoke, BC, Report: One 5,620-Vertical-Foot Fun-as-Hell Groomer Ski Run Report from January 21, 2025 I was beckoned by the ridiculously long runs of Revelstoke, BC, Yesterday. It was snowing lightly and coldly when I arrived. Not much in this world beats a 5,620-vertical-foot crisp-as-hell groomer. I rode the 2 gondolas to the upper mountain and slid down to the Stoke chair. I exited the top of the chair with […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | January 22, 2025 1 Comment
British Columbia Backcountry Report: 3,600-Vertical-Foot Powder Run = Our Longest Run of the Year Report From January 19, 2025 We talked Axel, the hut keeper from our BC hut trip in early January, into showing us around the BC backcountry on Sunday. We chose an obscure zone that doesn’t see many tracks. We jogged along in the sun and couldn’t resist doing a mini-lap on the spiney-thinger zone on the way up. The snow […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | January 21, 2025 0 Comments
British Columbia Backcountry Report: Skiing A Classic Zone In Powder & Filtered Sunshine Report from January 18, 2025 On Saturday we decided we needed to ski in the sun. 7ºF at the car. To be clear, it’s kinda once in a lifetime here right now with clear skis and low avalanche danger in January. This is a rare combination here. We ran into an old friend in the parking lot and changed our […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | January 21, 2025 0 Comments
BC Backcountry Hut Trip Report Day #3: “The Bubbles” & “The Dark Side” Report from January 5, 2025 On day #3 of our BC hut trip we had a plan. Ski “The Bubbles” in the sunshine, then drop into “The Dark Side.” “The Bubbles” are fun pillows we can see from the hut that receive photons directly from our closest star. “The Dark Side” is a long, steep, scary, hard-to-find chute feels big […] Conditions Report Miles Clark | January 17, 2025 0 Comments
