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.

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.
