Ridiculous
Somehow I haven’t blogged about the greatest present Revelstokians have ever gotten. A little earlier than Christmas but on Dec 22 Revelstoke Mountain Resort opened its doors to the general public. This mountain has long been my stomping grounds, early season, late season and occasionally poached during the winter. The hill has always been a [...]
Merry Christmas

The present avalanche conditions are variable with hidden dangers lurking. It feels and looks good but many random avalanches have been triggered lately and the alarms are [...]
Dec 7th
Today is a very significant day for myself and a few friends. 8 years ago today a large avalanche swept five of our friends down a mountain side in Roger’s Pass. A few of us were thousands of feet below them digging snow pits when someone yelled "avalanche" and we ran to the safety of [...]
Little Sifton
Well the pineapple express came through and dumped 50 cm of snow in town on Monday and then rained till Wednesday night. Things didn’t sound great but somehow the rain line was at 6000 feet and it must have snowed 1.5 meters above that rain line. So today we busted up Grizzly shoulder and [...]
