Mixed conditions at Revelstoke resort and Valhalla Powder cats make for some good times and great photos. Check out the video by Eric Crosland and a few pics from the trip below.

Shooting with Mark Gallup and a huge crew of skiers and snowboarders including Mark Abma, James Heim, Chris Davenport, Eric Hjorleifson, JP Solberg, Lisa Filzmoser, and Murray Wais from Matchstick got to shred some late season powder in this awesome terrain. Our steam was knocked out of us when we found out the unfortunate death of Shane McConkey base jumping in Italy on the last day of our trip. He was a great hero to all of us.

Filmed daily by the boys at Freeride entertainment, the footage was then judged by the skiers and posted on the internet for the word to see. A modernized big mountain event with a freestyle component to find out who was the most rounded skier. All done in the super killer and unique terrain at Retallack Lodge in the Kootenays. Kye Petersen came out on top with the win with JP Auclair and Sage Cattabriga-Alosa behind.

The reason is because its gnarly and really difficult to access. With the recent construction of the Jim Haberl hut at the top of the Serratus col, Kye Petersen, Matty Richard, Paddy Kaye, and myself decided a winter mission was in order. Getting a flight in from Darren at Black Tusk Heli with the agreement that it might not be possible to pick us up, we embarked on a three day mission of climbing and skiing in this unbelievable spot.

Short, cold days and lots of snowfall and weather make the odds stock against you but if you get a good high pressure of weather, its pretty much the best skiing you will ever have. Nothing short of a miracle happened for us as we rolled in to almost ten days straight of sunny weather and good snow on all aspects with our own private heli. Mark Amba, Eric Hjorleifson, and Sean Pettit with his first heli trip provided some all time action. Steve Winter, Guillaume Tessier, and Nate Nash rounded out our crew. Thanks to Sean Dawg at Alaska heli skiing. This was one to remember. If only it could be this easy all the time.

Along with Shin Campos as our backcountry mentor to the boys. Super fun times and great snow conditions made it a great trip. We were only missing Nike team manager Riley Poor that put this trip together and missed it due to a spinal accident. We all missed you Riley. Thanks for everything!

The first trip of the year started with a week at Fairy Meadows hut with Eric hjorleifson, Hugo Harrisson, James Heim, Chris Rubins, and Dustin Lingrin with Guillaume Tessier from Matchstick Productions. We had 7 days of stormy skiing with a huge avalanche cycle after almost two meters of snow. Easy laps from the cabin kept us entertained in the day with some killer skiing followed by whiskey and poker at night. Apologies to all the other ski tourers looking for a good nights sleep. Highly recommend booking time in one of these huts.
