Winter Is Back

After a week of spring, winter came back and brought us some more of this white powdery stuff.

You can either pay over 500 bucks for a catski trip into this area or walk

Fresh lines everywhere
Seems like the ski patrol has a sense of humor, too.

Touring at Roger's Pass

Split your board, touring is on again!
Alex took me to the Roger's Pass, which is one of the most famous touring spots around Revelstoke. He is an outdoor-loving American ...
... and we had an amazing day, for sure.
The view on top wasn't that good, but the run down was loaded with deep powder.

Earn Your Turns

Yesterday, I started my day quite early to go on a little tour in the cold. 
These two skiers took me along to a logging road; a totally new thing to me. Except for the chain mounting. But Alex's chains were kind of tricky ... 
... so we had to mount them "the Canadian way". Fortunately, Alex had some wire.
Cal, enjoying the cold ride up the logging road. He almost lost a toe this day and made some concerning noises on our way back home. - 27 °C can definitely hurt.
The arrival on the top of our skiing-spot. After a little lunch break, we went down ...
... and up again ...
... through winter-wonderland.
On our way back home I practised my drive-by shooting skills. Hopefully, you like this tourist-shot.

First Time Splitboarding

Some days ago, I met this guy at the pool:
After an exhausting jumping session we spent some minutes at the sauna and talked about a preseason-skiing-session.
A few days later, Cal and I went (on bikes, as you can see above) straight into ...

... the woods ... 
... looking for some powder. All we found was some snow to ski hard. 
Nine days left till the resort opening day. There are tons of snow lying up there, waiting to get slashed. And even though we couldn't get high enough to get some powder under our feet, we did have fun. Remember:
