Over the past week I have had such a great experience riding with the Burton Snowboard team and Pleasure Magazine shooting at several Catskiing operations…

Seeing firsthand this group work- both exceptional Athletes and photographers / videographers… I was inspired and STOKED.

 

When Fischi gives me permission to post some other photos/vids.. I will give you more to chew on.

 

For now….. take a bite out of a few tasty photos from one awsome crew exploring Canada’s Catskiing operations in Whistler (Powder Mountain) Fernie (FWA) and Revelstoke (K3)! or go to the editors blog and hear for yourself some of his thoughts.. at http://fischifoto.blogspot.com/

 

When I sat at my computer and did my daily routine of rounding up all the snow and updates from all the Canadian Catskiing operators for my Facebook Page

Catskiing Canada http://www.facebook.com/CATSKIING.CANADA.ORG I came across a curious posting from one operator located near Revelstoke..

www.MustangPowder.com

It read: “ Have you dreamed of skiing untouched deep fluffy powder? Staying in a luxury remote lodge in the mountains? Eating gourmet meals? Simply write a blog post about why you’d like to try cat skiing for the first time (or why you want to go cat skiing again) for your chance to win a free 3 day ski holiday at Mustang Powder.

This trip includes 3 days of untracked powder skiing, 3 nights accommodation in our remote luxury timber-frame lodge, and all your meals prepared by our excellent gourmet chefs. The total package is worth over $1650. It is sure to be a trip you will not soon forget!!!! “

HELL YA!

The funny thing is… I have been meaning to reach out to the crew at Mustang based on a generous recommendation from rewnownd Guide Larry Stanier.

(photo by another amazing Guide Wren McElroy) Who at the Peak of K3 in Revelstoke carefully pointed out some of the visible terrain just over the pass that was Mustang Powder’s Playground.   Larry’s quiet disposition has a way of radiating stoke.. you can see the underpinnings of an experienced guide who knows his powder.

Thanks to Larry

I was FROTHING.

The stories riding in Cat’s between powder turns told by sage powder hunters over the years whom have visited Mustang had a familiar ring…

This blog is a chronicle of my journey to  EXPERIENCE EVERY SINGLE CATSKIING COMPANY IN CANADA.

 

Like a kid who eagerly anticipates the recess bell. I too feel like a 5 year old staring the the clock—at some point the bell would ring for me knowing I would experience the legend called Mustang Powder.

Up until I read the Posting from Mustang Powder it would likel remain a listing on a scratch pad of a list of every Catskiing Operation to eventually cross off as I visit each powder paradise.

Until now…. Or I hope.

This blog posting serves as my declaration to the crew at Mustang Powder that I swear a powder oath to uphold what I currently do already…

 

Share the Stoke – and share my experience when I get the  opportunity to Ride the Stang.

My only request is to up the stakes… Let me bring upcoming photographer & writer/blogger Kyla Butchko http://freshbits.wordpress.com/ .

 

Together we will syndicate using Photos/words and Video to not only excite the masses..but

(hate to put it this way)

To educate every person who read the contest posting and regret they didnt take advantage of this epic offer!  To just put it out there and not be afraid to say…
