The snow just continues to drop in March…. A typical spring with longer hours and even bigger dumps.
La Nina is far from over…

Pillow drops are one of the best features of backcountry Catskiing operations terrain.
White Grizzly has plenty of them.

When we get up to operations filming it great to see guests just “Giver” on big fluffy powder days.. At White Grizzly you could huck and never hit bottom it seems. This kid from Michigan showed his mettle on this sizable air.

A sleepy town called Meadow Creek is home to a Catskiing operation which inspires your powder dreams into a true backcountry experience.
This is….. White Grizzly Adventures.

Most skiers dream of a untouched slope to call their own, to carve their turns and have the feeling that only comes to those who make first tracks. North of Nelson BC Canada quietly tucked away from the spot light of the growing Catskiing Industry is a very little known spot to the masses called White Grizzly.
In experienced ski circles someone will have heard of someone who has skied there, and their tall tales of steep, long powder runs – as we would soon discover were more than slightly understated. When we got the call to film at White Grizzly it felt like we were going to be on an expedition on Discovery Channel to find the rare White Grizzly itself.
The owners Brad and Carole Karafil are not your typical Catskiing Operators. For starters this happy go lucky couple are all business when it comes to safety / details and doubly serious about getting as much vertical each day that they can. ( For their guests.. and they seem to get alot of turns in too)

Once in a while you feel like taking a few minutes just look around you and marvel at the view- and digest that you are close to nothing and far from everything.

It’s Sept.15 and that means Catskiing Canada blog is now back in action.
Last years conditions were so amazing, and with forecasters calling for a repeat of La Nina all operators are reporting excellent early season bookings. If your thinking of heading out this winter.. Might want to start inquiring about availability so you can get out and drop some pillow lines.
This year we are launching some exciting programs with operators and looking to be out filming and snapping pics to share of our adventures. In addition, we are working with the Ski Channel to produce a show following the staff and people who work in the background and directly with guests to make a Catskiing trip a safe and memorable one.

Fingers crossed…
Its gonna be an epic 2011-2012 season!
