CATSKIING CRIBS / Selkirk Wilderness Skiing / Meadow Creek

When Catskiing Canada visited Selkirk Wilderness this winter one thing that really stood out was the hospitality and the fun at the Lodge.

It felt like I was going to thanksgiving family dinner and each night was filled with some serious game playing..

If you don’t know what the game of “Crud” then you need to go visit to see first hand.

We loved that we could ski our last run right up to the lodge and within seconds have a warm appy and a fresh cold pint.

We call this lodge a  “home Run”

Our Catskiing Canada team had an insane visit at Valhalla Powder Snowcats located near Nelson BC.  Adam had arrived just injured himself before the trip..

You would never know that he isn’t a 100% when you see him take on some of the terrain at Valhalla.

Did he stomp it or did he bomb it? Will have to wait to see in the upcoming Untracked Guides article!

We all dig our heels in sometimes.. especially on issues that matter deeply to us.

Brain is a bit stubborn when it comes to big powder events…. With over 170cm over the week..

He is pretty much demanding he stays on the job until all the guiding work is done…

CATSKIING TV / POWDER GUIDES / Episode 3 Teaser

We filmed at Selkirk Wilderness Skiing for Episode 3 of Powder Guides for The Ski channel and thought we would share a quick little clip from some of our footage with lead guide Jason.

A typical day of Catskiing  is usually all about powder turns. However, If you ask your guides nicely and have demonstrated a bit of skill.. they may point out a few features to “Huck your Meat”.

For the most part there is always a fairly reasonable way down to the cats.

When your with a media crew and your looking to get a few good photos it pays off to ask one of your guides to not just show you a drop.. but perhaps show you how to nail it.

Joe was our willing participant and thanks to some radio guiding with lead guide Scott he stomped the landing avoiding what he notified as a “Giant Ice Cookie” just left of his landing (just out of photo frame)

Thanks Joe!

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.

One of the aspects of Catskiing that sometimes gets less attention is the importance of great guides… The Selkrik Guides led by Jason were amazing to work with from a media perspective- and judging from the sore cheeks of the smiling guests we went with.. they felt the same way.

Some athletes cross train all summer to prepare for a winter in the backcountry. Daryl likes paddling out and dropping waves.. Clearly the training more than pays off.. it looks like high returns even in a down market. The K3 Stock exchange is trending a bull market.

Getting a little air is one of the joy’s of Catskiing in the powder… the feather bed landing makes ya hold it a little longer or pop it a bit harder. Either way… it just feels good.

Christian makes this look easy.. if you take a closer look.. he is on a no board.. I think he was threading the needle in his case.
