Our crew on this trip was made up of Professional Big Wave surfer and Skier Chuck Patterson, Bob Legasa and Tim Sorenson and we had a couple newbies join the group for this adventure former Freestyle Champion Tom Hathaway, Photographer Ryan Zimmer and Matt Conger all who were jonsing to get after it since there was over 14" of fresh from the previous day!

Day 1 our guide Stefan Kreuzer brought us into some of the steepest, gladed trees most of us have ever skied. It seemed there were numerous slots that were 1000 feet of vert with lines everywhere. Heaven!!!

Day 2 was filled with much of the same from Day 1 but the sun graced us with it's presence for a short while. but as quickly as the sun made it's appearance, it disappeared but only after we were able to capture some gorgeous video and photos. What a difference Blue sky and sun makes for the morale and imagery

Selkirk's cat roads are extensive and get you to the good terrain quick from mellow to sporty lines and everything in between.
Day 3-Throughout the entire day the sun was playing peek-a-boo with us. It seemed every time we were riding back up in the cat it was sunny outside and the second we clicked into our gear the clouds would hide the sun. Oh well, we had decent light and the snow was epic!

The three days at Selkirk were probably some of the best conditions and tree skiing we have done so far this season. We lucked out with conditions and getting solid guides.
I'd definitely recommend this operation.
Here's a recap of our adventure.
