Video TR: Selkirk Sled-Ski-Mo

[angrysasquatch]

Over an extra long weekend, a buddy and I packed a ton of junk on sleds and dropped over the backside of a popular sledding area into a rarely traveled valley, then up the other side with sled and skin onto a sick glacier with tons of ski potential.



First descent is Sugarloaf Mountain, north col, second Beaver Mountain north face, third Sugarloaf, east face direct.

That whole thing is Boss! Liked the longer bootpack bit really sold how heavy that was!

[Gerome]

You're not kidding about a ton of junk; sleds, camping gear, verts, technical ice axes, & roped travel. Nice!

[shafty85]

Well played!

[Lambert]

Sick! Bootpack was heavy! How are those plates with crampons when you hit solid ice?

[powtario]

Fuck me that is TR of the year material. Great work, never thought I would get more stoked/puckered as 8 min of Go Pro progressed.

[kootenayskier]

Love it.

[crashidy]

Awesome, been looking at that for a while from across the valley. Way to go. That is rad!

[butterscotch]

Nicely done. Are those Salomon Czars you're skiing on? If so, huge props -- I wouldn't want to be in that kind of terrain on those things nor would I want to carry them.

[LeeLau]

Pretty much perfect

[angrysasquatch]

Thanks guys. The crampons are fully capable front pointing with plates on. No noticeable extra slop once you get em set up nice.

Yes, czars. Different strokes, I love the way they ski. The low rocker and lack of sidecut is a lifesaver in breakable crust. Unlike touring specific skis they have enough edge material they don't suffer a compression when merely looking at a rock.

Wow, those are some sporty lines. Nice video TR, thanks.

I'll go with "riveting" as I watched from the edge of my seat. That was so fun to watch.

Really enjoyed the matter of fact descriptions especially re the abalakov on Beaver's N Face. Also thoroughly enjoyed how you route found down Sugarloaf's face with your memory and photos. Entertainment value A ++

Making an almost 10 minute edit with go pro and a tool tune is a task and a half. Victory. Some damn sweet lines Angry
