Flying to Terrace, BC

Gone for a week and don't want to let perfectly good broccoli go to waste. Holly Walker gets excited about her green veggie vitamins waiting for Hawk Air to fly us far north.

Athelstan

Lead Guide and GM at TLH, Cliff Umpleby, hadn't skied the Athelstan Glacier in over 4 years until today. I guess we got here just in time for a pretty good couple days. And by "pretty good..." I should reiterate, the lead guide and GM hadn't skied this glacier for over four years. The snow was good and stable, the holes were filled in, and the scenery was stunning to say the least!

The View...

...from my office today. Thanks to TLH (Tyax Lodge Heliskiing)!

POWDER GIRL ?!?!?!?!?!

Do you like my little camera? How 'bout that beautiful cliff that Shaun just chucked herself off?

I could -quite literally- go on for days about what a huge honor this is. (REALLY HUGE!!!) But I will spare you my novel, and suggest you check out some light reading by Tess Weaver on page 66 of the 2011 Powder Photo Annual.

We're starting a series....

It's been way too long since Pip and I shot a good heel click photo like the one that took "Best Mountain Lifestyle" in the first annual Ski Salt Lake shootout. We finally decided to continue the tradition. This here is a pre-season-first-real-blanket-of-snow-in-the-mountains heel click.
