Man, what a trip to Golden Alpine Holidays! We just all got home, and this was one for the ages! Check out some play by play from the backcountry mission with myself, Heimer, and Hoji:

So we were the first people to roll in to Meadow Lodge at Golden Alpine Holidays this year. With that came digging our way into the cabin and the outhouses.



Heimer joined Hoji and I on the touring trip this year. He’s bracing for impact on this double line, and yes he stomped it.



We had amazing stability this year which allowed us to get into zones that we couldn’t touch last year. Hoji flashed a line in this zone that had me shaking my head in disbelief.



Our guide, Russ, taught us how to build an igloo, a skill that we were all stoked to acquire. This igloo served as my room for 1 night.



The igloo was more than just my room, this was our new chill spot. We could sit 6 people comfortably.



This was another zone that we never got into last year, that got hit this year. Take your pick.



The first morning we woke up at the Sentry Lodge, this is what was staring us in the face while we were eating breakfast. The entrance is a blind rollover, and with a lot of slough that day, it made this a pretty technical face to make it down cleanly.



This is Hoji managing his slough really well and once again skiing this line at breakneck speed.



Amongst getting to shred some gnarly lines we got to tour through some epic zones and have a some time to appreciate the area.



At the end of the day we got to come back to the lodge and chill in front of the fireplace that Hoji, Steve Hjorleifson, and Jenn Ashton had built the previous summer while Bryan Ralph would jam... good times!





Hope you enjoyed the update - we're off to shred the pow at Chatter Creek!!

Until next time,
