Spring fever

This  time of year for the majority of people is the start of biking season, gardening or trail running to name a few. Most ski resorts are closed and the majority of skiers have hung up their gear. In Revelstoke this winter, we had very little snow in town which can sometimes play a big role in motivating people for this stretch of the ski season.

But if you’re like me, skiing just takes on a whole different meaning. Hello sunshine, traverses and peak bagging season!

Although this year I have decided not to go on a traverse, I’m definitely still very keen to go up on a daily basis and soak up the sun and spring conditions. Being surrounded by amazing skiers and mountaineers, I have the luxury of skiing with partners that really know the Selkirks area and are still able to find the “sweet spots”.

Last Wednesday, I joined up with Greg and Aaron to go skiing up around Bruins pass. Things were warming fast in the valley and we just made it up Video before any signs of isothermal snow. I couldn’t believe how warm it was, and how hot the boys were;) We had a great run down the North face of Video and toured around to summit Ursus Major peak which was pretty sweet! After a great run down Ursus, we headed up to the col of 8812 and skied the south facing slope down to Balu and headed home.

This is it for now, tata!
