It Snowed 28 Out of 30 Days.. So We Went to Keefer Lake Lodge

It Snowed 28 Out of 30 Days.. So We Went to Keefer Lake Lodge

January 2020 will be a month to remember. It snowed 28 of the 31 days and we spent 3 epic ones at Gostlin Keefer Lake Lodge. We met up with long time friend Bob Legasa and pro freeskier Essex Prescott for what turned out to be an all you can eat powfest deep in the Monashees. Jeff Gostiln and his crew at Keefer Lake Lodge are new in terms of catskiing operations, but with a blank slate and a tonne of vision they are building something amazing. We skied it all: steeps, open powder bowls, trees, pillows, you name it. We even topped it off with a sunset road gap booter session! The snow is deep and light and the scene is fun, friendly and always a good time.

Put it on, turn it up, and sit down because this will make you ache for ski season.

Filming for this year's Warren Miller film Timeless

Glen Plake visits Mustang Powder Catskiing

Last season Glen Plake dropped in to check out Mustang Powder Catskiing. They were shooting for Warren Miller's latest ski flick: Timeless.

"I can't believe where they take these cats. The road systems are incredible. The guides? Of course Top notch! They have one thing in mind...LOTS OF SKIING!"

We have skied Mustang a few times and know exactly what Mr. Plake is talking about. Nick and the crew up there are all about getting in as much skiing as humanly possible. Then they feed you well and tuck you in for a good night's sleep so you can do it all over again!

 Check out this little behind the scenes exerpt from Warren Miller's TImeless and then be sure to keep the tradition going, grab some buddies and go to the premier in your area.

Winter 2019-2020 Predictions... It's going to be HUGE!

We know and we have science to back it up

Winter 2019-2020 Predictions... It's going to be HUGE! No video selected.

A Big Winter is just around the corner. We know because we are seeing the tell tale signs. Big pine cones up high, thick berry bushes, an abundance of alpine wildflowers, Johnny's hair is flowing wildly...

Are you seeing any of the signs? Here are 21 Signs of a big Winter is in store according to very scientific folklore:

  1. Thicker-Than-Normal Corn Husks.
  2. Woodpeckers Sharing a Tree.
  3. The Early Arrival of the Snowy owl.
  4. The Early Departure of Geese and Ducks.
  5. The Early Migration of the Monarch butterfly.
  6. Thick Hair on the Nape of a Cow’s Neck.
  7. Heavy and Numerous Fogs During August.
  8. Raccoons With Thick Tails and Bright Bands.
  9. Mice Chewing Furiously To Get Into Your Home.
  10. The Early Arrival of Crickets on the Hearth.
  11. Spiders Spinning Larger-Than-Usual Webs and
  12. Spiders entering the House in Great Numbers.
  13. Pigs Gathering Sticks.
  14. Ants Marching in a Line Rather Than Meandering
  15. Early Seclusion of Bees Within the Hive.
  16. Unusual Abundance of Acorns.
  17. Muskrats Burrowing Holes High on the River Bank.
  18. “See how high the hornet’s nest, ‘twill tell how high the snow will rest.”
  19. The Size of the Orange Band on the Woollybear (or Woollyworm) Caterpillar. According to folklore, if the caterpillar’s orange band is narrow, the winter will be snowy; conversely, a wide orange band means a mild winter. All black caterpillars are not Woollybears. And fuzzier-than-normal woollybear caterpillars are said to mean that winter will be very cold.
  20. Squirrels Gathering Nuts Early to Fortify Against a Hard Winter.
  21. Frequent Halos or Rings Around the Sun or 22. Moon Forecasts Numerous Snowfalls.

So if you see pigs gathering sticks...get your skis out!
