We will have lots more to share about our trip to selkirk wilderness but for now check out this gallery of the good times we had up there.

We just finished up our third day of epic skiing at Valhalla Powdercats and we were still finding new terrain. Their new expansion into what is called the Caribou Bowl has give Valhalla a huge amount of ski-able terrain. What is interesting about the Caribou Bowl is that it seems to have something for every type of skier. There are wide open alpine bowls, ridge lines, tree runs and airs and features mixed in for good measure.

What really struck us with the Caribou Bowl is that every time we stepped out of the cat our senses where overloaded from the views. Those mountains are massive and so powerful looking. It is worth the trip just to be in those bowls and soak in the vistas. But we weren't just there for the views! Our lead guide Tyler was joined by Maria Grant (one of the owners of Valhalla) and they took us down some new runs that were nothing short of amazing. We even got to session a pillow line that felt like it was right out of Powder Magazine.

It was an incredible experience for us and one that I am sure we will be talking about for years to come. With the new Caribou terrain added to the already legendary Valhalla terrain, do yourself a favour and book now before 2014 sells out!

Here are a few shots from day 3. We will have an entire gallery coming soon.

Today we were treated to an adventure of exploring new terrain and skiing new lines, some that have rarely been skied before. Valhalla Powdercats has just recently started to open up a new area of their terrain called the Caribou bowl. It is a vast alpine area with bowls, rocks, and steeps. From what we've seen, it's a place we will definitely want to come back to.

We also had the pleasure of skiing with a pair of Dutch ski journalists, Julie and Caroline of Juulski & Carolinevanthoff Photography. They were drawn to BC by the snow, and from the looks on their faces today, I think they like it here.

Here is a taste of the pictures we collected in our journey today.

Today was just day one of a three day trip to Valhalla Powdercats and if the turns today were any indication, we are in for something special. the later half of March has been great for skiing in the high alpine. It is brown and warm in the valley but up high the snow has been coming in 20cm and 30cm waves every few days. Valhalla had a complete reset a while back and the temperatures are mid-winter. The snow is light and fluffy and the stability is excellent. Late season skiing is at its best here in the Valhallas.

this trip we are cruising around the Valhalla terrain exploring their newly expanded area the Caribou Bowl. The terrain up there really feels like bigger mountain heli skiing and gives the Valhalla area a whole new feel. Big bowls and rolling hills to narrow steep chutes, there is something up there for any skier ability. Another two days of this and we should have it all figured out!

We took a tonne of pics today that we will be sorting through but for now check out these few gems:

We had a powder filled beautiful sunny day at Big Red Cats. We made the trek out early this morning and met the Big Red crew at the very cold staging area. It's hard to believe but it was -17 and sunny which meant the snow was dry and light. Perfect for shredding under the Kootenay sun.

Our guides Kieren and Pete took us to some new terrain that we hadn't skied yet in all our years at BRC. The last few years Kieren and his summer crew have been opening new terrain giving returning guest something new to experience year after year. We found some great terrain to play around in making for some excellent shots. This is the start of a four day road for us so we will post a full gallery next week but for now we have a few tasters below:

The last day of our three day excursion to Selkirk Wilderness has come and gone. Now that we are down in the valley where it is Spring, the memories of the powder at SWS seems like forever ago. At least on our last day it had snowed 30cms overnight up at the Selkirk weather station!

We were treated to line after line of fresh snow all day long which ended with a perfect blast down Alan's Glades. Jason and Rob took us to all the sweet spots of the day and all that was left when it was over were smiles and stories.

Thanks for the great trip SWS! Stay tuned for a full story and gallery of our visit. For now, here are a few pics from Day 3:

For the guys in Group 2 that skied with us, here is a guest photo gallery.

There is something amazing happening in the deep parts of the Kootenay region of BC. At 6am in the morning we woke up as the snow just started to fall. As I write this is 12 hours later and the snow still hasn't let up. In fact, it is snowing even harder.

Our second day here at Selkirk brought us run after run of perfect Kootenay smoke and we ate up as much as we possibly could. We did a three-run session in Midnight Bowl that was just this side of epic and then Kevin and Jenneka (our guides) took us over to SWS's famous Bunga Bunga to polish off the day. Long vertical, big trees and deep powder were on the menu for the day.

Tonight we are being treated to a meal prepared by David Hawksworth of Hawksworth Restaurant in Vancouver BC. We got a few runs late in the day with David and his head chef Christian and those boys know how to rip!

The lodge is buzzing with anticipation for tomorrow and by the looks of the storm dumping down outside it is going to be wild.

SPOTS AVAILABLE!

By the way, Selkirk Wilderness Skiing still has some spaces left at the end of March. 3 Day and 5 Day Tours. Take it from us, the powder is insane and you will be glad you came! Tell em we sent ya!
