"I drove 5 more hours directly to Kicking Horse yesterday and met up with my old local buddy, Todd. We did a 4,314 vertical foot inbounds run, and the off-piste snow was firing. We skied right back to our cars, switched to backcountry gear, ripped back up the gondola, and popped out of bounds. The snow was cold, dry, and deep. The run was over 3-minutes long... I couldn't believe what I was experiencing."
"This current world we live in is so incredible and bizarre that you can wake up one day in the desert wasteland of the Western USA and be skiing 24″ deep blower BC powder the very next day. I will always be forever grateful to this world and this life - and BC, the one and only true ski Paradise on Earth."
Awoke at 5:30am in a Kalispell, Montana Travelodge after a nine-hour drive from Park City, Utah. Drove five more hours to Kicking Horse and met a local friend, Todd. Completed a 4,314-vertical-foot inbounds run, then switched to backcountry gear and rode the gondola out-of-bounds. Snow conditions were cold, dry, and deep—about 24 inches of blower powder—producing a run longer than three minutes. Experienced euphoria and gratitude at traveling from desert-like Western USA to British Columbia's deep powder. Also experienced an accidental 26-hour fast and listened to the audiobook Lonesome Dove.
