Tantalus mission skunked
This morning Kye, Hjorleifson, Blake and I drove to Squamish in hopes of getting a heli drop in the Tantalus range. Unfortunately by the time we reached the lookout on Highway 99 too many clouds were lingering in our zone so we had to pull the plug. Hopefully this high pressure system sticks around for a couple of days and gives us an opportunity to try again.

We arrived in Revelstoke on Monday night after skiing a full day at Valhalla. On Tuesday I took the day off skiing to stretch, play my guitar and work on some emails. By Wednesday I was ready to jump back on the S7′s and go shredding! After hearing the buzz for a couple of seasons, I was pumped to finally ski at Revelstoke. Mike, Sage and I went on a photo mission with Blake. We had to get creative because the light wasn’t ideal but it made for some fun shots with the flash kit.
Sage and I after a quick boot pack
Thursday however, was a different story altogether. We were still in the fog when we parked the trucks in the morning but by the time we were 2/3 of the way up the Stoke lift we hit sunshine. The sky was blue and mountain peaks pointed out above a thick sea of clouds. I snapped a lot of photos, here are some of my favourites:
