Booking AST 1 sled specific courses. December 26-27th in Hunters Range. Some minor changes this year to our classroom portion with physical distancing but luckily we have a large classroom that makes this easy. **Online training will be ready in December for those that want to do the theory from home.

#throwbackthursday I’ve been thinking of these days a lot lately. Let’s just say I don’t do well in the hot hot heat. Can’t wait to get back to a few of my favourite spots. #skitouring #canada #winter #missingwinter #letitsnow #avalanchecanada @ Monashee Mountains

Loving your backyard is one of the best things you can do for yourself. They come in all shapes and sizes. Get outside and do what you love.

One of my favorite places to climb up to. Love this ridge near vista pass

Good views and great company is all I need this time of year. Wear sunscreen and don’t let your guard down. We say lots of cornices falling and wet loose sides in the upper 5-10cm from the little blast of winter that hit the mountains last week. #avalanche #sledding #skidoo850 #getoutside #liveyourbestlife #socialdistancing #goingthedistance #skiing #skintrack #earnyourturns @ Monashee Mountains

I absolutely love this first pic!! That tree and those clouds. Second pic is the view from Watshan peak. Third pic is me practicing probing and digging in fresh Avalanche debris that came down this afternoon when the temps continued to rise. #avalanchecanada #avalanche #monashees #thatskidoofeeling #bluebird #springriding #lastride @ Vernon, British Columbia

Missing those bluebird pow days. #tillnextseason #reflecting #daydreaming #expert #thatskidoofeeling #flashbackfriday

Awesome!! That’s all.

As the season wraps up we begin to reflect back on the amazing season we had. This was from early in the year when we had the privilege to train the Vernon SAR crew. We all hope they never have to use these skills but if that day comes this very keen group will always be ready for the call. Call early, Never hesitate to call, every minute counts. #sar #vernonsearchandrescue #pep #firstresponders #avalanche #avalanchesafety #probeline #probelinessuckwearadamnbeacon #ast1 #training @ SilverStar Mountain Resort

I’m so fricken pumped to welcome this stud and his new steed 14’ xm with @munstercanada and @backyardboltons toys. Tom aka Yeah Bro @getoutthereandlive recently completed his Ops level 1 in February and is keen to join the AST instructor team next season. Yeah Bro and I go back many years. His main work is in the power sector from here to the prairies but crushes on skis and a sled. Give him a follow and watch for him next season. #getoutthereandlive #avalanchesafety #backcountryavalancheawareness #avaware #ast1 #skidoo #munstercanada @ Vernon, British Columbia

Please don’t send me messages about how what we are doing is dangerous. We are not pushing the limits right now. We are very responsibly riding within our abilities to have a safe fun day away from society. We all need to find a way to continue to live our lives but we do need to keep our main focus on stopping the spread of this issue in front of us. Both covid-19 and negativity from people whom are feeling restless at home. #sendlovenothate #socialdistancing #thatskidoofeeling #expert #850 #bluebirdday #getoutthereandlive #coopedup #breathe #checkyourselfbeforeyouwreckyourself #checkyourselfbeforeyouwreckothers

Love sitting around a fire with friends (A meter apart) sharing stories. Here I believe @kyle.woodall was telling us a tale of the Sasquatch that lives in these parts. @getoutthereandlive is sharing with us why is a good time to shred these slopes. @ Monashee Mountains
