Secret ValleyI found the snow!
Over the past few days some members of the World Cup Academy team along with a few other guests had the opportunity to stay up at the Golden Alpine Holidays Sentry Lodge out in the back country to get some early on snow skiing in. It was quite short notice but within a few days Gord Jewitt (a member of the team) along with the rest of the crowd managed to get food and logistics organized in time so that we were able to take off in a helicopter on Sunday afternoon just outside of Golden BC... We flew into Paradise!
The pictures describe it best, but the first night we were there, the tempertures cooled down quite a bit to harden the bottom baselayer of snow. With a small sprinkle of fresh powder on the second day, we were able to crust ski for miles around what is known as the Secret Valley.
Enjoy the photos!
