Deep POW BC

James Morland •

Just rounded up the first of 6 weeks guiding at Bell 2 Lodge with Last Frontier Heliskiing. Despite some challenging weather we skied awesome snow 7 out of 7 days with big smiles all round. Big thanks to the Gibous, Dmitry and Cedric for a memorable week!

Here are a few: images courtesy of Cedric Bernardini.
