Canada! Skiing Pillows and Powder at Revelstoke and Kicking Horse.

The best trip of the year (so far)

Last week Sasha Motivala and I drove up to Canada from Jackson, with goals to ski Kicking Horse, Revelstoke and a little backcountry with sleds. It was amazing. We got good snow the day we drove in and refills all week.






Our first day was in Kicking Horse with 37cm overnight. The marketing manager met us for a couple laps and showed us around.

There are so many pillows and airs right in bounds without having to hike!

Tons of steep chutes and airs

One of my favorite zones at Kicking horse of pillows stacked everywhere. Unfortunately only had a couple chances to ski them before we headed to Revelstoke the next day.

We found great snow and tons of things to jump off at Revelstoke too! The North bowl offers some really fun big mountain lines and mini golf airs down in the trees.

We took our sleds out to look for some more pillows and powder. It did not disappoint! Video from our trip coming soon!
