It all started with a 7 hour drive from Calgary to Big White near Kelowna, BC. But it was all worth it…see, the trip was for one of my best friend’s wedding and they had rented a $2000 per night, 6000 sq. ft chalet right on the run. It even had one of those swimming pools where you swim under the glass and you’re outside. Nice. 9 of us staying at a place that can sleep 23, so I was stoked to say the least.

The weather was perfect…inversion conditions with fog in Kelowna and warm, spring-style slush up on the hill with temperatures hovering around 12 degrees. Not bad for January.

…after a few days riding with great people in the sunshine and drinking enough to sink the russian navy we headed to Silverstar to extend the trip. By the time we got there the temperature was over 15 degrees and the snow started to slush-up. They’ve got a great park up at Silverstar to much respect to the crew up there.

Off to Revelstoke…

Rolling into town the fog was low and thick so we just knew that it was going to be clear and sunny up top. If you’ve never been to Revy, all you need to know is that it is steep….real steep, and there’s no easy way down, so if you have troubles on blue runs, this hill ain’t for you.

The view from over 8,000 feet is unreal and with the fog below it was even cooler. Such an epic trip. Congrats Jeff and Sadie!
