| Crazy rime ice monster! (D. Herscovitch) |
I spent this past week in Revelstoke, BC skiing (and face-planting into powder) at
Revelstoke Mountain Resort (RMR), and all I have to say is, wow. Just, wow. The trip was exciting, terrifying, eye-opening, educational, and full of all sorts of fun. Between the incredible amount of snowfall, the lack of crowds, the jaw-dropping scenery and Mother Nature's humbling displays of power, it was impossible not to have an amazing time.
I'll have a post about the mountain, the skiing, and how hard it is to be an "intermediate" skier with a mountain like this at your disposal coming about it in a few days. But for now, I've compiled some of my favorite shots of our week in the beautiful Columbia Mountains, taken either by
Dan or myself.
Please enjoy!
