Bralorne

Monday, February 26th, 2007

I’m in Bralorne for 12 days with Wink inc. Bralorne is an abandoned minning town north of Pemberton. At one time 2500 people lived here making it one of Canadas largest towns. It’s home to the largest underground mine in B.C and while in operation produced the largest amount of gold of it’s kind. During the trip we me t up with a miner Ned who is involved in gold exploration and he took us on a tour 3000 feet into the ground. What a crazy experiance. It snowed almost every day of the trip but we still got some great skiing and sledding in. It’s the beauty of skiing off the snowmobiles because if this would have been a heli trtip it would have been a total waste of time, but as it turned out it was a huge success.

Revelstoke

Thursday, February 1st, 2007

Snow turned to shit in Whistler so it’s I’m on the hunt for snow. Luckily I don’t have to go that far as Revelstoke still has good snow. i’m off with Bryn Hughes a few snowmobile buddies and my brothers. The snow is was good enuf to ski but after being spoiled early season it’s hard to get excited about b grade snow so it turned into an exploration trip. It always amazes me how many mountains you can travel in a day of sledding. After 6 days I’de travelled over 700kms and been on top of as many mountains as you could ski tour in an entire lifetime. Dave decided to make this day interesting!!
