Coldsmoke in the B.C. Interior (with a Mt. Baker encore)
Written by Adam   
Tuesday, 30 March 2010
ImageIt takes about five flights and 50 hours of travel to get from the tropical diving paradise of Saipan to the interior of B.C., but such epic travels are possible with the right motivation. In this case, Grant Gunderson had been invited to compete in the Coldsmoke foto face-off sponsored by Kootenay Mountain Culture and he extended the invitation to me, on the condition that I could get back from the tropics in time. For this, no problem!

ImageHomo sapiens has roots in Africa, so exploring this continent should be quite interesting for Skier sapiens. Alas, Africa has suffered global warming much before our favourite playgrounds in the alps, the scandi or the Americas, so that most of you consider skis and Africa as water and oil.

ImageThe 2010 season in SW Montana is difficult to describe in words, so instead of dwelling on my slim prospects here I decided to travel to Europe. Similar to last season, I flew in and out of Munich and used Switzerland as my base of operations.

ImageTaking the Sette across the Central Pacific was a fun trip, but the real adventure began once we arrived in Guam. Allan, Mark, and I bid farewell to the rest of our colleagues and traded our 224’ ship for a 19’ Boston Whaler. The mission was the same; find, photograph, and biopsy cetaceans in order to get a feeling for what was out there.

ImageIn order to maintain a reasonable level of sanity this season, it’s been important for me to stay mobile. Following excursions to Jackson Hole and Utah in recent weeks, I decided that it was time to work a new destination into the rotation. Five enthusiastic Bridger Bowl skiers loaded up at 0430 in the morning and made the journey to a yurt in the Swan Range near Seeley Lake, Montana.

ImageIt’s the end of January and ski season continues to plod along in Southwest Montana. We have not been fortunate enough to receive any type of consistent snowfall lately, but the coverage is adequate to ski the majority of the lines at Bridger Bowl. Robb Gaffney recently made the journey from Tahoe to visit his family and partake in a classic Bozeman hardpack cycle.
