Tour In The Dagobah System

For my last day in Revelstoke, I went touring in Rogers’ Pass with my friends; Jake Sakson, Mark Welgos, and Lange Adams. The day started at 6:00am with a drive up the pass and a mission to ski in a secret pillow zone that Jake called “The Dagobah System.”  After admiring the morning alpin-glow on the surrounding mountains at the trail head, we started our four hour trek up the mountainside through a beautiful glade. With lots of kick-turns, some creative route finding, and practicing our skin-astics over fallen logs and through tight trees, we made it to the ridge and headed up to just above tree level. With well below freezing temps we geared up quickly headed down for one of the most fun runs I’ve ever skied. Check out my GoPro video and the days photo gallery below:
