On January 22 John Cocci and I made our way up to the Revelstoke area to take place in a splitboard festival up at Rogers Pass. This was my second time in the area and I was stoked to head back to such a cool area. The snow up on the pass was insanely deep but the avalanche danger was the worst they had seen in 30 years. Everyone was talking about a slabs going off 1 kilometer wide and 10 feet deep two days earlier.
For two days we rode 3000 foot trees runs with the Canuck Splitfest organizer Wade otherwise known as Treepilot on splitboard.com. It was a great time had by all with the highlight being John winning a brand new Prior splitboard.
In total the festival raised over 2000 dollars for the Canadian Avalanche Association thanks to Wade and all the contributing sponsors including Prior, Voile, and Lib Tech all giving away boards.
See everyone next year!
