15. Avalanche Road, On Assignment
1 year ago
This video was shot during an assignment for SBC Skier magazine. We were doing a piece on a few different veteran avalanche professionals in British Columbia, following them through their day-to-day duties. Accompanied by writer Dan K., I spent some time skiing and looking at snow with Eric Dafoe who works for Parks Canada controlling the Rogers Pass section of the Trans Canada highway between Revelstoke and Golden.
Additionally, I got up close and personal with the Canadian Army's Howitzer 105, firing at some avi paths above the road. The army is partnered with Parks Canada to control the road.

We also spent some time closer to home on the Duffey Lake Road with Scott Aitken and Doug Tuck ski touring and digging pits once again. These guys have been working the road for 25yrs now. I had a lot of fun with them, and I learned a lot.
