…looking to get further into skiing backcountry … Snowmobiles, snowcat, set skin tracks, everything you could want for terrain access. Couldn’t ask for better…

[On BC101] … first rode sleds (as fast as we wanted) … then the cat brought us to several locations … surrounded by snow ghosts (my favourite!) … guides excellent…
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
