Skiing, biking and adventuring in the Rockies and beyond

  • Monashees Ski Basecamp

    The ski lore of BC runs as deep as the snow piles high… and for the third year in a row, I found myself barreling down an interior BC highway in April with Jackson & Matt – truck full with a week’s worth of ski gear and Canadian beers – with sights set on a…
