After 4.5 days of heliskiing at CMH Gothics lodge. 80,000 verttical feet and 1 swollen forearm later. Averaged -24 Degrees and it's been the longest cold spell I've skiied in. The low temp makes for very dry snow and it has been knee deep all week. Amazing fall line tree skiing at it's finest.

Just arrived at 2nd heliski lodge, the Monashees is famous for Steep and Deep. Hitting the slopes tomorrow morning after a wonderful steak dinner. the lodge here is right on the Columbia River so the snow and the water's edge with helipad between the lodge and the water is very picturesque.
