Great Canadian Tele Tour II

Last week I made a return trip to British Columbia to ski the Canadian Rockies and Selkirks. I met up with friends Chuck & Dan, and we ski toured in BC's backcountry, which is spectacular - cool valleys, awesome tree glades, and magnificent glaciers. B.C. is still sporting a 20 foot snowpack (you heard me right - 20 feet), and with snow stability & conditions ideal, we were able to tour up high on the glaciers and enjoy 2-4000ft. descents in glorious powder. I only shot video of the descents, but I came away with some decent images during the climbs. Thanks to Chuck for letting me take command of his Canon Elph, it was great to shoot lightweight again!
