Heading Catskiing With SWS
NicolasThe crew at Dendrite, Athan and I, are heading to Selkirk Wilderness Skiing on Sunday. We have to leave Vancouver at the ‘way to early to be doing anything’ hour of 04:00. With a long drive to Meadow Creek ahead of us, we want to get an early start. Athan, myself, and Brett Crabtree will be heading up in my trusty Fit, while Eliel, Max, and Chris will be heading up in El’s truck. The skiers coming along with us to film for the week have changed a lot over the last 2 weeks. We really wanted to get Matt Elliott out there but his knee injury is still holding him back from hucking the flips and 3′s he is so known for. Heal up buddy. As well, Dave Treadway was invited back to the Red Bull Cold Rush, and with a world class invite like that, he had to bail. Good luck Dave, we hope you crush it!
Luckily, living in a mecca like Whistler means that there are always keen rippers more than stoked on a free cat skiing trip and film exposure. Brett Crabtree and Max Arsenault are two guys who have put in a lot of time in front of the lens the season and they earned our last 2 spots. The final roster includes Maxim Arsenault, Brett Crabtree, Eliel Hindert and Chris Turpin. These 4 guys are going to kill it at Selkirk and hopefully the high pressure will let Max and Brett get into some big terrain while Eliel and Turpin show the mountains more style than ever before.
We are stoked on Selkirk Wildnerss Skiing‘s support of our project! These guys were the first ever catskiing operation in the world!! I’m sure they’ll show us the goods.
