Follow the Check Your Pins crew as they return to Quebec’s Gaspe Peninsula on the prowl for pow with the guides at Vertigo Adventures. Their yurt operation, located 35km by snowmobile from the middle of nowhere, is splitboarding heaven located in the heart of the Matane Faunal Reserve where the only competition for first tracks is with the local moose. Nestled between three snow-choked peaks for easy access in every direction, there is no shortage of unexplored zones to tap no matter what the snowpack is doing. With a full week to stack vert, they made the most of it and scored. Check out checkyourpins.com and follow @checkyourpins on Instagram & Twitter for more trip reports, videos, and photos.
