Hi splitboarders! I’ve been reading all those reports for a couple of weeks, i just can’t believe how many cool touring places there are out there….
Here’s my little report with photos for fairy meadows hut which is a 20 minutes heli flight from a heliport near Golden, BC…
First ever heli ride, first ever hut trip out west, no first real glacier splitboarding though!!!
They kind of made a ‘seat sale’ beginning of january so we ended a group of 2 canadians + 8 from USA and the other group of ten were guys from Matchsticks Productions…pretty cool to see those pros dropping big cliffs/riding crazy pillow lines between trees…and realy friendly people too…great hut mood!
A lot of snow almost every day combined with already sketchy avi conditions made for deep tree/treeline snowboarding but no big tour for all the week + 1 day we were there…

Heli coming in…

One of the few days we could see the peaks around…

Cool hut with a big sleeping room for 20! No electricity, no cell/internet, no shower for a week, just touring and waking up in the middle of the selkirks….nice feeling…

Fluffy cool snow!

Cool sunrise…

Example of why we didn’t go too much in the alpine….

So super cool trip, awesome price, mellow mood in there made for an excellent first hut trip….now i just want to move out west and tour those glaciers during spring!
Cheers!
