40cm of fresh snow on June 7th!

With the deluge of precip we've had here in the Kootenays over the past week and the cooler temps yesterday we figured the magic combo was about to reveal itself. Sure enough our 6:30am start paid off. 40cm of fresh POW, with blue-bird skies – the ultimate combo any day of the year, especially the first week of June!

The sun was invigorating and the skiing exhilarating. Luckily we planned an early start as the north facing slopes started to cook around 8:00am so we headed for the more westerly aspect of Diamond Drill and it paid off.

Have a look at the pics and vid below and let us know if anyone else took advantage of this spring-time-treat?
