    Hi guys, 

    I am from Moyie BC,  and coming home for reading break, was wondering if anyone might be going for a tour the week of February 14-18 that i might be able to join in on as no one tours from back home. Please let me know as I am really keen to ski Kootaney pass!!

    Hey John, a strong system is due to roll into the area on Friday and last for several days so you should be blessed with incredible skiing at the pass. You may want to post this request under "hook up" as there are a few other locals looking for backcountry skiing partners and maybe one of these will work for you.


    Wish I could join in but duty calls.
