Sometimes a person does the best decisions without even knowing it. Our great idea to work in Canada as a winter ski teachers and secure a skipass for free and cheap accommodation on the spot while out, was very bright idea but is did not went quite according to plan. Therefore, we nodded to the offer to take a job at a gas station and the hotel in Rogers Pass. So again we packed our bags and said goodbye to the Apex which is smaller center in the Okanagan Valley.  Although promising super dry "shampane powder", but since it is so far only 80 cm in here. This is not so promising.

After a crazy journey across half of the BC - when the car in a blizzard before us got a skid, enters into a ditch while this car collided with transmission tower for high voltage. This tower felt down and the wire ends about 10 cm over our roof -  we finally arrived at the place. The first difference, which we note is about 2 meters more snow, which is very pleasant. Initial impressions are therefore generally positive.

Rogers Pass is located approximately in the middle of Glacier National Park and is the highest point on the Trans-Canada Highway in the Selkirk Mountains. In addition to that there is a small hotel and a gas station around here and think around 26 feet of snow per year and the average layer is 2-4 m, there is nothing much interesting. Ordinary tourist or a truck driver stops not for more than for coffee, but for those for whom the snow means something more than a tasteful decoration of a Christmas tree, it's an absolute paradise. Although there is not a single lift and what you want to ride down, you must also hike up, this is the Promised Land for freeride and alpine skiing.

Around the road, on both sides, there are of the best terrain for freeride riding on the Planet. In addition to snowfall, which is truly enormous, the terrain itself, which lies at an altitude of 1300 -3000 m is incredibly ragged. Lines offers from large, narrow couloirs, snowy forests with cliffs and powder pillows, stacked on each other and just bagging you to leave their mark on them.
