  • After leaving Revy, chasing a storm down to Nelson and Whitewater, we made our last stop in Rossland, furthest southern resort before you hit the border. Red Mountain is unlike any other mountain I've ever ridden.

  • After a few nights in Revy, we reluctantly left during a snowstorm and spent the better part of a day driving south to Whitewater Resort outside of Nelson. In that time, and then overnight, more than 60 cms of fresh snow piled up on the mountains. It was insanity.

  • It hadn't snowed in 10 days and the mountains had seen a wicked thaw-freeze. Didn't matter though. We could tell by the terrain and the snow that had been there that it was worth another visit. A year later we would have our revenge on the BC Interior.
