Stewart BC - Hyder AK Snowmobile Ski Mission 2009

Submitted by biglines on Wed, Feb 17, 2010
In April 2009 I had the privilege to join Dave and Daryl Treadway on a sled ski mission in the Stewart BC, Hyder AK area. When I tagged up with them in the zone (I came in a few days after them), the boys had already laid down some impressive lines and they continued to push it while I was there. I ended up being more of a spectator/documenter on this trip than a participant because the level of skiing was so out there. The mind set of the boys was very focused on slaying big lines and they were making remarkable progress. It was a special trip, the kind that only happens a few times in a lifetime. It was the kind of trip where everything went right, well, almost everything.

There's a few reasons why it's worth considering this as an option for a good day touring.

His smile is big enough to light Blackcomb mountain on a storm day, and his positive attitude is infectious. By the way, he's also an incredibly talented skier. Read more.
