It was not bad to relax on the ferry. The route was awsome.

We made a few stops, Ketchikan, Kake, Sitka, Petersburg, Hoonah and I probably forgot something... all of these are very small cities in the middle of nothing.

After having spent half a day on Hudson Bay Resort's slopes I made the road from Smithers to Prince Rupert. Weather was not so bad.

Arriving at Prince Rupert it was snowing eggs... My ferry to Juneau was at 4:00 in the morning so I drank some beers and tried to sleep in my car but it was ******* cold.

[TWGR 2013 North America trip] Back from MP

Flaine outing Flaine outing

These days at Mustang Powder lodge were amazing. On 4 days we had only one bad day with a warm up avoiding us riding half the day.

Monashee mountains are beautiful and the terrain is really made for snowboarding... bumps, stomps, pillows, drops... so many fun stuff to play with.

Even if you don't see often the sun, lights are kind of magic...

It was painful to leave the place... the downside of the road access was damaged by water and that forced us to make a big chain to transfer all our gear from trucks to the school bus. Then the school bus had to backtracked during 2km... BC's style!

I'm on the road again...
