- On December 23rd, my roommates and I ventured up to the McGill area of Rogers Pass. Waiting for us was 120cms of storm snow and a really jolly day in the mountains.
Skiing in Rogers Pass is only possible with complete cooperation with the Winter Permit System. If you are new to the area, go to the visitors centre or go to: www.pc.gc.ca/e... to learn more about the Winter Permit System. Also, you need at least a transceiver, probe, shovel, and avalanche safety training to ski in the backcountry! To sign up for a course go to: avalanche.ca/t...

I miss skiing with you Phil!!
I think your concept of "very deep" is about a meter different than mine. Still looks like great skiing though!
Perhaps it was a biiiit of an exageration lol - still was great skiing and a fun day out!
I've always wondered? What is the point of the trackers, what do they do?
Trackers, or any other equivalent modern alpine transceiver, are a tool used for companion rescue in the event of an avalanche. The transceivers have two modes: send mode and search mode. When you start your day, everyone in the group will turn their transceiver on and set it to send mode. In the event that a group member is swept away by an avalanche, the remaining group members will all switch their transceivers into search mode. They will then proceed to search for the missing group member (transceivers usually have a range of 40-60 meters). That's a highly highly highly oversimplified version of it - if you want to learn more you can do so here: avysavvy.avalanche.ca/en-ca
Sweet video, what radios are you guys using?
hahha basically wtf ..awesome!!
just paused at 2'36" for the edu bit, appreciate the tutorial :-)
great video!
what ski and bindings were you using?
I was using Atomic Bentchetler 120s with Salomon Shift bindings :) such a fun powder setup
@@MikeyFriedland sounds like a great set up, I am looking forward to get one too ;)
Did you have any problems with the brake width? because the chentlers are 120 and the shift binding is 120 max...?
Did you dig a pit at any time during the day ?
We did! At about 2pm
@@MikeyFriedland You should share what you found.
We did! It's in the video :)
We also filed a M.I.N. report
