When the invite to tag along with a Smith trip in Revestoke came we jumped at the opportunity. A chance to hang with Chris Rubens, Eric Hjorleifson, Griffin Post, Nic Teichrob, Wyatt Caldwell, and legendary team manager Gabe Schroder, while shooting an ‘The Experience Is Everything’ webisode is pretty much one of the coolest things you could do with your time.
Day one of the trip was a good team building exercise. The weather wasn’t amazing and it was decided to climb and ski the iconic peak of Revelstoke, Mt. Begbie. We rallied in the morning and climbed up to the summit and down the NW face. Don’t ask us what the line looks like because we spent most of our time in the alpine in clouds. Greg Hill’s blog has some pics of the face we skied if you’re interested in learning more.
Below are some pics we snapped during the day.

Nic Teichrob starting the summit push with a camera pack on. Tripod, lenses make things so much easier. Or not.

After descending a ridge by brail we got on to the face. We found a few good turns. Skier Eric Hjorleifson.
Stay tuned for more reports on this trip this week.
