Some of the deepest powder I have skied was at Monashee Powder Cat Skiing, so I returned this year, again with my brother Dave, and photographer Jordan Manley.
Our guide Mark warned us that this year was different ... it hadn't snowed in 3 weeks. For me, this was the best snow I skied all season and we took full advantage.

Throughout our 4 day stint, it started to dump Monashee style, but stability became an issue and our planned departure coincided with a big avalanche cycle.
