Everyone wants a wildlife encounter. Well, no bears today, but we did find this Western Garter.
I think most of the crew was more interested in the helicopter over there, though.
It was a fine day to fly. Much clearer than our inspection lap on Saturday.
Top of the world with Giant Bikes.
Speaking of which, there’s the bikes. Make it Reign! No wait…better put them down nicely. It’s a long way to the bottom from here.
Adam and boys letting it rip in the alpine. It’s good ground up here. Usually you can’t go this quick in the alpine, but Barber is much more forgiving than some other heli zones we use.
Yeeeha!
Here’s a few postcard shots for you.
Halfway down and we took a little lunch break at Tenquille Lake. I first rode here in 1989. Not much has changed. There’s been a forest fire, the cabin has been rebuilt, but overall it’s much of a sameness.
After some grub and a little swim it was time to hit some more descent.
It’s long, fast, sketchy, and once we finished working some shots with Sterl, we shredded it right to the bottom. Just had to stop once to check out this grouse.
Another great day. I think the journos had some fun, we’ll have to see what they say in the upcoming article. Awwww….who are we kidding. Today was AWESOME! More heli fun coming up.
