There’s nothing like the Kootenay’s.  Except maybe in the Lord of the Rings…  maybe.

Time for the annual guides training session at Retallack Lodge.  We have a ton of safety measures to refresh on, and also new wildlife regs to go over.  Gotta protect the bunnies and such…

Here’s the crew this year: Kinrade, Bri, Ryland, Me, and Lorraine.  ‘Raine is gonna want to kill me for this pic, but it makes me laugh so it’s worth it.

Alright, on to the scenarios.  Just remember that these are all for fun.  Nobody was actually hurt.  Here we’re practicing some high angle rescue and some innovative new packaging techniques (more about that later).

Yeah, I agree.   F*$k 24″ wheels.

If you haven’t heard, Retallack can be pretty steep in places.

After a hard day at work, we gotta unwind with some Indo Board Jenga.  It’s definitely as hard as it looks.

Game over, man.  Game over…
