Flying season turns on

Dave climbing out in Revelstoke

Its never easy sitting at home in the spring with a broken boat. All the rivers are pumping and I feel like I am missing out! Luckily the flying has been ridiculous. Endless flyable days, little wind, tons of thermals...unreal. From Pemby to Rev the flying has been going off. Last week saw the best day yet in Revy, all the locals had great flights up to 3800m (~13000ft) and hit all the local classics. Martha and back, Cartier, and just soaring over the valley until 8pm.

Hey look there's a ski hill down there!


This is what you look like after being hypothermic for too long, Mt Revelstoke park and Mts. Cousier, Dickey, and St. Cyr in the background
