Eagle Pass Heliskiing is excited that Fortress Mountain in Alberta has returned!  And we are thrilled to announce a partnership with KPOW’s fantastic new venture.

KPOW Catskiing and Eagle Pass Heliskiing have teamed up to offer ‘KPOW PLUS’ packages and discounts for our shared customers!

Albertans (and anyone else) can now warm up their legs, hone their deep powder skills locally, and get stoked on their way to Revelstoke. First-timers to CAT or HELI skiing can take powder lessons at KPOW to catch the thrill and build their confidence, then graduate to a helicopter with access to over 345,000 acres of legendary Monashee backcountry terrain and untracked champagne powder.

Flow Tailgate Alaska was formed in 2008 by Mark Sullivan (founder of SNOWBOARD magazine, and former editor of Snowboarder Magazine.) Held annually on Thompson Pass (Valdez, AK), the event has grown more than 1500% in the past 5 years, making it the World’s largest backcountry event and one of the only participation based events in winter sports.

Flow Tailgate BC launches in 2012 as the premier event in Revelstoke and is set to become the defining event for fans of BC’s legendary backcountry powder.  Tailgate BC features a mix of pro and amateur riders and first time access to untouched terrain from Eagle Pass Heliskiing – a chance for a First Descent and the bragging rights to Name That Run.

Flow is original, innovative and different-by-design. Flow is not defined by a “me too” mentality; it is a brand of Leaders, Mavericks and Renegades. It flows against the grain and smashes the status quo. Our sole mission is to push the limits of design in order to maximize performance, comfort, convenience and most of all FUN for snowboarders worldwide. The winning combination of talented athletes and cutting edge technology continues to make Flow “Sick since 96″.

We’ve saved some virgin terrain that will be ridden for the first time during Flow Tailgate BC.

For those of you who maybe haven’t heard . . . we have had ridiculous amounts of snow this season so far.
We are sad for our many friends in Europe and USA that aren’t getting the snow they deserve and hope we can help make it better by treating them to some of the world’s deepest, driest, and fluffiest snow.

New powder and un-tracked lines.

February is 99% full but there are some epic runs to be had in March – including First Descents and the chance for you to Name The Run.

Thanks Leanne Pelosi for the great video.

Scott brings a wealth of experience, energy, enthusiasm, drive, passion and love of the sport.

Scott Newsome has been cited in over fifty different articles as “the guide for the NEW Generation of backcountry skiers and snowboarders.” His accomplishments include time as a professional snowboarder, the first ever ACMG certified ski guide on a split board snowboard and an extensive guiding career. His highly successful career as a backcountry guide at heliski resorts in Canada and Alaska as well as his extensive experience in the sports film industry as the go-to guide for top athletes like Nicolas Muller, Jeremy Jones and Travis Rice are what sets Scott apart from the crowd. A long way apart. In 2010 when the FRENDS crew wanted to go heliboarding for the first time they sought out Scott Newsome and came to Eagle Pass.

Scott has been integral to Eagle Pass since the new ownership team took over in December of 2010. He has worked in the ski/snowboard industry for 18 years, starting in 1983 at Lake Louise in Banff National Park. Scott has worked at a number of resort and spent time guiding as the cat skiing resort his family owned in Revelstoke, Cat Powder. He was instrumental in bringing the Tailgate BC event to Revelstoke and setting up Eagle Pass Helsiskiing’s first heliboard week, among many other accomplishments. Scott is sought out by many guides in the industry and has been integral in building one of the best guiding pools any company has to offer their clientele. Eagle Pass’s guiding roster has over 150 combined years of guiding experience.

We are very excited to have him on our team and pleased to announce this well-deserved promotion.

Thank you,

Eagle Pass Heliskiing
