Terry, Len and Tom returned this season.  The men are all great buddies and make sure to meet up at Eagle Pass for good laughs, good company and of course powder skiing via our B2 AStar helicopter.  They also enjoy a good soak in the lakefront hot tub after skiing.  It is there where the term “man soup” was born last year.  The guides made sure that they didn’t forget it either.

Richard was able to escape from a busy and hectic work schedule for trip number two this season.  He made himself right at home and quickly got to know all of the other guests.  He enjoyed more soul turns in the powder and even tried out the NoBoard!  By the end of the week he had made plans to book when Pam and Lesly come again next year and to potentially be back one more time for back country Noboarding and heliboarding!

Matt, also a return guest  came alone because  his regular group had skied with us the week before and he wasn’t able to make it.  He did what any powder loving skier would do.  He cleared his schedule and managed to make it to Revelstoke for 2 days of powder heaven.

We were more than excited when Pam and Lesly booked a last minute heliski trip with us.  Not only because we are always excited to show new guests what we are all about but because they were women and they were coming alone (which we don’t encounter very often).  Pam was able to come to Revelstoke a couple of days early and take in the local scene.  Being a local Aspen girl herself she fit right into our quaint ski town.  She met locals and hiked to secret stashes at the resort, met with our guides who were on days off for coffee, spent time with the girls at the Eagle Pass office and even passed on her renowned massage skills to friends and our very own massage therapist at Eagle Pass.  It was a perfect way to settle in before her dear friend Lesly arrived for heliskiing.  Pam and Lesly met over 15 years ago and continue to meet up at least 2 times per year even though Lesly has now moved to Israel from Aspen, CO.  They first met there and it is where Pam still resides.  These ladies were not lying when they told us they were advanced skiers.  They showed their stuff when matched with any of the boys.  Fun and always smiling the happy go lucky ladies were a great addition, they both spread their positive attitudes throughout the lodge and mountains.  We are very happy to report that they have already booked for 2011.

Day skiers included Canadians Matthew, Ian and Peggy, Australian wild men Stephen x 2 and Lee, and Norwegians Bjarne and Haavard.
