Last week I was shooting for an SBC Skier magazine article following a few different veteran avalanche professionals in British Columbia through their day-to-day duties. Accompanied by writer Dan K., I spent some time skiing and looking at snow with Eric Dafoe who works for Parks Canada controlling the Rogers Pass section of the Trans Canada highway between Revelstoke and Golden. We spent some time ski touring and digging pits, as well as getting up close and personal with their Canadian Army partnership firing the Howitzer 105 at some avi paths above the road. The percussion blast is so strong it made my camera smack me in the forehead when I was shooting. No biggy.

Next, we spent some time closer to home on the Duffey Lake Road with Scott Aitken and Doug Tuck ski touring and digging pits once again. These guys have been working the road for 25yrs now. I had a lot of fun with them, and I learned a lot. Thanks!
