Ridiculous

Do they bootpack all the stops?

FWT has a super-winch gives them enough momentum to ride up the mountain

Mix of bootpacking and Heli, but the super remote ones like when they had it on the backside of Revelstoke they had to boot to the top, but got heli'd back to civilization after their runs. Depends how much of a bitch it is and probably the budget of that stop.

Totally outsider opinion- they walk to most of them
