Last spring I went with the Orage Team to the fabulous Retalack Lodge cat-skiing operation. Check out my powder filled ski trip with JP Auclair, Charley Ager, Michelle Parker and the rest of the crew…

Au printemps dernier j’ai passé quelques jours pour un shooting avec le Team Orage à Retalack. Voici quelques unes des images préférées du voyage avec JP Auclair, Charley Ager, Michelle Parker et le reste de l’équipe…

Retalack is located in the Selkirk mountains of the British-Columbia interior. The Lodge has high environment standards (Four Key Eco-rating) and has some of the best crew in the business.

Here’s a photo selection from the Orage Team trip at Retalack. We had amazing blue skies and still some good powder left even if it was late season. Don’t forget to check out the video about the trip and the very end of this photo blog!

It’s a long trip up but well worth it. Retalack has 3 snowcats coverring 40 square KM, that’s a lot of terrain to yourself!

This is Karl the Gnarl!

A very cool cat, part poet, part cat driver …an interesting character.

Tim and JP check out the snow conditions before we go for our first descent.

Snow is good to go and Charley is stoked!

Creamy!
