Helicat Canada-Selkirk Wilderness

[Music Playing] Drew Wittstock: I am Drew Wittstock, we are skiing at Selkirk wilderness in British Columbia. Selkirk wilderness is a Cat skiing operation in here and it's got of bunch of sweet terrain and a bunch of wicked people around in it and just a great place to come Cat skiing [Music Playing] Joel Jacques: The amazing thing about Selkirk is that, this is the first Cat skiing operation in the world. So it feels so really special to be apart of this operation and see the longevity and the staff. Jason Rempel: Back in 75 Allan Drury he had this dream of starting destination Cat skiing back in the back Country Inn. He bought himself a Bromyard cat and started going out into the mountains and basically what you see is what he's created. PY Leblanc: On the skiing over here, it was still in the -- what I would say is that skiing is very accessible, is very friendly and there's lots of little features to play with. [Music Playing] Jason Rempel: The area here is great, it's got lots of alpine features with speckled nice open trees and then great steep, deep trees and watching North facing South, it's a great variety of terrain. [Music Playing] Darryn Shewchuk: One of the great things about Cat skiing that it's a very social experience you with a group of twelve people and a Cat and after every run, you have got a chance to talk about your turns and how great they were and it's absolutely the most amazing experience and if you are the type of person that loves skiing and you've had a powder day may be at a resort and you enjoyed that. Well, the experience in the back country is ten times beyond that. [Music Playing] Joel Jacques: It's really tight-knit group that works here and they are all very friendly and they make your stay really enjoyable and then, obviously the terrain they take you to such good terrain, it challenges your ability and it's just a blast. [Music Playing] Drew Wittstock:: Feels like a big family party. It's kind of like with all your long lost relatives. You just sit in there and have a big huge family dinner and everyone is trying to entertain each other and everyone is having a great time, it's awesome. It's like you are home for thanksgiving every single night. [Music Playing]
