The BITS team of split-boarders braved the cold on Saturday and were rewarded with great turns in the sunshine.  Luckily mother nature smiled on us and gave us a brief respite from the cold – amazingly it was only -13C.

I am the (un-elected) Ski Chair for the Calgary section. I have been backcountry skiing and splitboarding for ~10 years, 100 - 150 days total. I have taken AST 1, 2, Av. Risk Management and Operations 1, TNF Winter, and Ski Mountaineering courses. I like to ski new places and have some adventure. See you in the hills...
