Whistler Backcountry Helicopter Snowboarding

Aug 10

http://LosBadicales.com

Early March 2009,
Los Badicales go snowboarding in the Canadian backcountry with whistler Heliskiing
( http://www.whistlerheliskiing.com ).

Also joining us were the Yeoman brothers (Andrew, Adam, and Thomas). Rounding out the group was Wade, our guide for the day.

The craziest part of the day was when we landed on a knife-edge ridge; There was almost no room to gather when we got off the heli. This is documented at minute 4:40 in the video.

I think we estimated 17,000 vertical feet were snowboarded that day.

All of the footage was filmed using my VIO POV1 helmet cam.

I made the soundtrack from 4 different songs. In order, I used;
1. Title track from “For a Few Dollars More”, by Ennio Morricone,
2. Arizona Bay by Soulsavers,
3. Main Title from “A Fistful of Dollars” by Ennio Morricone, and lastly
4. Sixty Seconds to What? from “For a Few Dollars More”, by Ennio Morricone.

Enjoy

Whistler Backcountry Snowboarding, The Sequel: Return to Powder Mountain

Aug 2

**We encourage you to watch in HQ, as it makes for a much better viewing experience**

Early March 2009

Los Badicales join forces with Powder Mountain Catskiing (http://powdermountaincatskiing.com ) once more for 3 days of unforgettable powder.
Not far from whistler Blackcomb, BC, Canada in the Coast Mountain backcountry.

Big thanks to all of the PMC crew including Gordon, Don, and Ken; Our guides Nick, Jeff, and Simon; Our drivers Bailey, Pete, and Steve, and Mike the photographer. Also thanks to Miss Powder Mountain, Kate.

All of the footage was shot using my VIO POV helmet cam.

Sorry for the overexposed part around 3:30…I suppose the sun was too bright for the camera to capture a clear image.

The song is “God moving over the face of the waters” by Moby.

We’re already counting down until next season!
