Behind the Photo: Skiing the Chief’s North Gully

During the great Arctic snowpocalypse of early 2022, while local pipes froze and roads became luge runs, some optimists continued to find ways to turn challenges into opportunities. New ice routes went up on local waterfalls, snowmobiles became an acceptable grocery store commute vehicle—and Eric Carter, Paul Greenwood, and photographer Chris Christie decided it was time to ski the first known descent of the north gully of Siám’ Smánit, the Stawamus Chief.

“The tent swayed gently in my dreams, like a lullaby. After nearly three months on this expedition, these rhythmic pulses of the fabric walls were infused into my subconscious. Wind spilled off the cliffs, holding the ice out to sea. This meant that tomorrow, Boomer and I would have safe paddling, continuing our circumnavigation of Ellesmere Island in the Canadian high Arctic.”
@jeffholden_ is one of the most iconic skiers in Whistler history. He found lines no one else would see, dropped cliffs no one else would consider. A true artist, seeker, and soul skier, Jeff took a few victories on the 1998-99 International Freeskiing circuit, won the overall championship and, with the help of one of the most-remembered Powder Magazine covers of all time, was launched into ski superstardom. After a some non-ski-realted injuries and the loss of a hugely important mentor and friend, Holdy stepped off the ski-star express and retreated into a path of healing, studying, and discovering how to best mentor young freeskiers to better and more safely express their own passions, while always remembering to “keep the vibe high.”
Last week we posted about our young ski racer friend Bear Yeung and his buddy Landon. They're deep into running their third annual Holiday Tablet and Toy Drive for the kids and BC Children's Hospital, and have announced more locations where anyone in the Vancouver Lower Mainland can donate to the cause. Please note Toys and Tablets need to be brand-new (in packaging) and the fellas are accepting toys for kids of any age.
