Panic…. No don't. That's the first response you have when you realise you have a friend lost out on the mountain. Revelstoke B.C isn't just your regular ski resort. This mother of a hill is a free riders wet dream. 5620 feet of vertical fall line with the very best of British Columbia’s famous snowfall almost 18 meters annually and that's what makes this a destination for any skier or rider worth their salt. This mountain is anything but forgiving. The regulars for any of our road trips Matt, Tom, Del and our friend Joe who was visiting from Oz. We were meeting with our friends who call the town of Revelstoke home. These guys are the real deal. Living day to day and meal to meal. As long as they got on the mountain they sleep better than any baby,and they know the mountain like the back of their hand. After a massive day on the hill. Which involves a non stop top to bottom thrashing of our legs we were all ecstatic with the day's conditions. Blue bird day and 30cm of fresh blower pow! So we regroup and decide to do one more. A wee hike into Kokanee bowl which borders the resort boundary and traverses the cat ski area next to the resort. On the chair lift up Tom turns to me and with an exhausted look on his face says he should have done a poo at the base before we went up. No matter. This is our last one we’ll smash it out and Tom would be on the John before we knew it right? Wrong. We all strapped in and buddies up. The buddy system is a go to for us when we ride in groups, 2 people keep each other in line
