Third day's a charm

Though our bodies and legs were a bit thrashed by day three (our final day with Great Canadian Heli), it was by far our best out in the zone.

Some new clients arrived last night and ability was too divided in house to keep the heli’s together so they split, and our heli with three strong groups was able to really focus in on some great, featured terrain. Snow quality wasn’t nearly as good as our first day, but was more similar to the stuff we get on a good day in Cali, so the four of us were comfortable and happy. Lots of steep pitches with small drops – the whole crew logged a decent amount of hang time. We got a bit of a bad reputation for being terrain hogs, but all had huge smiles on our faces at lunch and by the end of the day were fried and stoked. The day was dominated by the ladies, guide Al(lison) & pilot Cathy – many thanks to for getting us up and down on some great stuff – an amazing way to end this chapter of the trip.
