For two weeks, four of the world’s most talented female athletes on snow journeyed into British Columbia, Canada’s interior backcountry for a once in a lifetime experience: RED BULL BACKOUNTRY BOMBSHELLS. All the knee deep powder action – from untouched lines to dangerous mini-avalanches – is right here in this podcast.
Each athlete on the trip is a standout on her own - from KRISTI LESKINEN, recent winner of the Action Sports Award’s “Skier of the Year” and member of the FHM’s 2005 “Hot 100” list, to world extreme skiing champion ANDREA BINNING. Lest we forget, X Games standout MARIE-FRANCE ROY and Swiss sweetheart ANNE-FLORE MARXER, who’s coming off a killer 2005 rookie season. Each girl on her own has a shelf full of trophies, honors galore and has contributed to the progression of women’s action sports. Together they dominated the British Columbia backcountry, hitting off-piste trails, ramping up the level of women’s riding and having a hell of a lot of fun while they did it.
And when they weren’t carving up the B.C. powder, the girls will got to relax and soak up the local offerings including bubbling hot springs, plus all the amenities and fun that the local mountain lodges afford. Not to mention, this was a dream trip for even the most seasoned veterans, including unabated access to Snow Cats, knowledgable local guides and – the icing on the cake – a helicopter!
PODCAST EPISODE DESCRIPTIONS:
Episode 1 of 5: The girls arrive in Monashees and get to know each other. It’s safety training at the lodge, friendly singing in the Snow Cat and serious shredding on the mountain.
Episode 2 of 5: The girls take one day off at Monashees for some relaxing, fun ang games. Then, they move to Selkirk for some more Cat skiing and fresh lines.
Episode 3 of 5: After a mini-avalanche ride down a face in some backcountry sluff, the group is happy to find Kristi Leskinen breathing at the bottom. So, it’s time to go build a jump, then relax back at the safety of the lodge.
Episode 4 of 5: The girls move to Chatter Creek for some more Cat skiing and some sweet pillow lines in the alpines. Great action.
Episode 5 of 5: The trip is wrapped up with the best surprise of all when a helicopter swoops in to grab the girls and whisk them away to some untouched terrain. A treat, even for these pros.
