Mountain Life: Selkirk Style
by Craig Dostie
"Up slow, down fast, this mountain life was pretty damn fun, and we wouldn't change it for anything. Except, possibly, to start the week all over again right now!"
Doing Selkirk Mt. Experience the easy way
by Mike Adrian
"It is Thursday, the second to last night of our week at Selkirk Mountain Experience (SME). We have just finished another great meal at the end of an epic day of powder skiing under blue skies, and although we have been here nearly a week it is difficult for us to comprehend all that we have experienced. Magical. That is the best word to describe something that we all agree has been incredible, yet has been so comprehensive and unique that it is hard to pin down."
Profile: Reudi Beglinger
by Craig Dostie
"Reudi knows the satisfaction that comes from doing multiple peaks and descents in a day. Most ski guides simply look for the great ski runs. Reudi insists on bagging and skiing from the peaks. Indeed, the consistent smile he wears on every peak, no matter how hard the spindrift might blow in his face, is evidence enough that Reudi is totally at home whenever he stands atop a mountain. As a guide, Reudi has made it his job to insist on sharing that."

As Good as it Gets - The 40 best places to make tracks this winter.
If you're a backcountry powderhead who ranks the ascents right up there with the descents (don't laugh, people do), then you will cherish the ski mountaineering at B.C.'s Selkirk Mountain Experience. They offer guided backcountry touring for advanced skiers from a remote lodge near the Durrand Glacier (50 kilometres northeast of Revelstoke). This is sublime terrain - think upper slopes of Rogers Pass - that would be next to impossible to get to on your own. A new day, a new adventure led by a guide who knows where the good stuff is. Most day tours (about seven hours) incorporate two peaks and 6,000 vertical feet of skiing.

Pleasure and Pain
By Michael Miracle
... But if my muscles are incensed, my brain is euphoric. The peaks of British Columbia's Selkirk range tower all around us. The air is as clean as any I've ever breathed. It's a moment of contrast for me: I'm profoundly in pain and achingly happy...
