That’s a wrap on the 2024/25 season—and what a ride it was. Before we fully shift into summer mode, we sat down with our GM, Dave Pehowich, to look back on some of the standout moments from the winter. From deep March turns to new helicopters and a few exciting things brewing for next year, Dave gives us the inside scoop on what made this season special. Whether you joined us for a day, a week, or you’re just dreaming about your first heli drop—thanks for being part of it!

“I’d like to thank all of our guests for coming this season, and a special thanks to the team here. There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make it a successful season and of course the guides played a big part of that in delivering great skiing but also bringing everybody back home safe at the end of the day.” 

Were there any new faces on the guiding team this season? 

We had a 100 percent return rate of our guides this year. The only new faces that we had were within our support team, so reservations and guest services, but it seems like guides once they get into Selkirk Tangiers, they don’t want to leave.

Were there any behind-the-scenes moments that were big wins for this season? 

Yeah, one thing that happened this off-season is that we switched helicopter companies and we moved to Wildcat Helicopters. That was a huge behind-the-scenes success for us. Not only did we get updated aircrafts, but we received a very experienced pilot team and they integrated really well with our guiding team.

How were the snow conditions and weather throughout the season? 

We had a great start to the season. We had good accumulations of snow in December and early January, so it led to a very good foundation for the base and kind of set the tone for the rest of the season. After that, February was mostly dry with intermittent snow, however we had low avalanche hazard and good weather, so we really were able to explore large portions of our tenure.

Was there a particular weather window that really delivered this season? 

For me what I would say is one of the highlights would be mid-March. We received a pretty good storm with cold temperatures, and I was able to guide for a few days and it was some of the best skiing of the season, still skiing the trees, and it was pretty blower.

What was a memorable moment from this season? 

The 24/25 season was memorable for me with a couple of guided trips I did with longtime guests. It’s always special to get that connection with the guests and I also like connecting with the guides and working as part of the guiding team.

What feedback did you hear from guests this season? 

Most often feedback that I received from our guests is the friendliness and expertise of our guides and the overall expanse of our terrain and diversity. We’re able to ski on warm days up high in the alpine and still have blower powder conditions, and on stormy days we have skiing close to Revelstoke, and pretty unreal glade skiing. 

What are you most excited about for next season? 

I’m most excited about a new project that we have in the works. We’re working on a remote lodge north of town, which will be set up for small, private groups, so I’m really excited about getting that off the ground this summer and have that product available for next winter.  

Any final words? 

There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make it a successful season, and thanks everyone for a great season!
