Invermere from near Revelstoke via the Bugaboos

Date: 5th August 2011

In the last 48 hours I’ve top-landed in the alpine twice, camped high, had a ton of help from friends in Revelstoke and Invermere, and flown the coolest mountain flight I’ve ever had. And sunk out into a cut block, but escaped this time!

I have some wicked photos of flying right through the Bugaboos, a flight I’ve dreamed of for going on 15 years. Never have I flown so deep for so many hours, so stoked! From just south of Revelstoke to Brisco to landing on the beach in Inveremere, where a bunch of friends were having dinner. The Spot log should show the line, I’ll post photos when I get home as all I have is my phone. Today’s weather doesn’t look as good but Swansea launch awaits, want to try and fly home… Fired up!

Incredible, Will. No roads, no support, flying over true western wilderness and big mountain ranges, I am just in awe. Makes X-Alps look like a walk in a downtown park by comparison!
