Snow. Lots of snow: Skiing in the Selkirk Mountains, British Columbia, Canada

Posted on February 25, 2008 by DanAugust 26, 2008

Seven straight days of snow.

What more can you ask for when going on a ski trip? It literally snowed every day, all day long for the entire week that we were up there at Rogers Pass in the Canadian Rockies, and in fact, the entire system dumped three meters of powder on the area over the course of about ten days. That of course made for a great week of skiing and ski photography, and as promised, here are more images from our trip.

Trip Teaser- Backcountry Skiing, Canadian Rockies

Here are a few teaser shots from my recent ski trip to the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. We had five feet of snow fall on us over the course of seven days, which of course meant endless big powder turns and some VERY DEEP conditions!

I used my new Nikon D300 exclusively during the trip with excellent results. The D300 picks up right where the D200 left off, as a rugged, dependable, professional quality camera that is well suited to action and adventure photography. The D300’s new 51 area 3D focus tracking worked well locking onto skiers at 6 frames per second, giving me the ability to shoot impressive bursts of photos, such as the series of 18 shots below.
