Monashee Lodge Revelstoke

Below is an email we recieved from Camille from New York, USA whom Jen and I sledded with on Feb 12, 2006. The photos that follow where taken by Camille:

"Hope you guys are doing well there in Revelstoke? I am settled in and back to reality here in New York since my trip! I wanted to let you guys know how much fun I had that day with both of you and Mr. Mark Shaede. It was very exhilarating and needless to say breathtaking. I just went onto your Website and saw the wonderful story Kevan wrote about the trip we took that day. I also added my comments at the bottom of the page as well.

Below are some photos I had taken of you guys and the scenery during our trip with Mark. The first few are of you guys & Mark before we left. The rest are whiling we are traveling up to the lodge, at the lodge and then the top. Take notice of the last photo....if you look close you can see Jen walking down the hill after she flipped her mobile over. I remember her saying..."I'm going to walk down now". Then Mark made her come back up and ride down herself."

This is where we started our sledding trip and is the west entrance to Boulder Mountain. It is located on the Trans Canada Highway #1 about 5 KM from the city of Revelstoke. In the Background you can see the Great White North Bar and Grill.









This is Jen and I gearing up before our sledding adventure.














This is Mark Shaede the owner of Revelstoke Snowmobile Tours clowning around. We rented the sleds from Mark and he was also our guide.



















Jen, Mark and me relaxing at the cabin at the top of Boulder Mountain after our run up the groomed trails. The trails are not groomed from the cabin to the top of Boulder Mountain. Not a cloud in the sky!











Fantastic view from the top of Boulder Mountain.














Another fantastic view from the top!















Camille posing for the camera on the top of Boulder Mountain.















Jen in the front and me holding up the rear!














I love the shots of the snow covered trees.














Some more shots of the snow covered trees. You can see there are no groomed trails here.














More trees....




















Still more trees.... Do you see a trend here? Maybe someone likes snow covered trees.













And more trees... But wait... That is not a tree but Jen walking down the mountain from her rolled over sled! You can not see me but I am behind her sled trying to roll it over. I realized that she is walking down the hill and has the sled kill key! I can not get the sled down with out it and besides if I ride her sled down how will I get mine down?

I said "Get the f*ck back up here honey!". Jen replied "F*ck you I am not doing this anymore!" after her fourth roll over....

Luckily Mark saved the day by convincing Jen to get back on the sled and ride it down! That she did and all was happy except Jen gave Mark a piece of mind cause he took her down a tree run called Shady lane.....
