Deep in the Monashee mountains of the British Columbia Backcountry, nestled amongst an amphitheater of dream worthy pillow stacks, and perfectly gladded old growth trees, lies the Blanket Glacier Chalet. The rustic Eh Frame is a historic land mark in the Revelstoke area, known for providing shred fans with a “Best Time Of Your Life” experience. Its remote location is only accessible by helicopter reserving its 7 months of glory for those dedicated to the life long sacrifice of searching for deep, bottomless pow. Completely off the grid, the Blanket runs on solar power, a wood burning stove and a man powered, bucket brigade to haul water from the near by stream. If you find yourself amongst the chosen ones to experience this remote splendour you can thank the Shaffer family for welcoming you into their home and guiding you through this magnificent land.

Last winter Marty extended the invitation to a group of friends to come celebrate all that the Blanket has to offer. Lexi duPont, Anna Segal, Greg Hope, and Cory Seeman traveled north to sample the tasty treat of a mid winter British Columbian snow pack and disconnect from the helter-skelter modern world. They were welcomed by over 3 meters of snow and sunshine!!! The winter scene snow globe of a location had been on a constant shaking rhythm of everlasting snowfall all season and these four lucky skiers arrived just in time to harvest the beautiful pillow lines. 5 days of nothing but stacking shots, eating good food prepared by Heidi Shaffer, a sparkly bright light wearing a constant ear to ear grin, resulted in nothing but gut wrenching laughter and heart exploding happiness.
