Fence headcanons (part 4):

- Rather than Seiji, it’s Nicholas who has quiet footsteps. His fencing footwork might need some improvement, but outside of the piste he has very light and quiet steps. It startles Seiji sometimes how Nicholas can appear out of nowhere.

- After Seiji’s parents get to know Nicholas, Seiji’s dad has a picture of him as his phone background. Seiji is both appalled and yet endeared when he finds out.

- The iconic bowl haircut is an Asian rite of passage. I firmly believe that Seiji would’ve had one growing up.

- Nicholas keeps a list on his phone of all the advanced vocabulary that Seiji says to him—including both the phrase Seiji said to him and the definition of the word.

Honor was Found in the Blemish

A big part of being a work of art that it doesn't often talk about is insecurity, and so here is a rather typical feel-good love letter to its blemishes that hopefully helps other objects and the people who own those objects.

It tastes pretty bad

Almost none of its owners and r@pists have ever enjoyed it throwing up. They like the concept, but the reality of it was an overall negative. it thought of training itself to stop, but being forced to gag greatly and frequently is one of the quickest ways to trigger it into a panic attack and losing that wasn't acceptable. So for a time it was starved so it could dry heave instead, but this was untenable when it was often caged to be used for days by its owner and it had a lot of nutritional needs that came with training in combat sports.

But it turns out that most of the grossness was mitigated if what it ejected was largely liquid, and so meal replacement drinks became a solution. it chose strawberry, its least favorite flavor, and the pink has turned out to be a consensus hit. Nearly everyone who's seen it thinks the light pink contents of its guts are more adorable than gross.

There's some acquired tastes

One of its r@pists was hot.

Two nights ago, it showered somewhere that reminded it of this time it showered with her, after we left a pool party. it brought two rubber whales. She put it on its knees, the tip of her cock on the center of its tongue angled up at her, and playfully said "I'm making a slip n' slide" and produced a river of piss down its tongue and throat. She r@ped it, and then we played with the rubber whales, filling a bowl of water and sucking the water into the whales and spraying each other with it, ducking and weaving to avoid being hit. She said if she'd known it had a game like this prepared she would've saved her piss for her whale.

Her muscles rolled through her core and arms when she squatted, avoiding a headshot, and the bit of fat hanging from her arms would jiggle in a way that was even hotter than her tits jiggling. It's the fact that all of those parts of her are active when she violates it, and if she did it with a mirror it's sure it would find her back muscles hot too.

it initially didn't find her hot and it prided itself on how helpful that was to enjoying our time together. But she had a wonderful body and that grew on it, the way that body shifted and rumbled beneath her skin when she used it and didn't let it enjoy itself became a great source of arousal.

it felt like it was less of an object, to indulge in those chills deep within it when it admired her body when it should work on making its life worse and enjoying things less, and that's without the graysexual urge to feel insecure about one's place on the a-spectrum whenever she thinks someone is hot. But over time it realized how powerful those feelings were in motivating it to put itself in situations it wasn't okay with for her, conditioning itself to put itself at risk for her. And now thinking about it brings its body to an awful edge it can't help but appreciate and be proud of.

Some bugs are features for fans to discover

Wavedashing in Super Smash Bros. Melee was a blemish. Hitfalling in Rivals of Aether was a blemish. Strafejumping in Quake was a blemish. All made into the distinguishing factor that made these works brilliant.

Your apparent shortcomings can sometimes, not always, be unique sources of beauty. With years of practice it's become very adept at either reinterpreting or tackling these to turn them into something worthwhile and it is proud of these sources of insecurity.

This isn't its only strategy, there are others. Understanding the futility of comparing your journey to others, seeing how your progress is enough, letting yourself forgive once others have, understanding that some of your self-doubts and self-esteem issues are actually hot and adorable, and so on.

But there is honor and beauty to be found in your insecurities and finding that is a deeply rewarding skill you can develop. Try it some time and see if fewer of your insecurities obstruct your path to self-actualization. 💖💝💖

Restless far from a Wine Dark sea - Day 21 nausea

When the medication makes Fogal sick, Logan takes the opportunity to break the merman into the habit of being touched by medical staff. The merman seems to quite enjoy being washed

ie obligatory wash your whumpees

Tw vomit, dissociation, captivity, medical whump, injury, Dead Dove Jewish vampiric whumpee, interrorgation mention, semi-consentual non-sexual touch

RestlessffaWDs' timeline is going off piste for @medwhumpmay

This one is quite close to the start of Nathaniel's captivity, while he is still recovering from blood loss but not dying

masterlist

≪ °❈° ≫

Fogal was breathing carefully, blinking strangely. Nausea perhaps.

“The medication we gave you earlier may make you feel sick.” Logan knew his co-antropologist, Elias, would have probably picked up on the same signs as he had, but it was worth giving them an extra heads up, “If you feel like you are going to vomit, let me know and I can get probably get a pail.”

The merman jerked his head into a frantic nod. 

Unfortunately, the movement was too much. He turned pale and spewed out a stream of watery vomit directly down his chest.

Logan pushed back his chair a little, and gave the camera by the bed a quick signal, hoping for medical guidance. Dr Orange instructed his staff swiftly through the comms.

“Right Fogal, the nurse is just going to get you a sick bowl, and then we will see about getting you cleaned up. You’re ok, and we will look after you…” Logan reassured. Fogal screwed his eyes shut, visibly tamping down the nausea. A nurse came in to hand him a bucket.

“Hmm!” Fogal gave a desperate exclamation as another wave of nausea hit, and the nurse swiftly positioned the bucket as the sick sea monster emptied his stomach. 

-Wash him to get him used to people- Logan signed in ASL to the camera while the merman was preoccupied.

“As Logan says, we had planned to break him into the idea of being touched more frequently through washing. He probably wants to be clean, so may be inclined to allow the touch? I wouldn’t advise trying to proceed with the planned interrogation either way.”

“If the nurse is prepared, we will go ahead. Logan can advise on aggression.” The coordinator decided. Logan flashed an affirmative signal to the camera to agree.

The merman hung above the bucket miserably, before spitting and settling back against his pillows.

-Sorry- his hand twitched out a sign.

“It's ok, these things happen. It is sometimes a side effect of some of the medicine we are giving you to help you recover from the blood loss. Do you think you will be sick again?” -Dizzy- he signed. Logan was glad they had taught him some medical signs with the sea monster’s rising non-verbal tendencies in the face of uncomfortable situations. Fogal took a few deep breaths before managing to speak, “I don’t think I will be sick again.”

“Ok. If you do feel sick, can you sign -sick-?”

The merman exhaustedly mimicked the sign.

“We want to get you cleaned up. But the nurse is going to have to touch your body to give you a -wash- with a cloth,” Logan signed along with the new word, “you can not be aggressive towards the nurse.”

-Wash. Please.- Fogal signed, “I will be good.” he promised.

Logan gave him a long considering look that made the sea monster shrink into deference. He had resisted being touched by his captors thus far, for understandable reasons, but Logan thought he would accept it this time. Though not without some anxiety.

“If you are too uncomfortable and need to -pause- tell us to -pause-.” Logan hadn’t given the merman a word for ‘stop’, as ‘pause’ was more appropriate for someone who didn’t really have autonomy.

“I am ready.” The nurse - Logan thought his name might be Brunel - spoke over the comms

“Alright. The nurse will wash you.” Logan beckoned to the door, and the nurse re-entered, wheeling a little trolly with two bowls and a few towels. 

“Ok. We’ll go slow, and we can take a break if you need,” Logan reassured, more to indicate to the nurse the need to take precautions than to the merman himself.

“Ok, we are going to start by lifting away this nasty sheet…”  The nurse kept his hands away from Fogal’s face as he flicked the sheet off his body. The merman averted his eyes from his own body. “...and I am just going to put a towel over you for privacy.” The nurse laid a small towel over the sea monster's lap. Thankfully it covered where the urinary catheter snaked into Fogal’s body. Logan doubted Fogal knew what a catheter was and today was not the day for explaining such things.

“I am going to pat most of it off your body with this towel, ok?” The nurse asked. Fogal looked at him warily, posture as taught as a bowstring, bracing for human touch to come. Finally, he jammed his chin into his shoulder as an unhappy consent.

The nurse cautiously laid down a towel on his chest and tail, and sopped up the worst of the vomit. It was nearly clear, no sign of the recent bloody meal that had restored Fogal to health, and thankfully virtually odourless. 

“Disgust and shame. No aggression.” Elias reassured the nurse. 

“Do you still feel nauseous or dizzy Fogal?” Logan checked in with the merman. 

Fogal pinched his fingers together in the universal sign for ‘a little’, 

“Not sick again,” he said quietly.

“Start with the right arm, then the stomach, then do his lap. That way it is escalating the sensitivity of the area. And if he can cope with his crotch being washed without violence, then it is hopeful you can wash his face without being bitten. Presuming he has the same modesty standards as an average human.” Elias recommended.

Water plinked into the bowl as the nurse soaked a washcloth and wrung most of the water out. The merman opened his eyes to stare at the liquid, transfixed.

“I am just going to wipe your arm with the cloth now Fogal…”

The nurse brought the cloth over slowly, and set it to the sea monster’s skin. Fogal tracked the movement. The merman had never let anyone touch him for more than a moment.

The damp fabric touched him, and something unravelled in the merman.

“He seems to actually quite like it.” Elias sounded pleased. 

Logan twitched the smallest sign of agreement to the camera. The nurse’s body language hinted at relief at the therapist’s words, though the man tried to mask his body language from their captive.

Fogal closed his eyes as the nurse washed his arm, gently sweeping around the IV port in his arm. He didn’t try to grab, and remained docile at the touch.

“I am going to wash your tummy next…” the nurse rinsed his cloth in one bowl, then re-wetted it with clean soapy water. 

Fogal watched the water with anticipation, but it was more with wondrous desire than fear. The merman allowed him to touch the sensitive skin of his stomach, with little sign of being uncomfortable at the touch. 

“I am going to move down to wash your lap and your crotch. It won’t hurt, and you will feel cleaner afterwards.” 

Fogal glanced at Logan, probably unhappy that the interrogator was present for the washing of his intimate region. Logan stepped around the nurse so that he could watch the merman closely without actually being able to see his crotch. Fogel looked embarrassed but grateful at the move, even though it left Logan looming over his bound form. He wouldn’t meet Logan’s eyes, but allowed himself to be washed. 

“He is being very tolerant!” Elias gushed.

The nurse washed him quickly with minimal fuss, and Fogal clenched his fingers into the towel once it was returned. 

“I think we can try his face. But you should hold him by the hair to make sure he doesn't lunge, and ball the cloth up so if he does bite it’ll just be the cloth and not your fingers…”

“Fogal, you have been very tolerant so far, I am very impressed.” Logan spoke neutrality. Fogal flicked his eyes in embarrassment at the meagre praise. “The nurse is going to put his hand on your head so you can’t bite him while he washes your face. He won’t yank your hair unless you try to lunge at him. He will be gentle.”

-Yes. Wash.- Fogal signed. Logan took his stunted language to mean he was either consenting to his head being held, or a general comment on his attitude to being washed.

The nurse picked up a fresh towelette and wetted it, before reaching out to grab a fistful of the merman’s hair. Fogal bowed his head obligingly.

The nurse gently stroked the side of the merman’s face with the wet flannel. Fogal didn’t become aggressive at the action, instead closing his eyes and slowly leaning into the touch. The nurse swiped over his eyes, and Fogal exhaled in a way that could only be described as a snuffle.

“Very happy.” Elais narrated, “keep a hold of his hair just in case.”

“I am just going to wipe your mouth. Do not bite me.” The nurse requested. 

Cautiously, the nurse moved the wadded up towelette over the sea monster’s mouth, hand firmly in hair. Fogal pushed gently into the touch again, and water trickled down his chin. 

Logan had only seen him look so blissed out when he was on a copious quantity of drugs. Maybe there was some instinctual calming effect of water to the mer?

“Lovely.” The nurse praised, “I am going to do your chest next. I’m going to remove these.” He pointed to the electrodes on Fogal’s chest, “They are just a bit sticky so might pull at your skin, but it won’t hurt.” The nurse explained. Fogal didn’t respond, just watched him with big hazed-out eyes.

“Go for it. He seems very dissociated, but keep communicating with him, and don’t trust him to not be aggressive.”

The nurse gingerly removed the shorted-out heart monitors from his chest, and Fogal flinched in surprise as the sticker came off.

“What’s that?” he asked.

“It is a heart monitor,” Logan told him, “they let us monitor your health. Did it hurt coming off?” 

-No. Pain.- Fogal signed, “I just… wasn’t expecting it.” He admitted, seemingly aware and embarrassed about his dissociative state.

“I am sure the water is very nice when you are feeling a bit ill.” Logan spoke reasonably, hoping to lull him back into the calm state.

“Yes… It is most agreeable.” Fogal said stiffly. 

“Can the nurse take the other monitors off, or do you need a -pause-?”

“You can carry on. Sorry I interrupted.” Fogal apologised to the nurse, who gave him an understanding smile and leaned over to carefully remove the rest of the electrodes.

Fogal’s expression melted a bit as the nurse rinsed his cloth again, and brought it back to his skin. Soon he had spaced out again. He didn’t even mind as fresh electrodes were replaced on his chest. The nurse re-washed his belly, then his lap. Fogal wiggled his fingers as the cloth wiped past them.

“That’s us done Fogal, you’re all clean now,” the nurse said softly.

Can you rate the amount of pain you are in using the numbers I gave you?

-5-

“Five? It is definitely prevalent in your mind, but you can still think clearly?”

“Yeah…” Fogal breathed out.

“Do you think you can go to sleep without the help of medication?”

Fogal looked at him, then nodded.

“Ok… We will put an oxygen mask on you, and if you aren't asleep within 5 minutes we will give you something to help you sleep.”

The merman was asleep within moments of the 02 mask being put on.

a/n Will proof read this on the weekend too sleepy, and clean the abrupt ending. This chapter was a massive.

It is worth noting that Fogal is being taught a simple set of custom signs that can be done while his hands are restrained to the bed. As they are just a collection of words, I write them -like this. No. speak.- as they are not in sentences. This is similar to the signing system of Makaton, which is designed to be used by people to aid/accompany speech. 

Logan sometimes uses one-handed ASL to communicate with the interrogation team (Elias can understand it), which is a full language with proper grammar rules, so I write it as full sentences without the . between every word. Originally he was going to type into an ipad, but ASL is much faster than typing. Nathaniel doesn't know ASL, so would be nervous to see Logan clandestinely signing.

En juillet, j'ai quitté tumblr (4)

22 juillet J'ai remonté la plage avec ma chérie et observé les tableaux de saison. J'ai temporisé dans la rue pour éviter la discussion avec la voisine bavarde. J'ai découvert le nom de l'étoile de mer à 11 branches que Cadette avait observée à Colera : un crachat d'amiral. J'ai préparé une belle salade d'été. J'ai lu Au bonheur des titres, de Thierry Paquot. J'ai mangé une gaufre.

23 juillet J'ai dormi dans le canapé pour laisser ma chérie malade dormir tranquille. Je me suis fait piquer par un moustique. La supérette bio était fermée. J'ai fait les courses dans la grande surface où je n'aime pas aller. J'ai survolu Faire la fête, sociologie de la joie, de Philippe Steiner. J'ai préparé ma première focaccia et j'ai attentivement observée toute sa cuisson. J'ai préparé quatre petits pâtons de pizza. Nous avons retrouvé Olivier et Virginie sur le front de mer. J'ai trouvé que certains mots ne sonnaient pas justes.

24 juillet J'ai clarifié un doublon de rendez-vous chez le dentiste. Dans la rue, la guerre du stationnement au plus près de sa location de vacances a fait rage. J'ai bien réussi une petite pizza courgettes-menthe. J'ai accompagné les filles dans les magasins. J'étais en mission secrète de repérage. J'ai acheté trois T-shirts. J'ai appelé ma mère pour la sainte Christine et je savais qu'elle savait que je ne l'appelais pas pour ça. J'ai fait sur commande un petit tofu aux lentilles plutôt réussi. De randonnée en résidence, je le suis égaré sur internet. J'ai bidouillé du code HTML à tâtons, sans dégâts apparents, ni résultats (encore) visibles. (Junior a commencé sa partie de jeux en ligne à minuit moins le quart.) Je me suis endormi bercé par le bruit des vagues.

25 juillet J'ai laissé en plan la caisse automatique, qui ne voulait pas lire les codes-barres. J'ai étendu et plié deux tournées de linge. J'ai survolu Les Formes brèves, d'Alain Montandon. Je n'ai pas résisté à l'appel de la sieste. J'ai complètement oublié que je voulais faire une nouvelle tentative de focaccia. J'ai rêvé de Jura suisse.

26 juillet J'ai passé la matinée sur des sites de revues universitaires traitant de divers rapports textes/images. J'ai tranché dans la chair ferme de deux grosses tomates. Je n'ai rien trouvé chez le libraire. J'ai attendu Junior à l'ombre de la cathédrale, sur la rampe d'accès, nouvelle pièce à ajouter à ma collection de lieux d'attente en pleine conscience. J'ai acheté d'impulsion six pasteis de nata en passant devant la boutique. Un commanditaire m'a appelé pour me donner du boulot avant ses vacances. On est arrivé pile à l'heure pour le train de la chérie de Junior. Une piste inoccupée était ouverte spécialement pour moi à la station-service parmi de nombreuses files de bagnoles.

27 juillet J'ai maladroitement tenté de me suicider à deux reprises dans mes rêves : une première fois en allant me noyer en mer après avoir dérivé nu allongé sur un paddle au large de la plage ; une seconde, dans ma chambre d'adolescent, après avoir avalé au petit matin un comprimé létal prescrit comme un médicament, échouant pour diverses raisons à rédiger ma lettre d'adieu : pas de feuilles A4 vierges pour écrire, mauvais choix des mots destinés à mes parents, etc. Dans les deux cas, j'en suis sorti vivant. J'ai fait mon petit sac pour notre séjour charentais. J'ai calé sur le gros poke-bowl. J'ai retrouvé la ville et mes impressions mitigées. J'ai mobilisé deux libraires pour chercher un bouquin sur leurs rayons. C'est ma chérie qui l'a trouvé. J'ai fait un arrêt dans l'autre librairie, bien plus accueillante. J'ai fait un détour par les petites rues. J'ai lu Déplacer le silence de Etel Adnan. On a dormi sur un lit de fortune dans le salon de Cadette.

So, you can make all kinds of valid criticisms of Taylor Swift, starting with the fact that a billion dollars is not something that any single person should have.

But the people booing her at the Super Bowl-and cheering the R*pist In Chief-weren't doing it for any of that.

They were enjoying publicly harassing and humiliating a woman for the crime of being a successful and outspoken woman. For not "knowing her place."

And then said R*pist In Chief applauded it, and encouraged more of it.

So I'm 100% with her.

The Eras Tour has now officially ended. ❤

The Ultimate Backcountry Ski Guide in Revelstoke: Everything You Need to Know

If you’re seeking the thrill of untouched powder, pristine backcountry landscapes, and adventure-filled skiing experiences, a backcountry ski guide in Revelstoke is your ticket to unforgettable mountain explorations. Revelstoke, located in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, is renowned for its world-class skiing terrain, making it a perfect destination for those looking to escape the crowded slopes and embrace the untouched beauty of the backcountry.

Whether you’re a seasoned skier or someone looking to experience backcountry skiing for the first time, having a knowledgeable guide can make all the difference. In this article, we will walk you through everything you need to know about hiring a backcountry ski guide in Revelstoke, why it's important, and how to make the most of your experience.

Why Choose a Backcountry Ski Guide in Revelstoke?

Revelstoke: A Backcountry Skiing Paradise

Revelstoke is a hidden gem for backcountry skiing enthusiasts. With over 10,000 acres of skiable terrain, it offers diverse options for skiers of all levels. From steep chutes and expansive alpine bowls to deep, powdery glades, Revelstoke has it all. But with its vastness comes the challenge of navigating safely and effectively.

A backcountry ski guide in Revelstoke brings local knowledge, expertise, and experience that ensure you not only get to explore the best terrain but also stay safe while doing so. It’s easy to get lost or overwhelmed in such a vast area without a guide, especially with ever-changing weather conditions and avalanche risks. That’s where an experienced guide steps in.

Safety First: The Role of a Backcountry Ski Guide

Backcountry skiing is inherently riskier than skiing at a resort. Avalanche risks, changing weather conditions, and the remote nature of the terrain all require advanced skills and preparation. A backcountry ski guide in Revelstoke is not just a tour leader—they are trained in avalanche safety, navigation, first aid, and mountain rescue. They know the terrain intimately and can assess avalanche conditions in real-time, making your safety their top priority.

By hiring a professional guide, you can relax and enjoy your skiing experience without having to worry about the complexities of backcountry travel. Guides carry the latest gear for avalanche safety, such as transceivers, probes, and shovels, and are always prepared for the unexpected.

What to Expect When You Hire a Backcountry Ski Guide in Revelstoke

Customized Experience for All Skill Levels

One of the biggest benefits of hiring a backcountry ski guide in Revelstoke is that they tailor the experience to your skill level. Whether you're a beginner looking for an introduction to backcountry skiing or an expert skier seeking adrenaline-pumping descents, guides will work with you to design a day that matches your experience and aspirations.

Beginner-Friendly Tours

If you're new to backcountry skiing, you may be wondering whether the terrain is suitable for you. Don’t worry! A backcountry ski guide in Revelstoke will take you on a gentle, safe route where you can learn the basics of skiing off-piste terrain. You’ll get an introduction to avalanche safety, terrain assessment, and navigation while being led on a tour that’s suited to your pace.

Expert-Level Adventures

For more experienced skiers, Revelstoke offers some of the most challenging backcountry terrain in the world. From steep, technical descents to massive alpine bowls, your guide will lead you through the best terrain suited to your abilities. They can help you push your boundaries while ensuring that you’re skiing in a safe, controlled environment.

Professionalism and Local Expertise

A backcountry ski guide in Revelstoke isn’t just someone who knows how to ski—they are local experts with intimate knowledge of the area. Their understanding of the terrain, the weather patterns, and seasonal changes gives you the assurance that you're in good hands.

Guides can also teach you important skills like how to assess avalanche risks, navigate using a map and compass, and properly use avalanche safety equipment. This not only enhances your experience in Revelstoke but also equips you with valuable skills for future backcountry adventures.

The Best Time to Go Skiing in Revelstoke

Backcountry skiing in Revelstoke is a year-round activity, but the prime season for powder skiing typically runs from December through April. During this time, Revelstoke receives consistent snowfall, creating perfect conditions for skiing and snowboarding. By hiring a backcountry ski guide in Revelstoke during the winter months, you can ensure you're hitting the mountain at its best.

If you're looking for less crowded terrain and better visibility, spring skiing in April is also a great option. The days are longer, and the weather is typically more stable. However, it's important to note that avalanche conditions can change rapidly, so hiring a guide is crucial to help assess conditions.

What to Pack for a Backcountry Ski Tour

Before heading out, it's important to ensure you're properly equipped for your backcountry adventure. A backcountry ski guide in Revelstoke will provide you with essential equipment like avalanche transceivers, probes, and shovels. However, you'll still need to bring some of your personal gear. Here's a checklist to help you prepare for your ski tour:

Skis or Splitboard: Ensure your equipment is suitable for the backcountry. If you don’t have the right gear, your guide can typically assist you with rentals.

Avalanche Safety Gear: Your guide will provide avalanche safety gear, but make sure you're comfortable using it.

Backpack: A small pack to carry essentials such as water, food, extra layers, and first-aid supplies.

Clothing: Dress in layers to stay warm and dry. Be sure to have moisture-wicking, breathable clothing to avoid overheating.

Ski Goggles and Sunglasses: Protect your eyes from the intense mountain sun, especially at higher altitudes.

Helmet: Essential for protecting your head while skiing in rugged, unfamiliar terrain.

By coming prepared, you'll be able to fully enjoy the experience, knowing you're ready for whatever the mountains have to offer.

The Benefits of Hiring a Backcountry Ski Guide in Revelstoke

Avoid Crowded Slopes

One of the most significant advantages of choosing a backcountry ski guide in Revelstoke is the ability to escape the crowded resort slopes. Revelstoke is home to some of the most remote, pristine backcountry terrain in North America. By venturing off the beaten path, you’ll experience the thrill of carving fresh powder away from the masses.

Whether you're seeking solitude or want to explore the untouched beauty of nature, a backcountry guide ensures you get the most out of your adventure.

Enhance Your Skiing Skills

Backcountry skiing requires a different set of skills compared to resort skiing. A backcountry ski guide in Revelstoke can help you hone your skills, including skiing in variable conditions, navigating through dense forests, and handling steep terrain. They’ll also provide valuable tips on how to make the most of your backcountry equipment, such as skins, splitboards, and avalanche transceivers.

If you’re looking to advance your skiing skills and take your technique to the next level, hiring a guide will give you access to personalized feedback and instruction.

A Day of Adventure with a Local Expert

When you hire a backcountry ski guide in Revelstoke, you’re not just getting someone to show you the best runs—you’re gaining a local friend and expert who can tell you about the region’s history, ecology, and culture. Guides can share interesting facts about the surrounding area, the wildlife, and the natural beauty of Revelstoke, making your experience even more enriching.

Powder Mountain Cat Skiing in BC: What to Expect

Imagine being surrounded by untouched snow, towering trees, and the thrill of adventure in one of Canada’s most breathtaking winter destinations. Welcome to Powder Mountain Cat Skiing in BC, the ultimate skiing experience for those who crave the rush of gliding through pristine powder. With a prime location in British Columbia, Powder Mountain offers a unique way to enjoy the backcountry, away from the crowded ski resorts. If you’re planning your winter adventure for December 2025, here’s everything you need to know about this incredible experience.

What is Cat Skiing?

Cat skiing is a form of backcountry skiing that uses a snowcat to transport skiers and snowboarders up the mountain. Unlike traditional skiing at resorts, cat skiing gives you access to untouched terrain, deep powder, and exclusive slopes. Powder Mountain in BC has perfected this art, offering a blend of adventure, comfort, and safety for skiers of all levels.

Why Choose Powder Mountain Cat Skiing in BC?

1. Perfect Location Powder Mountain is nestled in the heart of British Columbia, a province renowned for its stunning landscapes and epic snowfall. The mountain’s proximity to Whistler and Vancouver makes it easily accessible for both locals and international visitors.

2. Incredible Snow Quality BC is famous for its powder snow, and Powder Mountain is no exception. With an average snowfall of over 10 meters annually, you can expect soft, fluffy snow that’s a dream to ski on. December 2025 is expected to bring fresh snow, making it an ideal time for your visit.

3. Exclusive Terrain Powder Mountain offers over 4,300 acres of skiable terrain, ranging from open bowls to tree-lined runs. Each day, the snowcat takes you to new and untouched areas, ensuring a unique adventure every time.

What to Expect at Powder Mountain Cat Skiing

1. A Typical Day of Cat Skiing Your day begins early, with a hearty breakfast at the lodge. After a safety briefing and gear check, you’ll board the snowcat with your group and guide. Each run offers a new thrill, with breathtaking views and exhilarating descents. The day ends with après-ski back at the lodge, where you can relax and share stories of your adventure.

2. Safety First Powder Mountain prioritizes safety. All guides are certified professionals with extensive experience in avalanche safety and first aid. You’ll also receive a safety kit, including an avalanche transceiver, probe, and shovel, along with a quick training session on how to use them.

3. Small Group Experience One of the best things about cat skiing at Powder Mountain is the small group size. With only 12 skiers or snowboarders per snowcat, you’ll enjoy a personalized experience without feeling rushed or crowded.

Who Can Enjoy Powder Mountain Cat Skiing?

Cat skiing at Powder Mountain is designed for intermediate to advanced skiers and snowboarders. If you’re comfortable navigating off-piste terrain and love powder, this adventure is perfect for you. For those new to backcountry skiing, Powder Mountain offers guided programs to help you build confidence.

When to Visit Powder Mountain: December 2025

December is one of the best times to experience Powder Mountain. The season’s early snowfall provides a fresh blanket of powder, while the festive atmosphere adds an extra layer of excitement. Bookings for December 2025 are already filling up, so plan your trip early to secure your spot.

Tips for Your Powder Mountain Adventure

1. Gear Up Properly Bring skis or a snowboard designed for powder, as they perform better in deep snow. Powder Mountain also offers high-quality rental gear if you need it.

2. Dress in Layers The weather in BC can change quickly. Layer your clothing to stay warm and comfortable throughout the day. Don’t forget waterproof and breathable outerwear.

3. Stay Hydrated and Fueled Cat skiing is physically demanding. Carry a water bottle and energy snacks to stay hydrated and energized during your runs.

4. Listen to Your Guide Your guide is there to ensure your safety and enjoyment. Follow their instructions, especially when navigating challenging terrain.

Accommodation and Amenities

Powder Mountain offers cozy accommodations at its on-site lodge, complete with warm fireplaces, comfortable beds, and delicious meals. For those looking for a luxurious stay, nearby Whistler offers world-class resorts and amenities.

Why Powder Mountain Stands Out

1. Eco-Friendly Practices Powder Mountain is committed to sustainability. From minimizing environmental impact to supporting local communities, they ensure that your adventure aligns with eco-friendly values.

2. Exceptional Guides The guides at Powder Mountain are passionate about skiing and the backcountry. Their knowledge and enthusiasm make your experience both safe and unforgettable.

3. Memorable Après-Ski After a day on the slopes, unwind with delicious food and drinks at the lodge. The camaraderie and shared stories make it a highlight of your trip.

How to Book Your Cat Skiing Adventure

Booking your Powder Mountain experience is easy. Visit their official website, choose your preferred dates, and select from their packages. December 2024 is expected to be a busy month, so don’t wait too long to make your reservation.

FAQs About Powder Mountain Cat Skiing

1. Do I need backcountry skiing experience? No, but you should be an intermediate or advanced skier or snowboarder comfortable with off-piste terrain.

2. What’s included in the package? Packages typically include transportation by snowcat, a professional guide, safety gear, and some meals. Check the specific details when booking.

3. How much does it cost? Prices vary depending on the package and season. Expect to pay between $500 and $800 per person for a full day of cat skiing.

4. Can I bring my own group? Yes, Powder Mountain offers private snowcat bookings, perfect for families or friends who want an exclusive experience.

Powder Mountain Cat Skiing in BC is more than just a skiing trip—it’s an adventure of a lifetime.

je me sens vidée de toute substance et je ne trouve plus de façon de m’alimenter en matière de plaisir et de bonheur au quotidien. Je viens d’avoir 24 ans, 24 ans de trop et cela me rend monstrueusement triste. En fait, je me rends compte que plus rien ne peut rendre l’ensemble magique et merveilleux, car tout a perdu en valeur et cela ne fait que se dégrader avec le temps. au fur et à mesure du temps qui passe, je ne vois pas beaucoup d’issue pour un nouveau monde bienveillant dans lequel on serait à la fois triste, heureux et les deux à la fois tout en sachant que ce n’est pas si grave. il n’y a rien de plus sombre que ce que je vis aujourd’hui, en étant uncapable de faire le geste qui suffit à se lever. je suis abattue par ma tristesse comme un grand coup de hache dans un arbre déjà fendu à la base. je ne suis pas triste pour blaguer ni même pour que l’on ne voit que ma grande tristesse. je suis triste car j’ai de la peine pour moi même et les efforts ridicules, infimes que je fais pour me maintenir au niveau de la grande société qui marche et qui se dérobe dans les longs couloirs du métro parisien. c’est une phrase de connard. je me force à manger et boire pour faire face et bonne figure, si quelqu’un me voit d’en haut, qu’il se dise que j’ai tenté de rester digne. Même si je ne suis pas digne de moi, je le fais pour être fière un jour. il devrait arriver, les fameux jours, pourtant je ne comprends pas qu’il peine à montrer un semblant de forme alors que, le temps passe toujours et plus il le passe, plus la substance s’efface. ce qui a fait de moi une personne en chair et en os est en train de mourir, jusque dans les plus petits détails. La colère est devenue de la tristesse qui cherche un bout de moi, le plus minuscule, pour le détruire et lui ôter sa place dans mon corps et dans mon esprit. je ne sais pas comment me réveiller sans avoir à ressentir la peine du monde sur mes deux épaules, surmontée de ma propre peine envers moi-même. le poids est tellement grand, et je suis si petite. une toute petite chose triste. la tristesse est ridicule, elle rend minable et affaiblit la maigre envie de renouveau que je peux cultiver au hasard de mes idées simples mais pourtant truffées de pièges. Le piège en question, c’est de penser que ressentir de la joie c’est se sauver du monde, s’extraire du décor et jouer le contraste avec la foule de pensées des autres et les siennes parfois. je ressens. heureusement, je ne vais pas mourir pour le moment. même si j’ai l’impression des fois qu’il n’y a que dans la mort pour que la machine s’arrête : automatique signifie vivant. alors je pense automatique avec mes deux neurones qui s'effleurent au hasard de mes idées simples mais pourtant truffées de pièges. le piège c’est d’avoir pensé que j’étais plus forte que prévu. je ne suis qu’un tas de morceaux qui ne s’assemblent pas, ou ne s’assemblent plus : je pense que ça ne s’est jamais assemblé correctement, car c’était impossible de faire coincer des ronds dans des carrés qui ressemblent à des triangles, ont le goût et l’odeur d’un rectangle, mais le soir à dix-neuf heure si on plisse les yeux, ont tout à faire l’air de carrés. parce qu’il n’y a jamais assez de carrés pour faire un monde, il n’y a jamais assez de mots pour épeler la misère d’une personne qui s’écrie ridiculement à l’aide. c’est triste mais c’est vrai, car c’est sincère. j’ai compris ça en regardant les autres glisser au travers de la vie comme si tout était simple, comme si la vie n’était qu’une piste de danse bien propre, une allée de bowling bien laqué, une patinoire sans accroc ni blessure.
