There’s still snow in the mountains of North America, especially way up north in Canada, but it’s getting more and sparse. If you really work for it you can still find some solid big skiing/snowboarding lines, but that’s not necessarily going to be the case for much longer.
Professional big mountain skier Tim Durtschi shared footage from his unique last ski mission of the year, shredding around an abandoned mine in northern British Columbia. It’s easily one of the wildest and coolest areas we’ve seen someone ski in a while.
It’s not exactly clear what type of mine we see in the video, though it is some sort of open pit mine. Pretty gnarly shot, it definitely gives off apocalyptic energy.
About Tim Durtschi:
Tim grew up in Alyeska, Alaska, where he discovered his love for the mountain and learned to shape natural terrain into features of his own. He has worked with major ski film companies including Warren Miller, Teton Gravity Research, and Field Productions, and competed in events like the Linecatcher, Swatch Skier Cup, and Cold Rush.
As a TGR athlete, Tim spends each winter skiing in front of the camera in locations ranging from Alaska and British Columbia to Austria and Japan. He goes by the nickname Dirtski, rides on Atomic Skis, and draws inspiration from anyone who makes a living doing what they love.
