I've been out camping in the Kootenays for the past two weekends which has been a super awesome time. The first weekend we went out with a few friends for a chilled camping weekend in Nelson.
The second weekend was a bit more of a riding mission. We have had Aaron Gates back in town for the past week, so Myself, Andrew and Aaron organized a camping trip into the Kootnays with the intention of riding at all the sweet parks and spots along the way. We left Friday night and headed straight to Nelson for a quick night session at the indoor. The session was rad, everyone had a good ride and enjoyed watching Andrew shred the place apart, its easy to tell that he grew up riding there.
After raining all day Saturday we decided to head up to Duncan Dam to camp out and drink some cold ones on the gigantic beach for the night.
Sunday's weather started out a bit more promising but quickly turned on us. We managed to get a quick ride at Kaslo skatepark. The bowl at Kaslo has awesome hips and would make a rad summer spot as its right on the beach. The rain got real shitty so we packed up and headed back in Kelowna's direction only stopping at Castlegar to ride in between showers and for andrew to hurt his back again.
Overall, even with the rain it was still an awesome trip. the Kootenays are the beautiful and always relaxing to spend time in.
