New York resident Eric Rhea made a video tribute to touring and heliskiing in the Revelstoke backcountry. Have a watch here.
Heliskiing and splitboarding in the mountains around Revelstoke is the subject of a new song and homemade music video produced by New York City resident Eric Rhea, AKA Ric Riggler. Revelstoke gets a shout out in the video, and local companies Eagle Pass Heliskiing and Revelstoke Backcountry Guides are featured in the video. In our latest Revelstoke Mountaineer Podcast, we talked with Eric about his video and his involvement with the National Brotherhood of Skiers. We also learned that freeskiing superstar Lynsey Dyer’s people have been in touch with Rhea, scouting some music for one of her upcoming edits.
