Marc Morisset in 1997 in the Whistler Backcountry with Whistler Heli Skiing.
1997 was a really transitional year. We had discovered and purchased sleds to explore the backcountry in the previous couple years, but companies were still willing to splash out to shoot photos from a heli now and again. Morry had been killing it for 5 years at least and although we were shooting together less often, we still go out a few times a year.
The circumstances of how this day came together elude me, it might have been a Type A shoot, or maybe some other sponsor, but somehow Morry, Roan, KY, and Sluggo ended up in a helicopter together on a day when the valley clouds made a perfect ocean. The first turn was a bit wind scrubbed, but then Marc found the good snow and buried a toeside slasher in front of a one-of-a-kind landscape.
