**We encourage you to watch in HQ, as it makes for a much better viewing experience**

Early March 2009

Los Badicales join forces with Powder Mountain Catskiing (http://powdermountaincatskiing.com ) once more for 3 days of unforgettable powder.
Not far from Whistler Blackcomb, BC, Canada in the Coast Mountain backcountry.

Big thanks to all of the PMC crew including Gordon, Don, and Ken; Our guides Nick, Jeff, and Simon; Our drivers Bailey, Pete, and Steve, and Mike the photographer. Also thanks to Miss Powder Mountain, Kate.

The song is “God moving over the face of the waters” by Moby.
