FFS Bear Chase Pod with Owen Day from Summit Ski Tours

Backdrop Journal's FFS Backcountry Podcast

Episode 11 - The bear base camp reunion pod, see us start off talking Iceland and BC with heli guide Owen Day, founder of Summit Ski Tours, before we have a reunion with Romi Nella and Andy Beal, who were all chased uphill by a bear while touring from a base camp with Owen.

Owen has worked as a guide with Arctic Heliskiing since its inspection and gives us an insightful lowdown on riding and touring in Northern Iceland.

Owen also works for Northern Escape Heli-ski out of Terrace BC, close to the Alaskan border. It’s within the Northern Escapes tenure that Owen runs heli-accessed week long tented base camps and where the Backdrop Crew woke, met, shouted at and eventually ran from a grizzly bear.
