STORIES FROM THE FRNT - MEADOW LODGE

The only worthy roof for the talents of Eric Hjorleifson and Thayne Rich is in a backcountry touring hut, where life remains primitive and the skiing, well, radical. This is a complete 4FRNT adventure with great disparity between top talents, each driven to create content from alternating perspectives.

What happens when you put Golden Alpine Holidays' (GAH) poster boy (Hoji) in a hut with a rookie like Thayne? Does the puppy breathe life into the old dog? Does he fall in line, one kick turn at a time?

This two-part web series from 4FRNT Skis' Stories From The FRNT documents a three-day adventure with Eric and Thayne at Meadow Lodge in The Esplanades, an eastern sub-range of British Columbia where the terrain flows east to the Columbia River's Kinbasket Lake.

Enjoy the crafts of these two backcountry skiers as they literally ski from the door of Meadow Lodge down fluted spines, endless pillows and perfectly gladed tree runs.
