A couple of hours after he/she is born, a caribou calf can run. However, today in the wild Columbia Mountains, 4 out of every 5 calves born will not make it to ten months of age. They are vulnerable to many compounding threats. Although this animal lives where few animals can survive, they are incredibly sensitive to human use on the landscape, be it roads, railways, timber harvesting, recreation, increased deer and moose populations and the resulting higher predator populations.

As the first splitboarder to earn full ACMG lead guiding certification and a handpicked heli guide for pro snowboarders from Travis Rice to Jeremy Jones, Scott Newsome is a bit of a legend in the Canadian snowboard ranks. Eighteen years after he first skied the massive peaks of Valdez, Alaska, Eddie Bauer split board guide Scott Newsome met up with Eddie Bauer snowboard guide Chris Coulter to revisit the lines he cut his teeth on in his well spent youth.

The Freshfields are one of the largest glacial systems in Western Canada and sit below a crown jewel selection of jagged 10,000 to 11,000-foot peaks. Last spring, Eddie Bauer splitboarders Scott Newsome, Chris Coulter and Wyatt Caldwell linked up with ACMG guide Trevor Gavura to tick off a mountaineering mission in this remote zone. Heli-dropping in close Crown Land proximity to the zone, the team set up glacial base camp on the Alberta/BC border of the National Park then waited out a massive spring storm. When the weather finally cracked blue, the team ticked day-after-day of trophy descents by skintrack access in this Great Canadian Divide region of towering summits and massive icefields. Expedition Freshfields is the three-part, extended cut story of their trip of a lifetime in this zone.
