A freeride paradise
Step inside this wonderland where big mountain meets deep days. Galena’s steep Selkirk terrain with slopes of up to 50 degrees is more densely stacked with snow-ghosted trees, playful spines, endless pillow lines, cliffy drops and fluted features than any of our other tenures. In this above-and-below treeline paradise, our guides are keen to nudge guests into challenging shots, with many Galena skiers emerging in awe of the terrain they slayed during their trip. With access to such a terrain buffet — and a reliably deep snowpack — our expert-only area is the place where skiers and riders feel good pushing themselves to another level, while having an absolute blast in the process.
In 2017, professional snowboarder Travis Rice picked CMH Galena as his winter home base for four weeks, filming with Robin Van Gyn, Austen Sweetin and Bryan Fox in a mission to discover the true roots of snowboarding for the full-length-feature shred flick Depth Perception. While dropping the lines of a Red Bull athlete might not be in your immediate future, sampling a taste of the paradise these pro riders found and filmed is why the deeply committed journey to CMH Galena. Steep valleys, craggy alpine and featured lines are only part of the teaser here—but no matter your preference, a super-fun, big mountain canvas awaits in this sweet, sweet patch of the Selkirks.
