Western Canada skier Jordy Kidner has spent the past few days high in tight couloirs sampling the early season pow.

From Bow Summit to Lake Louise, Kidner and other skiers have opened a number of steep lines for the season.

Always check the avalanche conditions before heading into the backcountry here.
