This is part two of a three-part series outlining the history of Tsaina Lodge at Thompson Pass from utilitarian roadhouse and pioneering ski enthusiasts to thriving epicenter of world heli-ski and snowboard scene. In Part Two we watch skiing on Thompson Pass explode with brave innovation and technological advances, setting the stage for the Tsaina of today.
“Long story short, we caught over 100 fish per rod. Most casts brought in a variety of five species of trophy fish all day long. For myself having fly-fished 30-plus years and my son, a 20-plus year fishing guide, who has fished more than me, it wasn’t only the best fishing that each of us has ever had, it was the best fishing that either of us have ever heard of anyone having.”
