The Fantail Five: reliving an epic ski trip on a historic route
In March 2024, a gang of tough female characters set off on a seven-day ski trip from Log Cabin to Atlin, B.C., following the historic Fantail route. Along the way, the forest revealed traces of its storied past. Now, host Karen McColl and her pulk-slingin' trip-mates reunite to reflect on a trip that tested their limits, challenged their gear, and deepened their bond.
Mentioned in this episode: Elder Wayne Carlick, featured in A Chilkat robe is going home.
