“The Adventurer,” the debut episode of Chris Davenport’s new web series, Faces of Dav, is shot on location in Bella Coola, British Columbia. Dav, Griffin Post and photographer Adam Clark take the chopper up to the “Mad Dog Col” where they camp for four days amidst a howling wind storm. When the skies finally clear, the group spends some long days hiking and skiing steep lines in perfect conditions. This is the first time Dav has skied in Bella Coola since 2007 when he was there with the late Doug Coombs, who passed away two weeks following the trip. Check back next week for episode two of Faces of Dav.
