The LeisureCat 8000 Westerner is the walkaround model with a difference. It features a larger cab than the StormCat giving better weather protection for crew and a larger rear deck area, while still retaining the walkaround concept that allows more room for multiple fishermen. The cuddy cab has a large stowage area with bi-fold lockup door. It includes an electric toilet. The upholstered forward seats give a luxurious lounge area and have hinged tops to provide additional stowage under. Other standard features include saltwater deck wash, bolsters along inside of gunwales, roof hatch, esky seat in front of the console, electric anchor winch and a marlin board extension with dive ladder. Recommended engine power is 2x150hp to 200hp 4-stroke outboards. The Westerner has all the standard LeisureCat safety features and includes their renowned wavebreaker for that soft ride.

We caught up with ACMG guide Jan Neuspiel between trips to Bella Coola, and asked him about his custom powder skis. They feature west coast raven design created by our favourite local K’omoks and Kwakwaka’wakw artist, Karver Everson. So you might be wondering, who is Jan? Jan has been guiding and teaching for more than 35 years all over the world with a particular focus on the Himalayan region for about half that time. He spent six years living in Nepal (he speaks Nepali!) and eleven years running a helicopter skiing operation in northern India. Since 2006 Jan has also been the Head Guide for Bella Coola Helisports' heliskiing operations in the Mount Waddington area of the BC Coast Range. Closer to home, Jan founded two of Vancouver Island's most familiar alpine institutions: 1) Island Alpine Guides, which is Vancouver Island's premiere mountain school and guide service. 2) The Vancouver Island Avalanche Centre, where he acted as lead forecaster until recently. It's a homegrown and grassroots effort supported entirely by local businesses and users. They provide avalanche safety information for Vancouver Islanders who recreate in the backcountry in winter, predominantly via the Vancouver Island Avalanche Bulletin. His breadth of experience, his thoughtful kindness and his spirit of adventure make Jan a natural leader. He is a true inspiration and we are so thankful for his influence on the alpine culture here in our community, and for his positive contributions to mountain culture at large.
