The Selkirk Mountains are a mountain range originating in Idaho and Washington, and extending into SEBritish Columbia. They begin at Mica Peak near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and extend approximately 320 kmN from the border. The range is roughly bounded by the Columbia river. The Selkirks are distinct from, and geologically older than, the Rocky Mountains.
The Selkirks were named after Thomas Douglas, 5th Earl of Selkirk.
It is all about guiding guests and sharing our great enthusiasm for the snow-covered mountains, the forested steep valleys, heavily glaciated alpine peaks and the, in summer, lush blooming meadows with jade alpine lakes and wild waterfalls at Durrand Glacier in the Northern SelkirkMountains of BC.
Homesick for climbing mountains, reaching outstanding peaks, enjoying the large unfolding panorama and experiencing the rich reward of skiing down all these superb powder-slopes, unspoiled by old tracks that cut their pristine and elegant shape into many parts.
SelkirkMountain Experience was the first ski-touring company in the world to establish two privately owned lodges amidst spectacular glaciated alpine terrain and on an exclusive land tenure.
The first Selkirk Rex was spotted in 1987 as a curly-coated, dilute calico female kitten in an otherwise normal straight haired litter of non-pedigree cats.
It was soon clear that this was a new breed and the name of Selkirk was chosen for the breed, after the SelkirkMountains in Wyoming.
The Selkirk Rex, the third Rex cat to appear on the North American show bench, is markedly different from the two Rex breeds that preceded it - the Cornish Rex and the Devon Rex.
