Planning a ski trip in the east these days isn’t easy: it seems to be either raining and 12 degrees or puking and -29. It’s hit or miss. So when planning our annual family ski vacation the destination has to offer more than just slopes. This year we chose Tremblant. And even though it rained the entire night we arrived, it was still awesome. With direct flights from Toronto via Porter airlines, you cut out the epic drive and arrive in Tremblant in one hour and five minutes from downtown T.O. Awesome.
So what is there to do at Tremblant other than ski? Tons.
While we’re too old to spend a drunken night at Le P’Tit Caribou, the village offers more than ever in terms of restaurants and entertainment. The always awesome brewpub La Diable continues to pour incredible pints and solid pub fare. There’s a mexican restaurant, a creperie (yum!) and food for every taste bud.
There’s free tubing at night, skating and xc skiing, dog sled rides, a kids’ club daycare and a ski school program with some of the best instructors in the east (thanks Linda!).
And if it is raining, (or -29) there’s an amazing waterpark for the little ones.
With Montreal merely a two hour drive from Tremblant, you can’t help but feel the city’s influence; the girls are cuter, the food is better and the joie di vivre really out-cultures anything Ontario has to offer. And I haven’t even mentioned the fact that the skiing is awesome. It’s 6.5 times the height of Horseshoe! And has steep tree skiing! Of course it puked over 20cms the day we flew home, but we’ll be back to Tremblant…

Reel Rock 16 is coming to #Squamish! There are two showings 👉 May 20th and June 1st at the Eagle Eye Theatre, Howe Sound Secondary School, in beautiful Squamish supported by @climbonsquamish! #Linkinbio to get your tickets! #climbing #film #filmfest #climbers #adventure #climbon #adventure #squamishbc #tickets
Finding that picture perfect moment with @sweenyj #mountainlifer
The winter that just keeps on given-er! 🤘#mountainlifer
FRIDAY FLICK 💥 This past March, speed mountaineer Benedikt Böhm @benediktboehm rocked a five-hour sea-to-summit expedition up Mount Parnassus in central Greece. Starting at sea level on his road bike at the village of Itea on the Gulf of Corinth, he climbed up to an altitude of 2.414 metres. #linkinbio to watch the film!
I had no idea what to expect from this trip, neither from bikepacking, a fancy term for cycle touring and a sport I’d never done before, nor from Kyrgyzstan, a country most people cannot find on a map. Carl, who I’d only just met recently after moving to Canada—I’d flagged him down after backcountry skiing after seeing his Montana license plate—had invited me on this trip while on a mountain bike ride. I said no. A few weeks later I figured, “Why not?”
The @rab.equipment  dynamic Cirrus Flex is a soft, lightweight hybrid synthetic insulation for mountain-friendly layering. Keeping you warm and perfectly suited to journey in the mountains. #TheMountainPeople #WeAreRab
"@normhann and I lashed paddleboards to the roof of his truck and headed north along the Island Highway, towards Telegraph Cove. Norm had invited me to tag along on a commercial paddleboard group he would be guiding in the Broughton Archipelago. Despite a long history of SUP expeditions, I harboured some reservations."
To date, more than 6,000 people have summitted Everest, the highest point on Earth at 8,848.86 metres of elevation above sea level. And only a tiny handful of those climbers have been Black.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the rad moms out there! Here’s our Art Director & Head Designer @calypsodesign getting cozy with some sharks. #mountainlifer #mothersday
