Early mornings, late nights and the anticipation of the next weather cycle. Breaking trail, first tracks and a need for the unknown. These phenomena inspire Patagonia‘s innovative film series #Find_Away. The latest instalment is AK Girls Way:

 

 

This short film is dedicated to the memory of Liz Daley – pro climber, mountain guide, and splitboarder – who was lost to an avalanche in Argentina. The 29-year-old native of Tacoma, Washington was descending the 7000-foot Cerro Vespignani near Mount Fitzroy in September of last year when the avalanche struck. In a tragic coincidence, we lost Daley on the same day that freeskiers JP Auclair and Andreas Fransson perished in an avalanche in Chile.

To honour Liz Daley, a scholarship fund has been created to support women who “Live Like Liz”. Donate at www.livelikeliz.com.

“She hid nothing and held nothing back,” writes freeskier and friend Drew Tabke, who was with her on the day she died. “In a world of people who wear masks, Liz was always Liz. If she liked you, she liked you. And if she didn’t, she’d probably let you know, though I’m just guessing as I never saw that happen…. There was simply no hurdle you could put in front of her to slow her down. Crippling tendonitis in her feet one season? Pushed through the pain and overcame it. Paying for seasons in Chamonix before she had sponsors by working 70-hour weeks at restaurants, tree-trimming crews, and more recently, guiding? Did it all without breaking a sweat.  She progressed so fast, flew so high, burned so bright, it was hard to believe she was even from this planet.”

NEW ML Coast Mountains Winter-Spring ’23 Issue is OUT NOW! 🙌
There are some first times that we will always remember. Like the time I skied off-piste through the alpine highlands of le parc national de la Gaspésie.

With four decades of ice canoeing under his belt, Jean Anderson has dominated a sport that's unique to Quebec and that he helped shape.
Featuring three gravel and three MTB events, the series explores the intense competition and love of the sport among 60 of the world’s premier cyclists.
Winter commute with #mountainlifer @michelle_pittam ❄️🚵‍♀️🌲
@lhymnedestrembles.ca is no mirage. Set in the lush Laurentian forest, yet easily accessible (less than an hour and a half from Montreal), this luxurious ski-in ski-out residential resort by @groupebrivia is nestled at the foot of the Versant Soleil side of Mont Tremblant. The Tremblant region is a perennial destination for outdoor enthusiasts from around the world, and within the province, attracting 3.5 million visitors annually.
ML staff and gear partners highlight the latest jackets, boards, crampons, hoodies, insoles and bindings in alpha order. #Linkinbio to learn more!
Adventures like this one require an inspiring team. @timemmett is a longtime friend, adventure partner and extraordinary human; an explorer, pro climber, surfer, freediver—you name it. @luca.freediver is an incredibly talented freediver, fresh off breaking the Canadian national freediving record (85 metres). The fourth man on the team, @brianhockenstein, is a filmmaker and multi-talented snowboarder always ready to jump into the fray and capture the magic. - words Jimmy Martinello. #Linkinbio to learn more!
