Starting Friday, June 9th, Arc’teryx will be celebrating its Burrard flagship store grand opening in Vancouver with a week of events and festivities.

The weeklong event kicks off with a screening of ‘A Skier’s Journey‘, free snacks and a new Arc’teryx beer. Then on Saturday, the real grand opening begins with gift bags for the first 50 customers, product demos, prizes and giveaways.

Throughout the week, Arc’teryx will be hosting clinics featuring Adam Campbell, Jordan Manley and resident senior outdoor photographer Angela Percival on topics like group running, mountain photography, and getting fit for the climbing season.

“The store will be geared towards providing engaging and relevant information to help assist and inspire outdoor enthusiasts,” says Arc’teryx Retail Marketing Manager, Stephanie Jamison. “The dedicated community area will be home to various tools and information resources, as well as being a space to host events, speaker series and invite local ambassadors to share their latest and greatest adventures.”

Arc’teryx will also be raffling off limited edition gifts to raise awareness and funds for North Shore Rescue. In 2017, Arc’teryx has raised over $2,400 for NSR through raffles and donation drives at its North Vancouver factory outlet and Kitsilano store.

“We value the services North Shore Search and Rescue offers the community and they know that they can come to us with any needs they have and we’ll do what we can to help,” says James Bronson, Arc’teryx Product Line Manager. “In turn, we go to them any time we need some product tested and they’ve always been extremely accommodating to our requests.”

Although not a formal partnership, Arc’teryx has been working with North Shore Rescue for over a decade.

“Having the right gear is absolutely essential and can literally make the difference between life and death,” says North Shore Rescue Team Leader Mike Danks. “More often than not, rescuers are parachuted into situations in austere conditions for long periods of time. Having the right gear allows you to focus on the task at hand, which is completing the rescue. The Dually Belay jacket has saved many lives in austere conditions and is a go-to as a quick fix for someone who is hypothermic.”

One of the largest and most active organizations of its kind in North America, NSR relies on volunteer manpower and resourceful fundraising to maintain its presence. To help the organization, Arc’teryx fills uniform orders in addition to allowing all members individual access to the pro program. Donated insulated jackets are used in the rescue stations and whenever possible, Arc’teryx contributes product toward fundraising initiatives.

“I’m always amazed at the dedication of Search and Rescue volunteers,” says Bronson. “Most of them have fulltime jobs and families and still find time to train and go out in the middle of the night to help complete strangers who are in need. It’s very humbling working such talented professionals. At Arc’teryx we see a real importance in ensure professionals have the right gear to get the job done, working with Search and Rescue teams is critical to achieving this goal.”

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!
We came in search of the connection of the human spirit to both art and adventure, whether climbing from the depths of moulins and ice caves, breaking through ice while paddleboarding fjords, climbing icebergs, freediving between tectonic plates or surfing cold waves.
A thousand and one things could have gone wrong, but she made it to the top:  @mariepier.desharnais is the first Quebecois woman to climb K2.
