Living in a mountain town has its struggles. Struggles like finding a parking spot at your favourite coffee shop (Counterpart Coffee), finding time to file taxes when the spring skiing is good and making quality time for that special someone…

Between work, skiing, climbing, training and whatever other activities you have on the go, there isn’t much time (and energy) left to go out for a classic date. If you’re like me and your partner also loves all of the above past times, you usually adventure together. But hiking uphill, sweaty and determined to get as many fresh lines in as possible, doesn’t leave much room for romance.  

Sitting still isn’t the easiest thing for Mountain folk – so seeing a movie or going out for an expensive dinner doesn’t always seem appealing. If you want to have your cake and eat it too, add a little extra spice to those epic outings you’re planning.

 

Ski picnic

Ski Date

So you want to get some turns in and still spend time gazing into your partner eyes? Why not turn your lunch break into a romantic picnic…Pack a small spread and a light blanket or thermarest to keep the setting cozy. If you really want to set the mood, fill a bottle or bag with a bit of wine and a couple reusable plastic cups. But remember, don’t get too crazy, you still need to ski out or just make it back to your tent for the evening…

 

 

Climbing Date

Climbing Date

There’s nothing more romantic than an easy multi-pitch climb right? Checking each others knots, working on your communication skills and sitting on a ledge for sunset – what could be better? Bring along some snacks, a camera to capture that perfect moment and enjoy the view while hanging in your harness.  

 

Summit Date

After the hard work of getting up is over, enjoy a date on the top of a mountain. Sit and admire the view or share a summit kiss. Those happy endorphins will be flowin’ and there’s no better time to enjoy the company of your significant other.  

 

Backcountry Hut

Backcountry Hut Date

Fresh tracks, warm sauna, cozy cubby rooms and unplugging – book a backcountry hut trip! This is the ultimate mountain lifer date. 5 days in the mountains, catered and guided. It’s the ideal romantic getaway if you ask me. And the best part is, you can do it from the comfort of your bed using the 57 Hours App.

From The Gear Shed: Last Monday was the official start of spring, but we know there’s still some winter to be shredded. So ML staff and partners have picked the latest jackets, lanterns, bindings, mugs and drysuits for winter-spring.
Exploring the sights around beautiful Sutton, Quebec with ML creator @adv_bird ❄️🫶
Back on the road with three generations, dancing lifties, best-on-planet pizza and elusive-but-exquisite pow days.
Live It Up EP 24 is out now!
The Southern Interior region of BC holds an ecological cross-section of the province with alpine meadows, arid Douglas fir grasslands, damp cedar and hemlock forests of the Columbia Mountains and the warm expanse of Shuswap Lake.

Conceived by superhuman snowboarder @travisrice, the @naturalselection Tour highlights earth’s premier riders, from big-mountain mavens to Olympians, all competing on the most stoketastic—and unpredictable—terrain known to humankind.
Built upon a shared desire to enjoy, respect, and advocate for Alberta’s incredible landscapes, it was a natural fit for @elementsoutfitters to work with a local conservation organization @saltslandtrust to highlight the province’s rugged beauty and outdoor apparel to match.
THE UNINVITED INVITATIONAL April 13-16 @woodwardtahoe 😱 $40,000 cash prize purse and a whole lotta spotlight on a group of riders whose time has finally come!! Presented by @jess.kimura and @thenorthface and supported by @yeti @capitasupercorp @slushthemagazine @unionbindingco @smithoptics @sunbum @coalheadwear @fattire 🫡 watch the finals in person Saturday April 15 and join the crew + @btbounds for a public ride day Sunday April 16 @borealmtn. Time to make some history!!! #linkinbio to learn more!
Close your eyes and, for a moment, imagine yourself deep in the polar regions aboard an expedition ship stuck in the ice. The white pack-ice is dazzling, and the immobile vessel seems frozen in time and space. That experience piques your curiosity, doesn't it? Without having to go all the way to Antarctica, you can experience these icy sensations 30 minutes from Quebec City in one of Bora Boréal 's two floating cottages.
