Editor’s Pick: Olive Domanski Snowboard $680

“This is a kick-ass board from a Canadian company with over 25 years’ experience featuring a topsheet photo of a local legend hitting the Whistler Mountain cliff named after him. It’s an all-mountain ripper, tapered for float but I’m pretty sure if you’re truly stoked on and inspired by and in love with the board under your feet, that will probably do more for your riding than all the technical specs in the world. Good enough for Matt Domanski, good enough for me.” —Feet Banks, Editor, Mountain Life–Coast Mountains. oliveskateboards.com

“From two legendary female designers, the new Incendia capsule brings uncompromised style and performance to the world of women’s skiing and snowboarding. The one-piece was inspired by the value of feeling phenomenal without forfeiting world-class technical performance. Fully featured 3L GORE-TEX and clever female-focused design details—like thigh vents that double as a quick release system for easy bathroom breaks—make this the ultimate uniform to send.” —Julia, Arc’teryx Store, Whistler Marketplace. 604.962.9272 arcteryx.com

“The perfect everyday freeride ski for B.C., whether you’re charging cliffs or throwing down in the black park. A versatile waist width combined with a progressive flex profile allows the NW to rip a turn, float in the powder and remain playful in all conditions. Perfect for skiers looking to take their tricks to natural terrain and all over the mountain, take your pick from 100mm or 110mm underfoot.” —Ben, Prior Snowboards & Skis, Function Junction, Whistler, 604.935.1923 priorsnow.com

This is a fully-featured, ultimate protection beast of a jacket built for years of pow-chasing at a price that can’t be beaten.” —Toby, Valhalla Pure Outfitters, Squamish, 604.892.9092 vpo.ca

“A durable and lightweight touring binding, the Oazo 8 weighs in at a featherlight 200 grams yet maintains a mostly metal construction with a four-screw heel that allows for greater distribution of force on your ski. The vertical release value of eight is very versatile and the heel-generated lateral release adjusts from four to ten, making this binding as adaptable as it is light and dependable. Sounds like a backcountry buddy!” —James, Escape Route, Whistler 604.938.3228, Squamish 604.962.3228 escaperoute.ca

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…
In the 10 years I’ve been paddleboarding, one of the most frequently asked questions I hear is, “Hardboard or inflatable: Which is better?” - @only1phoenixx
Morning rip with @jessemunden_ 🫡 #mountainlifer
Who’s having a multi-sport day?! 😆 @timemmett probably is.
Bruce County is much more than the Bruce Peninsula. We’re here to let you in on a secret: a thriving community nestled in Bruce County’s interior region, just waiting to be discovered. The village of Paisley offers something for everyone, and isn’t overrun by summer crowds.
The mere thought of a cougar or any other apex predator in our midst can turn a backcountry adventure into a psychological test of mind over matter. Luckily, our fears are mostly in our heads and few have experienced a negative wildlife encounter. But, for ultramarathoner @samuel.dickie, it got real. #Linkinbio to read more!
MAG DROP! 🤩
Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day (today and every day)!
Together with our partners we’ve picked our favourite summer trail shoes, in alpha order, for your crush-it summer. #linkinbio
Happy Father’s Day to all the RAD DADS out there!! 🙌
