It was a rough winter. And it was a rough year all over the globe. Springtime is awesome but the struggle is still real. A slightly more carefree summer is what we all want, isn’t it? Here are some highlights from ML Coast Mountains summer photo galleries to get us all into a more upbeat headspace.

Behind the Photo: Cannonball!

Mountain Life photo editor Todd Lawson talks to Gregory Lum about his winning photo from the Whistler Film Festival’s Adventure Film Series Photo Contest.

Mountain Life: This image really works with the “More Than One” contest theme last year. Just good summer fun with friends in the mountains. As a photographer, what is the most important thing about having fun while adventuring with amigos?

Gregory: That’s a great question that’s sometimes overlooked. As a photographer, the most important thing is to make sure you’re having fun in general. I often struggle to find a balance between enjoying the moment and taking shots. I’ve definitely been guilty of failing to appreciate my surroundings because I was stuck living through the back of my camera trying to capture a moment that may or may not have been there, just to end in frustration while everyone else was happily in the moment. At the end of the day, I want to remember the raw moments and good times with my friends in the outdoors, and if I have some photos that can help re-live those moments afterwards—then so much the better. I’ve learned to put the camera down first and let the great moments come naturally, which makes the photos that much more meaningful in the end. However, it’s a different story when you’re on a paid assignment.

Mountain Life: Where was this shot taken? Was it planned or spontaneous?

Gregory: This was taken at Wedgemount Lake in Garibaldi Provincial Park and for the most part, it was pretty spontaneous. We were all taking turns with our mandatory post-hike polar plunge and instead of one person at a time, I suggested three people go all at once just for the fun of it. A well-timed shot and an even better choreographed triple cannonball resulted in a lovely photo and some hilarious mad dashing back for the rocks afterward.

Mountain Life: Any beta for people who want to hit more alpine lakes this summer?

Gregory: Find inspiration, do your research, hit up your buddies and get your shoes on. Don’t wait for an invite, make the opportunities yourself. Just because you haven’t seen photos of it on Instagram, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go. We live in one of the most beautiful and accessible playgrounds in the world and Whistler is home to some of the keenest beans on the market. Stay safe, and have fun out there!

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!! 🙌
Join the Climb for Climate Challenge on @fatmap_official! Whether you’re gaining your vert on the climbing wall, the dirt trail, or the pavement, hashtag #ClimbForClimate in the title of your adventure, and @mountainhardwear will donate $1 to @protectourwinterscanada for every 20m vertical up to $5,000–100,000m. Signing up enters you to win: a 1-month membership to FATMAP premium and a $500 MHW gift card. (Challenge runs June 16-26.)
GIVEAWAY TIME! We've teamed up with @hydroflask.ca to give you a chance to WIN an epic prize pack! The perfect pairing for a SUP expedition or an adventure in the mountains! Prize pack includes:
“With almost 50 years of riding bicycles under my belt (and 40 years of mountain biking) I can safely say when I just hop on and start givin’r it feels much like an ‘autopilot’ or ‘cruise control’ of stoke. But…I recently had a moment that hit my turbo fun button and kicked my stoke into another gear.
