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!

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.
Mountain Life is a proud member of the @printreleaf_ community. So far we've offset our print by having 1,737 trees reforested since joining in 2019! 🌲
GUESS WHAT! It's FRIDAY! Here's a flick to kick off the weekend for all you warriors.

In 1986 @beverlyglenncopeland recorded Keyboard Fantasies using an Atari computer, a keyboard and a drum machine. After releasing it on cassette and selling maybe 50 copies, he went back to writing for Sesame Street and making the odd guest appearance on Mr. Dressup. In 2015, a cassette made its way to Japanese collector Ryota Masuko, a record store owner with a big online presence, who quickly bought, and then sold, all the Keyboard Fantasies cassettes he could find. Record labels worldwide lined up to reissue the hidden gem on vinyl.
