words :: Todd Lawson // photos :: Kari Medig.

Get in your car and drive across Canada in the winter, hitting all the best ski resorts and aprés bars along the way. Yes, this was the harsh reality that faced professional skiers (and real-life husband-and-wife shredders) Stan Rey and Kelsey Serwa last winter.

The result is this feel-good, funny af, cliche-ridden (in the very best of ways) beauty produced by our insanely-talented friends at Origin Design. Oh Canada, we stand on guard to skee…

ML: Driving across Canada to ski your brains out at some incredible ski resorts. Sounds like a dream gig. Was it?

Stan Rey: It really was a dream gig! I love exploring new places and seeing what they have to offer and it’s always fun going back to resorts you’ve already skied and finding a few more hidden gems you missed the first time around.

ML: Was this a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants situation, or were you following some sort of script?

SR: We followed some sort of script but it was pretty loose. So let’s say it was tight loose.

ML: Which resort served up the best poutine? Alpine caesars too…do tell!

SR: Being from Whistler it’s hard not to say a good old Zog’s poutine especially after aprés, but I might have a few Quebecois hate me for that and the best alpine Cesar has to go to Kicking Horse. I don’t know what was better, the Caesar or the view from the Eagle’s Eye Lodge.

ML:  “If FUBAR and The Sound of Music had a love child, this would be it.” Now that is an apt review for this trailer. Did you guys channel some inner Deano and Terry along the way?

SR: All Canadians might hate me for this but l’ve never watched FUBAR.

ML: Some rapid-fire questions to follow. (Note to reader: Kelsey was on the road again, and not able to chime in to answer the rapid-fire, so they may seem a little lopsided in Stan’s favour. Rest assured Kelsey will exact her revenge this winter. 😉

Best apres scene? 

Fernie at The Griz.

Who is the better skier?  

I don’t have an Olympic gold or silver medal but I’m still gonna say me.

Origin Destination Canada Kari Medig 0506

Who snores the most? 

Me, but only when I stumble in from aprés.

Who is the better driver? 

She’s a safer driver that’s for sure.

Origin Destination Canada Kari Medig 0887

Best powder day? 

Revy.

Who is most likely to fuck up the photographer’s camera? 

Kels. Her pow turns need some work.

Who can drive a can of Molson Canadian the fastest? 

I don’t drink and drive. (Another note: Haha…this was supposed to say who can ‘drink’ a can of Molson Canadian the fastest. Oops!)

Origin Destination Canada Kari Medig 2570

Would you do it all over again? 

Yes, but I’d take twice as long to do it.

Any other words you’d like to say to your fellow Mountain Lifers out there? 

Keep your skis/ boards base side down every day except for Sundays. Sundays are for backflips.

And there you have it, eh.

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.
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.
