Stable, fast, light, and durable, the boards are available in three sizes to cover any paddler and any water for short or long trips. These paddleboards are the best exploring boards we’ve seen.

For a board that gives you extra stability and rigidity, you need a Voyager inflatable paddle board from Red Paddle Co. Its increased length and thickness compared to an all-round board make it an ideal board for longer outings and for taller, larger paddlers.

After the success of last April’s Mushroom Life launch, we’re announcing a new title in the Mountain Life family today: Snack Life!
The Pursuits Film Festival is back on Friday, April 14 with an evening of adventure films celebrating the outdoors in #Ontario and beyond.
OG Mountain Lifer @colingfield hosts episode 24 of Live it Up and connects with @kari_medig, a photographer and adventurer whose images of skiing, mountain biking and exploring have graced the pages of outdoor magazines around the globe, including Mountain Life.
Check it out! The annual Canadian Vintage Bicycle Show is happening this Sunday April 2nd, at 6 Park Avenue, in Burford, ON. Starts at 7:30 am with buying, selling and trading encouraged. Get there, and get your summer cruising rig sorted. Ends at 3:30 PM. See ya there!
Remember the double chair? The opportunity it offered to get close to that girl (or guy) you’ve slowly been falling in love with? The fleeting chance to have them all to yourself? For many of us of a certain vintage, the double chair is a special piece of nostalgic skiing culture. But slowly and surely, these chairlifts are disappearing.
No one called me Feet Banks back in 1987. In those days, most people called me by my given name—except for my ski buddies, to whom I was known by the most badass moniker to ever schuss the slopes: Twinkle Toes.
We’re celebrating 20 Years of Mountain Life!
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.
