Liberty, Solidarity, Fellowship

“Forward, everyone paddle forward!” Those words shouted over the Mistassibi River’s roaring rapids still resonate to the depths of my being. Elbow and knee pressed against those of a neighbouring paddler, gaze directed toward the helmets of my teammates at the front, I obeyed our experienced guide’s commands as if my life were in his hands. It’s crazy how charismatic those rafting captains can be.

« En avant, tout le monde pagaie, en avant ! » / “Forward, everyone paddle forward!”

And authority is also needed to guide such a fragile floating vessel propelled by boating novices through whirlpools of water that want nothing more than to swallow you whole. A weaker paddle stroke on one side would make us lean dangerously toward the shore; an imbalance at the front would send the whole happy team overboard. “Paddles out of the water!” Everyone plays their part, unconsciously contracting their glutes as our boat hurtles vertiginously over hellacious class 5 rapids. Then, “Everyone, paddle forward!”

Rafting is a truly rewarding team activity. Each person in the boat is necessary for the others to succeed (and survive). That solidarity and fellowship lead our little group toward the exquisite taste of freedom in the great outdoors.

This new issue of Vie en montagne puts the spotlight on duos, fellowships, groups of friends and tight-knit communities who can move mountains with their unified energy. Our contributors take you on journeys in words and pictures, such as an inclusive hike in the Eastern Townships, a look behind the scenes of a trail race on the Gaspé Peninsula or an exploration of the territory of the new generation of Inuit in Nunavik. Join us for this new human-powered sporting adventure because alone we may go faster, but together we go farther! –Frédérique Sauvée, Editor

Can’t find a print copy at your usual spot? (We know they go fast!) For the price of a coffee, you can have Vie en montagne delivered to your home or office. Subscribe here.


Liberté, solidarité, fraternité

« En avant, tout le monde pagaie, en avant ! » Ces mots criés à travers le vacarme des rapides de l’impétueuse rivière Mistassibi résonnent encore jusqu’au plus profond de mon être. Coude et genou collés à ceux de mon voisin pagayeur, regard pointé vers les casques de mes coéquipiers à l’avant, j’obéissais aux ordres de notre barreur d’expérience comme si ma vie était entre ses mains. C’est fou le charisme que peuvent avoir ces capitaines de rafting. Et de l’autorité aussi, car il en faut pour guider une embarcation flottante si fragile, propulsée par des novices de la navigation, dans des tourbillons d’eau qui ne demandent qu’à nous engloutir tout cru.


Visions d’été du Québec / Quebec Summer Visions

Un coup de pagaie plus faible d’un côté et nous obliquerions dangereusement vers la berge, un déséquilibre à l’avant et c’est toute la joyeuse équipe qui passerait par-dessus bord. « Sortez les pagaies de l’eau ! » Tous s’exécutent et serrent inconsciemment les muscles de leur postérieur tandis que notre embarcation franchit vertigineusement les diaboliques rapides de classe 5. Puis on entend : « Tout le monde, on pagaie, en avant ! » 

Le rafting est une activité d’équipe vraiment gratifiante. Chaque personne assise dans le bateau est nécessaire à la réussite (et à la survie) des autres. Une solidarité et une fraternité qui mènent tout ce beau monde vers le goût exquis de la liberté, propre au plein air.

Cette nouvelle édition de Vie en montagne braque justement les projecteurs sur des duos, des fratries, des gangs d’amis et des communautés tissées serrées qui réussissent à déplacer des montagnes grâce à leur énergie unifiée. Nos collaborateurs vous emmènent ainsi, en mots et en images, à leur rencontre, que ce soit en randonnée inclusive dans les Cantons-de-l’Est, dans les coulisses d’une épreuve de course en sentier en Gaspésie ou encore sur le territoire d’une nouvelle génération d’Inuits au Nunavik. Joignez-vous à nous dans cette aventure humaine et sportive : seul, on va plus vite, mais ensemble, on va plus loin !  –Frédérique Sauvée, rédactrice en chef

Difficile de mettre la main sur une copie ? On le sait, elles partent très vite ! Pour le prix d’un café, recevez chez vous ou au bureau votre magazine Vie en montagne. Abonnez-vous ici.

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.

Back on the road with three generations, dancing lifties, best-on-planet pizza and elusive-but-exquisite pow days.
Live It Up EP 24 is out now!
The Southern Interior region of BC holds an ecological cross-section of the province with alpine meadows, arid Douglas fir grasslands, damp cedar and hemlock forests of the Columbia Mountains and the warm expanse of Shuswap Lake.

Conceived by superhuman snowboarder @travisrice, the @naturalselection Tour highlights earth’s premier riders, from big-mountain mavens to Olympians, all competing on the most stoketastic—and unpredictable—terrain known to humankind.
Built upon a shared desire to enjoy, respect, and advocate for Alberta’s incredible landscapes, it was a natural fit for @elementsoutfitters to work with a local conservation organization @saltslandtrust to highlight the province’s rugged beauty and outdoor apparel to match.
THE UNINVITED INVITATIONAL April 13-16 @woodwardtahoe 😱 $40,000 cash prize purse and a whole lotta spotlight on a group of riders whose time has finally come!! Presented by @jess.kimura and @thenorthface and supported by @yeti @capitasupercorp @slushthemagazine @unionbindingco @smithoptics @sunbum @coalheadwear @fattire 🫡 watch the finals in person Saturday April 15 and join the crew + @btbounds for a public ride day Sunday April 16 @borealmtn. Time to make some history!!! #linkinbio to learn more!
Close your eyes and, for a moment, imagine yourself deep in the polar regions aboard an expedition ship stuck in the ice. The white pack-ice is dazzling, and the immobile vessel seems frozen in time and space. That experience piques your curiosity, doesn't it? Without having to go all the way to Antarctica, you can experience these icy sensations 30 minutes from Quebec City in one of Bora Boréal 's two floating cottages.
