The working life of a big-mountain guide is about looking out for others and keeping them safe and reassured. Freeride skier and guide Sam Anthamatten—born and raised in Zermatt, Switzerland, in the shadow of the Matterhorn—found his way of life in guiding and helping his community.

His experience and skills allowed others to fulfill their dreams and find glory. This time, he’s the one in the spotlight.

Nevia offers a glimpse into Sam’s life not as a supporting act but as the main event—in his high-stakes mission paragliding from Zermatt to the Obergabelhorn north face, hiking up to the top, skiing down, and then gliding back home.

“Nevia” has two meanings: snow or something new. It’s also the name of Sam and his fiancé Sabrina’s baby daughter.

This monumentally challenging expedition demands a plethora of technical skills, massive reserves of strength, and a well-honed sensibility for safety.

Featuring three gravel and three MTB events, the series explores the intense competition and love of the sport among 60 of the world’s premier cyclists.
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.
