ML staff and gear partners highlight the latest boards, hoodies, vests, avy packs, skis and gloves, in alpha order.


Women’s Burton Feelgood Camber Snowboard 

“The Feelgood (with the StepOn Re:flex binding and Limelight Step On Boot) was an entirely new setup for me in 2022 and it was a total game-changer. The pop of this board is incredible and its ability to carve in all conditions is amazing. The convenience and performance of the Step On setup can’t be underestimated. For those riding with a group and used to lagging behind to strap in, the efficiency of the step-on setup is magical with no performance loss at all. The boot’s built-in heel straps mean heel lift is a non-issue and the quick release means you can coast into the lift line and unbuckle quickly. I am beyond excited to get back on this setup for the winter.” –ML Contributing Editor Allison Kennedy Davies

Maloja TozzagoM. Vest

From Maloja’s Glide & Ride collection—suitable for both nordic skiing and biking—the TozzagoM. is made of windproof, warming and lightweight Bikestretch WB. We like everything about this versatile and packable layer, especially the two-way zip, so you can open it from the bottom up for on-demand ventilation. Buy Maloja in Canada at www.thelasthunt.com

Nordica Unleashed 98

Equally at home exploring deep snow, bumps, and trees, Nordica’s Unleashed 98 (available in men’s and women’s models) is the perfect daily driver for adventurous skiers. To amplify your confidence, it pairs a wood core with carbon and a sheet of terrain-specific metal. This design boosts edge hold and dampens vibrations for an exceptionally smooth ride. Its rocker profile thrives in any terrain and all conditions while the traditional camber underfoot offers exceptional response and plenty of pop. Combine all this with an early-rise tip and tail for additional floatation and you’ll never want to leave the slopes. www.nordica.com

Patagonia R2 TechFace Jacket

The women’s and men’s Patagonia R2 TechFace Jacket (also available as a Hoody) is a classic go-to mid-layer. The outside of this stretchy and breathable tech fleece resists wind, light precip and abrasion and slides easily under a shell. As always with Patagonia, it’s Fair Trade Certified sewn, and the plush, high-pile fleece interior (made of polyester from recycled pop bottles) keeps you toasty. www.monodsports.com

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.
