Limitless Exploration

Whether we’re on the other side of the world or in our own backyards, we’re all explorers in search of new horizons. The main goal is to refresh our minds with a host of sensations, feelings and images. 

The time in my life when I felt that wave of emotional butterflies was when I experienced my very first winter in Quebec (about 15 years ago now). I left a country where people describe winter as the “dead season” to come to a province where exploration takes on its full meaning in the snow. The knoll in the nearby park becomes a mountain to climb in snowshoes, the woods in my backyard become a realm to be explored on cross-country skis and the river that we walk along without paying much attention in summer turns into a divine, icy skating corridor. A hidden world is revealed that we can explore to our heart’s content.

But beyond the places, winter lets us explore our limits, fears and knowledge. I sometimes cancel a weekend camping trip when rain is forecast in the summer, but I’m the first one to get my backpack out when a friend invites me to try an overnight stay in an igloo. Over the winters, I’ve learned (sometimes painfully) how to react to cases of frostbite, how to prevent hypothermia and how to rethink hiking plans to avoid ending the day in the dark. Thanks to all my past explorations, I feel better equipped for future ones.

In this new issue of Vie en montagne, our contributors invite you to redefine your mental boundaries and expand your explorations. From icy couloirs in Newfoundland‘s mountains to K2’s summit and through the snowy expanses of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, they have gone beyond their limits and fears to inspire you to explore yours. Get ready for a wild ride!

L’exploration sans limites

Que ce soit à l’autre bout de la planète ou dans notre cour arrière, nous sommes tous des explorateurs en quête de nouveaux horizons. Le principal but est avant tout d’oxygéner notre cerveau avec un paquet de sensations, d’émotions et d’images.

Le moment de ma vie où j’ai ressenti cette vague déferlante de papillons émotionnels, c’est lorsque j’ai vécu mon tout premier hiver au Québec (il y a de cela une quinzaine d’années maintenant). Je quittais un pays où la saison hivernale est qualifiée de « morte » pour arriver dans une province où l’exploration prend tout son sens, sous la neige. La butte du parc d’à côté devient une montagne à escalader en raquette, la forêt qui se trouve au fond de la cour arrière se transforme en royaume à explorer en ski de fond, et la rivière qu’on longe sans y prêter attention en été se change en divin corridor glacé à arpenter en patin. Un monde insoupçonné à explorer jusqu’à satiété.

Mais au-delà des lieux, c’est également l’exploration de nos limites, de nos peurs ou encore de nos connaissances qui nous est offerte en hiver. Il m’arrive quelquefois d’annuler une fin de semaine de camping lorsqu’il est prévu de la pluie en été alors que je suis la première à sortir mon sac à dos quand un ami me propose de tester une nuit en igloo. Au fil des hivers, j’ai appris (parfois dans la douleur) à réagir en cas d’engelure, à prévenir l’hypothermie et à revoir la planif d’une randonnée pour ne pas finir la journée à la noirceur. C’est grâce à toutes mes explorations passées que je me sens mieux outillée pour mes explorations futures.

Dans cette nouvelle édition de Vie en montagne, nos collaborateurs et collaboratrices vous invitent, en mots et en images, à franchir vos propres frontières mentales et à étendre votre territoire d’exploration. Des couloirs glacés des montagnes de Terre-Neuve au sommet du K2 et les terres enneigées de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue, ils ont dépassé leurs limites et leurs peurs pour vous inciter à explorer les vôtres. Apprêtez-vous à vivre une foule d’émotions fortes !

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.
