Arc’teryx Ralle Parka

The RALLE PARKA for men is the total package for harsh winters: Coreloft synthetic insulation keeps you warm when temps plunge, and the breathable, 40D GORE-TEX outer fabric delivers durably waterproof, windproof and snowproof protection. An adjustable StormHood elevates coverage, cuff gaskets seal out drafts, and the extra parka length keeps you well-covered on long missions. www.arcteryx.com

Backpacker’s Pantry

With roots stretching back to 1951, BACKPACKER’S PANTRY meals are today used worldwide by trekkers, sailors, extreme athletes, explorers, the military, hunters, campers and the US Ski Team. It may be freeze-dried survival food with a three-year shelf life, but it sure tastes fresh and restaurant-ready. When you’re hovering over a camp stove on a backcountry ski or paddling trip, something this good and easy to prepare is truly a small miracle. www.backpackerspantry.ca

MoonBike

Crafted in the French Alps, the MOONBIKE is best described as an e-snowbike with benefits. The forks, neck, frame and handlebars are configured like a bike. And also like a bike, it’s just 28 inches wide and will fit on a hitch carrier or truck bed. The top speed is 42 km/h and the battery life depends on variables such as terrain and conditions but typically it will run for 35 km in Eco Mode. You can double that distance by adding a second battery. We haven’t tried a MoonBike yet, but we’re hoping for a demo soon (as is every other outdoor media outlet in North America). www.moonbikes.com

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.
Do Not Disturb mode activated ✅ #mountainlifer
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.
@acmg.ca /IFMGA Mountain Guide and  @parks.canada Visitor Safety Specialist Steve Holeczi discusses the role of chance in mountain adventures and how to assess the unknown.
Slopes in the morning, peddles in the afternoon = balance. #mountainlifer
