CLIF Thins

For those times on the trail (or anywhere) when a full-on protein/energy bar is too much, a CLIF THIN still stops hunger in its tracks. Packed with essential calories and nutrients, this is the perfect addition to your run-pack or glove box. A Thin is crispy and light, in contrast to the more substantial CLIF bar you know. www.clifbar.ca

Foon Tantalus 189

Fine in texture, yellow cedar has a straight and narrow grain that creates a predictable flex pattern and a harder density than most softwoods. This makes Foon ski cores exceptionally damp, and stable. Yellow cedar is well recognized for it quality, exclusivity and element of prestige. This symbolizes the heritage of the Coast Mountains perfectly captured in Foon skis.

Ignik Hand Warmers

IGNIK HAND WARMERS provide consistent and long-lasting heat when you need it and with less waste. The contents of every Ignik warmer are safe, all-natural, and biodegradable. And the AirBarrier pouch keeps more air out for more reliable heat—up to 10 hours each. The resealable top gives you control to use (and re-use) the warmers when you need them. Buy in Canada at evo.com

You can store open warmers and reuse them up to 72 hours later. And each outer pouch is re-usable and 100% recyclable. The end result is a higher performance hand-warmer, which is more efficient and less wasteful.

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
