MEC x POW Canada’s annual Season Opener is an all-out celebration to welcome and help protect winter. 

Over the next two weeks, MEC and POW Canada (in partnership with Arc’teryx) present their annual evenings of films, talks and prizes across Canada to get you pumped for the coming snow season.

Yup, it’s time for the Season Opener. This year, MEC has added even more locations across the country, so get your tickets now – they always go fast. 

DATES: 

October 22 – MEC Vancouver 

October 25 – MEC Montreal

October 29 – MEC Toronto 

November 1 – MEC Calgary 

WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO: 

📽️ Show-stopping lineup of ski films to get you stoked for winter.

Film Synopsis: Tom Peiffer and Eric Carter are both world-class competitive skiers—but in completely opposite disciplines of skiing: Eric is a former US National Team skimo race athlete, and Tom is a former Freeride World Tour competitor. And yet, as they have progressed beyond competition in their respective disciplines, their paths have converged. As they set out together in search of rarely skied descents, they find strength in their differences and come to understand that there’s more to a successful partnership in big terrain than meets the eye.
Film Synopsis: Journey with professional skier Anna Segal across the valleys, forests, boulder fields and summits of BC, as she explores her affinity with seasonal change and the role it plays in connecting our modern lifestyle to the natural world. The ephemeral seasons that punctuate our year come courtesy of the Earth’s elliptical orbit around the sun, and the tilt of its axis – 23.4 degrees. This poetically phrased short film explores the transformation of mountain landscapes and how humans are both internally and externally affected by these changes.

📣 Climate change chat and pro athlete panel.

🎁 Epic giveaways and a silent auction (Avalanche safety kits from Backcountry Access, YETI coolers customized by WKNDRS, Arc’teryx jackets + much more).

⛷️ Connecting with community and getting stoked for all things snow!

 
The best part? All proceeds from this event are being donated to MEC’s Outdoor Impact Partner, POW Canada.  

An organization of enthusiasts, pro athletes and industry brands uniting the outdoor community, Pow Canada advocates for policy solutions to climate change.

With 13 chapters across Canada, their members organize to address regional climate issues at the government level. Since POW was founded in 2018, MEC has supported their initiatives through fundraising and membership campaigns and events like this one. 

New for 2023: MEC Edmonton, Kelowna, Kitchener, Ottawa and Quebec City will also have events – follow @mec for more information.
