Camp Frogwater: You Can Fly in Any Time You Like, But You Might Never Leave…

The idea of flying into your own private rainforest surf beach is looking pretty good right now, social distancing at its finest—but back in 2015 the idea of landing a plane on sand was still new when Mason Mashon and Rory Bushfield delivered this story. Mason and Bushy are always up to something awesome and when I’m at my desk working I often find myself sucked into their Instagram feeds, daydreaming of all the good times these two consistently dig up. (Bonus read: I also wrote an in-depth profile on Bushy, one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever spoken with.)

It was a blisteringly hot week in late June 2021 when a group of artists set out for plein air painting on the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park. Their mission was to paint scenes captured a century before by Banff-based artist, Catharine Robb Whyte. By revisiting locations frequented by Catharine, these artists could bear witness to the changing mountain landscape and offer their own interpretations. Their experience will be chronicled as part of Rockies Repeat, a documentary, exhibit, and digital storytelling capsule—and brainchild of Canmore filmmaker, Caroline Hedin @the.secret.birder.
At first glance, these boots are like eye-candy—sporty, rugged kicks you’d see in a fancy window display at an outdoor retail shop. But after lacing up the @keencanada Women’s Revel IV Polar Boot—I might add that I’m not so ‘fancy’—I find myself practically living in these things when I’m outside. From casual walks to chopping wood to building snow forts, they seem like they can handle anything I throw at them.
How do you train for a season that may not happen? And in sports like alpine racing where stress is already high on competition days, how does the added stress of global shutdowns change their outlook? If you’ve been struggling with heightened stress and anxiety in the past two years, know that you’re not alone.
