The Last Wish of a Cultural Giant

  • April 18, 2022
  • Mountain Life Media
Lloyd "Buddy" Wesley leaned over the table with a sad grace as he sorted through his papers in preparation for his weekly Stoney language and culture class at Canmore’s artsPlace. I stood in the doorway on that warm evening in early June 2021, and watched him for a moment, taking him in. I could tell something was bothering him; he was carrying the weight of the world on his back.

Anuximana: The Heart Speaks in Colour

  • April 11, 2022
  • Mountain Life Media
Anuximana is Nuxalkmc, from the Nuxalk Territory—the land surrounding the rivers and coastline near Bella Coola, B.C. At 21 years old, she’s just one year shy of her ten-year career as an artist. When most of her peers in school were cutting class, she was absorbing knowledge of an ancient craft through elders, and making it her own.

Not everyone knows about her (which is kind of crazy considering she had a combined 24 World Cup podiums in 1980 and 1981), but anyone who knows anything about the history of freestyle skiing will have certainly heard the name Stephanie Sloan.

The way normal people cross the Pacific Ocean in a 37-foot sailboat from Hawaii to San Francisco, explains my neighbour Joel Jacques, is to crew up the boat with six to seven sailors, set the autopilot at 90 degrees straight east, wave to your buddies on the dock, and head for North America.
"I’ve been fortunate enough to spend more than 35 summers here in the Sea to Sky Corridor and I can wholeheartedly say one of my favourite weekends of the year is coming to Squamish at the end of August— The Arc’teryx Climbing Academy."
Have you ever noticed how loss leads to renewal? The 1997 closure of Banff’s buffalo paddock is a good example. Spreading over approximately 30 hectares and surrounded by a 2.5-metre-high wire mesh fence, it held anywhere from ten to 107 captive bison during its century of operation. Conveniently located close to the town of Banff and right beside the Trans-Canada Highway, it was a favourite stopover for locals and tourists to gawk at North America’s largest land mammal from the comfort of their car. Where else in the park could you be guaranteed such a wildlife experience?

FRIDAY FLICK! 🎥
@norcobicycles has cracked the code to creating a full suspension mountain bike with top-end performance for advanced riders that’s also perfect for aspiring newcomers.
LIVE IT UP EP 13 IS OUT NOW! In 2005, with $20,00 earned the hard way (a car hit him whilst riding his bicycle), @robinesrock embarked on a 23-country round the world tour with no real plan except to say yes to everything and let the wierdness lead the way. Along the way, he basically invented travel blogging (for better or for worse), kicked off a storied television and publishing career, and became one of the most storied and interesting dudes we know.
