MOUNTAIN LIFE - Coast Mountains | Fall Winter 2018

140 MLCM FALL/WINTER 2018 MSR Access Touring Tent “Welcome to your new home away from home. This four- season, two-person tent is made with painstaking attention to detail and built to be the ultimate shelter for backcountry skiers, splitboarders and snowshoers. Lighter than a mountaineering tent but warmer than other backpacking tents, this beauty is quick to set up even with gloves on—and at just over four pounds is light enough for multi-day slogs without sacrificing too much on space and safety.” –Natalie, Escape Route, Squamish. 604.892.3228 escaperoute.ca MSR Evo Snowshoe Kit “If you're one of those rare mountain souls who doesn't slide downhill on the snow, here's your your ticket to winter exploration — all in one easy-to-use kit. The DynaLock™ Trail poles are light, durable and a huge help for balance in deep snow or steep slopes. The 'shoes'? Bomber of course, they're made by MSR. And they didn’t skimp on the carry pack either —it’s fully featured with a removal seat for lunch stops (key to a dry ass!), primo organization and hydration-bag compatibility. Head for the hills.” –Larry, Escape Route Whistler, 604.938.3228 escaperoute.ca Women’s Burton [AK] GORE-TEX 2L Blade Jacket “Look stylish in the lift line and stay dry on the pillow line— this jacket features storm-sealed GORE-TEX® technology with fully-taped waterproof construction combined with warmth and breathability.
