Yay!” – Christina, nativeeyewear.com Surefoot Ascent Liner “Imagine a memory foam mattress in your alpine touring boot and you’ve got the all new Surefoot Ascent Liner. Developed by Surefoot employees who wanted perfection, these liners are lightweight, comfortable, and fully customizable to all boots and feet. Alpine touring is niche, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have top quality liners that help you ski longer, ski better, and ski more comfortably.” – Sam, Surefoot Whistler Village, 604.938.166 3 surefoot.com/whistler Merrel Chameleon 7 Mid Waterproof Hiking Boots “Like it’s namesake, Chameleon 7 is adaptable and nimble but still built for heavy packing. It has enough flex for faster paces but still yields the grip, support and protection you need. Strategically placed Vibram rubber pods boost traction without adding weight, and these boots are waterproof too.” – Morgan, Mountain Equipment Co-op, Vancouver & North Vancouver. mec.ca
