MOUNTAIN LIFE - Coast Mountains | Winter / Spring 2018

126 MLCM WINTER/SPRING 2018 Cricket Protein Bar “People have been eating bugs for thousands of years in other parts of the world and western civilization is finally catching on. Crickets are 65% protein by weight (alternative protein is so hot right now) and have a full amino acid profile.Which means they are ideal for muscle growth and repair and the bonus is they require a fraction of the resources compared to conventional animal proteins. Coast Protein is a BC-based company that mixes cricket protein with local whole food ingredients and the results are delicious (and good for the planet).” – Amelie, Mountain Life Helly Hansen Women's ODIN Veor Down Jacket "Are you one of those girls who's always cold? Don't put up with that any longer. The human body instinctively knows how to regulate temperature, so by studying this process and taking cues from Momma Nature, Helly Hansen has designed an elegantly simple (and super-warm!) solution that allows the jacket to breathe without losing heat.Wear it by itself or under a hardshell on the extra wet days and you'll be snug as a bug.” – Elena, Helly Hansen Store,Whistler Village. 604.932.0142 hellyhansen.com Prior Slasher Splitboard "The Slasher takes inspiration from its bigger brothers the Powstick and Fissile. A short radius, longer pow nose and small swallowtail primes this board to slay all terrain from top to bottom, in true Whistler fashion. It allows for tight carves, stays on top with ease, and will even rail on groomers. Aimed at powder connoisseurs of the finest order, the Slasher is the perfect choice for the deepest of days." – Ben, Prior Factory, Function Junction, Whistler. 604.935.192 3 priorsnow.com Salomon Drifter Mid Hoodie “This reversible hoodie has two different face fabrics that deliver a very different look and level of warmth.Wear the shiny side out for maximum warmth and wind protection, wear the stretch side out for a casual look that allows for slightly less warmth.
