MOUNTAIN LIFE - Coast Mountains | Winter Spring 2019

110 MLCM WINTER/SPRING 2019 Landyachtz Revival Series Birch Please Skateboard “Revived from the bottom of Lake Superior, the wood from this board was originally cut over 100 years ago to build Britain’s newest colony. Thousands of old growth logs where harvested and floated with this intention, however many of these logs sank before they could be used. We’ve sourced this wood because of its beauty and reclaimed nature. Made in Kimberly BC, this limited edition run of 500 “is a must have if you live in the mountains, on the beach, or in the city.” –Yosuke, TMC Freeriderz, Whistler Village. 604.932.191 8 tmcfreeriderz.com Editor’s Pick: Spot X 2-Way Satellite Messenger “Technology is no substitute for knowledge and experience but it’s always nice to have a Plan C. The Spot X allows you to send SMS and email messages from the backcountry and includes pre- programmed SOS emergency signalling and remote tracking features. While you technically could delay-chat with your Tinder date from the summit, the Spot X shines primarily as a safety device and provides peace of mind to help you focus on the task at hand; having fun in the mountains.” –Feet, Mountain Life . findmespot.ca Aparent Softshell Jacket “Hand-made to order in Pemberton, these jackets are constructed with fabric made from recycled plastic bottles and feature the work of local photographers and artists.
