Feet Banks – Editor, MLCM

Feet Banks

Feet Banks is a writer, editor, and (shitty) filmmaker from the west coast of Canada who appreciates large open spaces, shit-talking around a campfire, horror movies, books, naps, people who try new things, and pumpkin pie. He has been chipping away at the underlying truths, greater goods, and seedy underbellies of life since the late 1990s and is still not entirely convinced Western Civilization isn’t on the verge of collapse—if it can happen to the Inca, it can happen to us… Act accordingly.

When she’s not creating layout, she hangs with William, her one-year-old play buddy. She still chases powder.

Susan Butler – Managing Editor, ML Coast Mountains

Susan Butler

Susan’s lifelong love of the outdoors can be attributed to her childhood in Northern Ontario, where skiing during minus 38-degree winters and canoeing during black fly-infused summers gave her a hardy soul and a strong constitution.

After completing an MA in applied english at the University of Waterloo, a love of snowboarding lured her to Whistler, where she took a more fulfilling job as Chief Pizza Toppings Engineer at a local cafe. Her career path has since taken many turns, and whether she is wearing the hat of writer, editor, graphic designer or entrepreneur, Susan brings enthusiasm and well-earned years of experience to the table. Susan enjoys van camping, crossword puzzles, and sharp pencils.

The winter that just keeps on given-er! 🤘#mountainlifer
FRIDAY FLICK 💥 This past March, speed mountaineer Benedikt Böhm @benediktboehm rocked a five-hour sea-to-summit expedition up Mount Parnassus in central Greece. Starting at sea level on his road bike at the village of Itea on the Gulf of Corinth, he climbed up to an altitude of 2.414 metres. #linkinbio to watch the film!
I had no idea what to expect from this trip, neither from bikepacking, a fancy term for cycle touring and a sport I’d never done before, nor from Kyrgyzstan, a country most people cannot find on a map. Carl, who I’d only just met recently after moving to Canada—I’d flagged him down after backcountry skiing after seeing his Montana license plate—had invited me on this trip while on a mountain bike ride. I said no. A few weeks later I figured, “Why not?”
The @rab.equipment  dynamic Cirrus Flex is a soft, lightweight hybrid synthetic insulation for mountain-friendly layering. Keeping you warm and perfectly suited to journey in the mountains. #TheMountainPeople #WeAreRab
"@normhann and I lashed paddleboards to the roof of his truck and headed north along the Island Highway, towards Telegraph Cove. Norm had invited me to tag along on a commercial paddleboard group he would be guiding in the Broughton Archipelago. Despite a long history of SUP expeditions, I harboured some reservations."
To date, more than 6,000 people have summitted Everest, the highest point on Earth at 8,848.86 metres of elevation above sea level. And only a tiny handful of those climbers have been Black.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the rad moms out there! Here’s our Art Director & Head Designer @calypsodesign getting cozy with some sharks. #mountainlifer #mothersday
Making core memories on the trails ✨ #mountainlifer
Just in time for Mother’s Day, check North Shore Betty—a short film about 73-year-old Betty Birrell and her hard-charging life in southern B.C.
In his new book, bestselling author Doug Peacock—loner, iconoclast, environmentalist and a U.S. Special Forces medic in the Vietnam War—reflects on a life lived in the wild, considering the question many ask in their twilight years: “Was It Worth It?” In this excerpt, Peacock discusses his sighting of the elusive Kermode bear and the fate of their coastal old-growth forest habitat in B.C.
