Canadian National team member Megan Farrell @mfarrellsnowboard started shredding as soon as she could walk, determined to keep up with her older siblings. She’s been crushing competitions ever since. Last season, the 29-year-old created some of the most memorable moments in her career, placing fourth in women’s parallel slalom and eighth in giant slalom at the FIS Snowboard World Championships in Slovenia and first in slalom at the Austrian Nationals.
Heading out of a weekend full of “woooooos” and high-fives 🗻 #mountainlifer #liveitup
“With the non-stop snow falling in Squamish, it’s easy to let your mind wander into daydreams of skiing down to sea level. The obvious line of the North Gulley on Siy’ám’ Smánit (The Stawamus Chief) has drawn my attention every time I have climbed Angels Crest and in the North Wall. But would it go?!? Or would we just be scratching down rocks.
“That’s the way it worked at Skiis & Biikes. Everyone did everything. When you saw something that needed to be done, you did it.”
It was a blisteringly hot week in late June 2021 when a group of artists set out for plein air painting on the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park. Their mission was to paint scenes captured a century before by Banff-based artist, Catharine Robb Whyte. By revisiting locations frequented by Catharine, these artists could bear witness to the changing mountain landscape and offer their own interpretations. Their experience will be chronicled as part of Rockies Repeat, a documentary, exhibit, and digital storytelling capsule—and brainchild of Canmore filmmaker, Caroline Hedin @the.secret.birder.
At first glance, these boots are like eye-candy—sporty, rugged kicks you’d see in a fancy window display at an outdoor retail shop. But after lacing up the @keencanada Women’s Revel IV Polar Boot—I might add that I’m not so ‘fancy’—I find myself practically living in these things when I’m outside. From casual walks to chopping wood to building snow forts, they seem like they can handle anything I throw at them.
