The Last Wish of a Cultural Giant

Lloyd "Buddy" Wesley leaned over the table with a sad grace as he sorted through his papers in preparation for his weekly Stoney language and culture class at Canmore’s artsPlace. I stood in the doorway on that warm evening in early June 2021, and watched him for a moment, taking him in.

Friday Flick: The working life of a big-mountain guide is about looking out for others and keeping them safe and reassured. Freeride skier and guide Sam Anthamatten—born and raised in Zermatt, Switzerland, in the shadow of the Matterhorn—found his way of life in guiding and helping his community.

“The tent swayed gently in my dreams, like a lullaby. After nearly three months on this expedition, these rhythmic pulses of the fabric walls were infused into my subconscious. Wind spilled off the cliffs, holding the ice out to sea.

@jeffholden_ is one of the most iconic skiers in Whistler history. He found lines no one else would see, dropped cliffs no one else would consider. A true artist, seeker, and soul skier, Jeff took a few victories on the 1998-99 International Freeskiing circuit, won the overall championship and, with the help of one of the most-remembered Powder Magazine covers of all time, was launched into ski superstardom. After a some non-ski-realted injuries and the loss of a hugely important mentor and friend, Holdy stepped off the ski-star express and retreated into a path of healing, studying, and discovering how to best mentor young freeskiers to better and more safely express their own passions, while always remembering to “keep the vibe high.”
