2023 Buyer’s Guide

2023 Buyer’s Guide The folks who make and supply our gear have navigated some nasty patches lately, but skiers can look forward to better conditions ahead. There’s a reason we ski with our weight centred and hands forward, it’s so we’re ready for the unexpected. The next icy patch, the groomer divot, the deep mogul … More »

2022 Powder Buyer’s Guide

2022 Powder Buyer’s Guide Big air, steep lines, deep snow and untracked slopes have always been the aspirational aspects of skiing. They looked like fun in the movies and magazine pictures, but always seemed out of the skill level or reality for most of us—until recently. We still need the skills to manage and safely … More »

Buyer’s Guide 2022 Intro

 With all the gloomy predictions, who would have thought that last winter would prove to be an excellent one for the ski industry. Ontario excepted.

Most backcountry ski … More »

Knucklehead Lodge

Folks in small-town B.C. just love to build stuff. In Powell River, a former forestry boomtown located on the aptly named Sunshine Coast, the Knuckleheads Winter Recreation Association (KWRA) consists of hardy, gregarious and highly industrious outdoor enthusiasts of both the motorized and non-motorized persuasion. The KWRA has been building attractive, low-impact cabins for overnight … More »

K2 Disruption MTI Alliance

Turny and awesome appeared in just about every tester’s notes on the Disruption MTi Alliance. “Awesome power in the turn,” said Louise Draper. “Beautifulcarving ski on groomers and just as good off-piste,” wrote Jen Young. This ski was a test favourite, whether cruising or charging, groomers or bumps, expert or advanced skier. Inside this winning … More »

Lake Louise Summit Platter RIP

“No beginner terrain off this lift” the redundant sign at the bottom read. It didn’t matter if it was read before a liftee offered the cold plastic circle to put between your legs—no beginner would make it to the top of the Summit Platter anyway.

According to the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA), more than a million of us in North America bought either an Ikon or Epic pass, accounting … More »
