December 31 2014 - Snowmobiling Lang Creek
With the recent warm weather and rain, the trail into Gorman Lake is a bit icy on the corners on the lower section but once you
It doesn’t get better than Nordic skiing at Dawn Mountain
Full disclosure – I’m a novice cross-country skier. I shuffle more than glide and I always seem to be expending way more energy than should be required to move myself along the trail.
But I sure have a lot of fun doing it!
Shopping in Golden is golden
Craft market and local shops a delight compared to big city malls
A local’s look at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort
Kicking Horse is known for many things – its title as ‘the Champagne Powder Capital of Canada’, its abundance of varied terrain, its-easy-to-get-to location, its laid back charm. Even though this winter hasn’t brought the volume of snow we’re normally used to, the conditions here are still better than most everywhere else -- in the West at least.

Snowmobiling Upper Holt
Whether we choose to enter the backcountry on foot, bike or motorized vehicle, we are accepting the risk that something could break down and leave us stranded. Some breakdowns can lead to epics that are talked about for a long time, like coming out in the dark, overnighting in weird places or even requiring a helicopter ride. Blowing the track off a snowmobile in the wrong place could make for a bad time, but luckily for me it couldn’t have happened in a better spot.
ATV Access to Adventure
Sometimes the road ends before the destination; this is where you leave your car or truck behind and the adventure begins.
Safety In The Backcountry
A journey to powder through mountainous terrain complete with adventure, views, fresh air, ideally good company and finished wi
