Farewell parties and all. Sometime between your 10

Farewell parties and all. Sometime between your 10th and 10,000th turn of the season they can start to blur together, no matter the awareness of awesome surrounding or smiles shared. Particular face shots stand out, or certain sessions of post-coital tailgate euphoria, staring up at your tracks, beer in hand. By May and June, the friend circles have narrowed down to a delta strike force of troubled souls who can’t seem to yet accept the onset of sandals and mountain bikes. As the last of our turns grace the still snowy slopes, we say adios to our true love, careful to not take the fleeting moments for granted. Backpacks and beacons and skins and shovels are then carefully put to rest. All in their place, ready for October or November, which will be here in no time. @blackcrows_skis @patagonia_snow

A smattering of the recent revelry on the Bugs to Rogers ski traverse last week, still skiing under the influence of winter, wind, and whiteouts. It’s only a small miracle that we didn’t break the @reddigitalcinema Komodo, the drone, or @tuckerkanderson . New work coming to your living room this fall🍻, made possible by @patagonia_snow and a mighty fine crew @evans_leah @mariefranceroy @madoalpine @gearysguiding 🙏

We all have a relationship with our own bodies; on

We all have a relationship with our own bodies; one influenced, shaped, and potentially distorted by a range of societal, cultural, psychological, and judgmental forces that we consciously or unconsciously face each day. In these quandaries, it’s all too easy to feel that we are failures, that we aren’t good enough, that we don’t meet the standards set by society, or our own minds.
.
@kornhausersauce and @marleyblonsky are two courageous women who have chosen to confront and speak out about these complex dynamics; sharing their experiences as people moving through life in larger bodies, and as self proclaimed ‘fat cyclists’.
.
We are honored and excited to share this film which seeks to capture their story and challenge the notion that there is any one type of ‘right’ body to have as a human being. While it’s a very small look at a massive issue faced by millions or perhaps billions of people across the world, we hope that in some small way it inspires a shift in the mindset of those who see it towards acceptance and recognition of health and beauty that can be found within the form that contains us, regardless of how it looks or how much it weighs.
.
Thanks to @rideshimano for making this film possible, and to everyone who contributed.

Basecamps in January are an acquired taste. It’s also much easier to believe the forecast when it’s 2am and you’re digging out by headlamp for the 2nd time. The promised 50cm materialized in a REM cycle, or in the course of a few weird dreams, nearly vacuum sealing us alive in our tents under the weight of new snow. For 6 days we plied the fruits of a magical, hard-as-fuck-to-get-to valley of some of the most ancient old growth in all of British Columbia, home to some of the best tree skiing on our home planet. Particular cedars are rumored to be over 1000 years old, and, at a stretch, some may touch on the times of the Romans. The 5 years of dreaming of this place seem infinitesimally small. And we’re already dreaming of the next valley... @blackcrows_skis @patagonia_snow // @mr.neature @soglephoto @mattcoteRevelstokeStud

Christmas came a little early this year...

We are excited to see Made in the Mitten taking home a @vimeo staff pick- the true gold standard of filmmaking in our modern 21st century world. Congrats to the team for taking this one home!
