The ski bum has changed, but this is no reason to be melancholy. The ski bum has evolved. And this is a good thing for the culture of snow sports. While the niche aesthetic of the grassroots ski bum was intoxicating to me as a kid, that lifestyle was perched atop a nest of reverie, dishevelment, and a proletariat aura. These days there’s a renewed sense of responsibility and respect from
Badlands, 1990s.   COURTESY BLUE MOUNTAIN RESORT ARCHIVES
the ski bum. There’s a constant dialogue around sustainability, authenticity, and the feasibility of snow culture as it exists today.

LIVE IT UP!

Get out there and find your own slice of outdoor heaven. Pitch a tent, light a fire, crack a beer and watch the world go by.

Now that we find ourselves at home again—this time as an entire society, isolated—I’m
filled not with fear or panic, but gratitude. Guarded gratitude, with a bold asterisk of concern,
but gratitude nonetheless. The longed-for pace has returned.

Winter in the Blue Mountains gets wild and wicked, and we're here to bring it to you in all its snow-encrusted glory.

It's a good time to be alive!! Flip the pages, get stoked..LIVE IT UP!!

Bikepacking, the Sea Otter Classic hits Blue, Conserving Bruce, Giving Rivers, Porcupine Ridge, Heli-Hiking Bliss and a whole lotta eye candy to get you stoked and out there!

At a few girls’ weekends, I’ve been determined enough to build my own fire, even when my friends weren’t super keen to
sit outside; I just enjoy the process and the results. It’s a simple but rewarding task. Since that night last fall
I’ve decided I like being the one to make things burn too. Maybe next time we set up camp on a canoe trip,
I’ll offer to light the fire—but I’m willing to bet my daughter will already be gathering kindling and waiting to be the one to stoke the flames.
—Allison Kennedy Davies

This year, we’ll check the forecast on the Friday
before March Break and we’ll exchange a flurry
of texts around work/life schedules. We’ll nail
down a day and we’ll head north. We don’t
know what this year’s excursion will bring, but
we’ll be as ready as we can be—armed with an
open mind, a healthy respect for the weather
and a pocketful of candy.

Every splash and play session has shaped these gals into the ultimate adventure companions. Extra socks and headlamps are standard kit in our drybags. Their curiosity and proclivity to explore the natural venues that surround them lead me to prioritize these episodes for them amidst the day-today hustle. I have beheld the roots of relationships ensue between them and the places they inhabit. They call the Bay home. They often pack out more than they pack in, picking up any garbage they can manage. Their considerations of the impact of their actions on wildlife and their environment grant a high score on my exam. For ultimately the wellbeing of the sea will ensue from the love and protection of we, to the delight of me.

Mystery and wonder exist in spades in the Great Lakes. You don’t need a seaplane or a diving saucer to discover this. To seek to understand how people and nature can happily coexist here is the discovery we should be reaching for. Let it flow.

The driving force behind what we do. The number one way we inspire. The way we want to keep you going outside, into the great outdoors, so seek photos of your own, to make your own stories, and to share your life with others. Let these images burn holes in your eyes and light a spark in your life.

ICE BREAKERS —Frigid temps, ice boulders, blow-holes: Surfing Georgian Bay in winter. Cool Runnings — Endurance athletes tackle the Bruce Trail on the coldest day of the decade. Icing on the Lake —Going deep in Fathom Five National Marine Reserve.

The OUTSIDER Issue — Monster Great Lakes Waves, Dumpsters and Dendelions on the Bruce Trail, 10 thingsd Heard in the Blue Mountain Lift-Line, Blind Boarder Shreds Again + A Whole Lotta Great Photography.

We go deep into everything this summer;   from foilboarding and SUP tripping  to the spectacular Slate Islands of Lake Superior and more. Think big, go deep.

From a perilous SUP crossing of the sixth Great Lake, to saving one of the East's highest climbing crags, The Discovery Issue takes you deep into Ontario's wild backyard and beyond.

Every day, without a lot of effort, I discover an aspect of my home that was previously unknown to me; all it takes is a short walk or paddle into the pockets of wildness remaining in southern Ontario. It could be an ice formation that disappears come March, a wizened cedar tree that geminated before Champlain’s first voyage, or a strangely shaped Escarpment rock that weathers at a rate slow beyond human scope; nature continuously reinvents itself and offers up new perspectives. They’re available to anyone, even if they may seem small and not very “extreme.” Perhaps by communicating their beauty we can inspire others to look again at the irreplaceable bounty in our backyard.

Surfing the Great Lakes, Colossal MTB terrain in Newfie-land, eagle eyes and creatures in the wild and small stealthy cabins — this issue is packed with heaps of autumnal Ontario goodness.
