2 months ago | skicanadamag.com | Ryan Stuart

Reading Time: 2 minutesThere are a lot of questionable named days on the calendar: we’re looking at you International Backup Day. But on February 21 there is one we will be observing: National Ski and Snowboard Day.
So This Is Le Massif

Reading Time: 7 minutesGETTING TO KNOW CHARLEVOIX’S ODDBALL SKI RESORT ONE VIEW—AND ONE TASTE BUD—AT A TIME. A paintbrush has touched this place. Soft reds tint the early-morning sky, the snow in the fields is white, the St. Lawrence River a cold navy blue. Pretty cottages in pink and yellow line the road, smoke from chimneys curling into the air. And in the little town nearby, signs in spidery script hang over the sidewalks: Auberge, Gallerie, Café, Dépanneur. So this is Charlevoix.
Back Where it all Began

2 months ago | skicanadamag.com | Adam Bisby

Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen Canadian Mikael Kingsbury won two gold medals in freestyle skiing this weekend (his 93rd and 94th World Cup victories) he did it in a place that’s steeped in the history of his sport. Freestyle skiing has left an indelible mark on Waterville Valley, just as the New Hampshire resort has profoundly influenced the sport’s evolution and growth.
BUYER’S GUIDE - BOOTS

Dec 3, 2024 | skicanadamag.com | Ryan Stuart

Reading Time: 6 minutesOOOH, IT FITS SO GOODWe haven’t seen so much innovation in ski boots since, maybe, Bob Lange introduced plastic shells in 1962. Since that time we’ve cranked them tight with an assortment of buckles that all worked in roughly the same way. No longer. The BOA dial, introduced in four boots last year, will dominate shop walls this winter. Salomon, Atomic, K2 and Fischer are all expanding their initial BOA offerings and Technica and Nordica are joining the party.
BUYER’S GUIDE - SKIS

Nov 17, 2024 | skicanadamag.com | Ryan Stuart

Reading Time: 8 minutesTo ski the glades a skier must be able to see the trees from the forest. In a way we are doing the same thing writing this buyer’s guide. We consider all the media events and launches, press releases and catalogues, marketing speak and lofty promises and spend our winter and spring hacking at the brush to find the solid wood, the stuff that matters. A big part of that is identifying the trends shaping the future of ski gear. The biggest trend is sustainability.
QUEBEC’S HIGHEST GETS BIGGER

Sep 29, 2024 | skicanadamag.com | Marie-Piere Belisle Kennedy

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Quebec City area has more great ski spots than it has distinct names for them, apparently. The familiarly-named Massif du Sud resort is making a bid to be as well-known as its well-regarded cousin located to the north in Charlevoix. New ownership and $2.3 million in investments are seeking to put the other Massif on the map. This independent ski area is expanding by 40 percent with the opening of a 50ha backcountry sector called 5th Dimension.
TAKE OFF... TO THE POWDER RUNWAY

Sep 13, 2024 | skicanadamag.com | Adam Bisby

Reading Time: 8 minutesDROP INTO CANADIAN ROCKIES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FOR THE IDEAL GATEWAY TO BIG-MOUNTAIN SKIING ALONG B.C.’S POWDER HIGHWAY I hate to eat and run, but having lingered too long at Pedal & Tap I have little choice. It’s a perplexing après-ski situation: The only taxi service in Kimberley shut down in 2022, which leaves a free BC Transit bus as the only alternative to hiking back to my accommodations at the base of the eastern Kootenay town’s namesake ski area.
SENDING OUT AN S.O.S.

Sep 10, 2024 | skicanadamag.com | Conor Mihell

Reading Time: 2 minutesYou don’t need to be planning to ski the Wapta Traverse to take an interest in emergency communications. Just ask the lost skier who used the AirFlare app to be found down the wrong drainage on the side of a foggy Soldier Mountain in Idaho last season. Here are tried and true—and new— options for getting help when you might be out of bounds, and out of range. Satellite comms have offered peace of mind when beyond the range of cell towers for 15 years now.

Fischer inserted Titanium—odd for a touring ski—amid the carbon and paulownia wood.
