I once read an interview with a man who, every so often, got into bed upside down. He slipped his PJs on, put his pillow where his feet normally go and slept the wrong way around… Weird, right? But this image really stuck with me. Because he did it to change perspective, shake up his […]

Climb It for Climate is about raising awareness for climate change, plus a sneaky opportunity to get into the great outdoors. Climate change is as evident in the mountains than anywhere else. The glaciers are melting, seasons are changing, it rains when it should be snowing. The world is changing in front of our eyes, […]

I am a Citizen of Winter. I live my life from season to season, often winter to winter. Life changes very quickly beyond recognition in the mountains.  For those living here year-round it means changing jobs and weather. For a lot of us seasons means moving from place to place. Living somewhere for only 6 […]

Soggy pow days, grey rainy mornings, aggressive afternoon slush. What do these three things have in common?  You get wet and very few of us enjoy being damp, let alone wet through. I hate it, it’s uncomfortable, cold and the word moist makes me cringe. It’s why I’ve always invested in a high-quality durable ski […]

Last night my wife and I sat down to watch Artifishal, Patagonia’s latest film about “people, rivers, and the fight for the future of wild fish and the environment that supports them. It explores wild salmon’s slide toward extinction, threats posed by fish hatcheries and fish farms, and our continued loss of faith in nature.” […]

Gav and I went for a meeting a few nights ago. Well I say meeting, it was more of a jog in the dark. Anyone lurking in the bushes would have seen two guys, jogging along, head torches bobbing, One Tree dog Alfie in tow, discussing what has been happening in the six weeks or […]

Many of us face a daily internal battle as we consider our own personal consumption habits, purchasing decisions and individual waste. With online searches for phrases such as “sustainable fashion” tripling between 2016 and 2019 according to McKinsey’s Apparel CPO Survey 2019. As the importance we place on the sustainability of our purchases increases we […]

Have you ever skied on unwaxed kit? You’d know it if you had. It’s like trying to run without lifting your feet off the ground. Try it, you don’t go anywhere fast. If you’re like me you’ve ironed more skis than dress shirts, or any clothes for that matter. Ski wax is the essential, invisible, […]
