Product Review: Halti Lumista Jacket

We’ve all been there. Ripping along the trail on a blue bird day, ideal tracks, good company, and being surrounded by the most luscious scenery and fresh air. The perfect Saturday.  As you admire the stunningly beautiful surroundings, your comrade makes a quick and snappy remark about how outdated your jackets looks. Yes, it has seen better days, but you enjoy how the faded colors and homemade sewing jobs make it look rustic, well used, and mature. Besides, the jacket has been with you for years and oozes great memories. The coat has simply become your second skin.

Travelling to Ski

By: Magi Scallion

One of the greatest privileges of being a ski racer is the opportunity to travel across North America and around the world.  While I did not ever really consider this in my youth, I now appreciate the places I’ve seen; even if it just reinforces my love of my own “home” trails.

Coast Cup on Home Turf

It's nice to be back in Whistler and racing on the home snow.  It's actually amazing to be home and skiing with such great conditions.  When the team left, it was pretty barren and grim so it's great to come back to some beautiful skiing.

Thoughts on Team Cohesion

By: Paul Dupuis

What makes a successful team? Most people leap to the natural and obvious assumptions such as money, coaching staff, talent, and training regimen. All of these ideas are entirely correct, however, without one crucial ingredient, all of these concepts are meaningless: team cohesion and spirit. This is the glue that sticks all these pieces together. Although it may sound like a Hollywood sports film cliché, the simple act of teammates and Coaches working together in a productive, respectful, and supportive environment is indispensable.
