Baldface Serves It Up!

Feb 23

The KMC ad sales crew were lucky enough to spend the weekend of Feb 20th at Baldface lodge shredding some of their delicious terrain.

Steve Ogle Reports From Sol Mountain Touring

Feb 19

Although located in the central Monashees (normally a non-Kootenay zone), Sol Mountain Lodge’s owner Aaron Cooperman proclaims that his luxury backcountry skiing chalet does indeed fit within the Kootenay region, because it’s located just on the flanks of Fostall Creek draining into the Arrow Lakes. Last week I had to go up there just to [...]

Heading to Baldface

Snow’s in the forecast, and there just happens to be this great lodge not too far from our offices in downtown Nelson.

Why You Tour Contest

Feb 10

This has nothing to do with our magazine, other than the fact that we’re big fans of CMH (Hans Gmoser is a Kootenay Legend), Arc’teryx (super bombproof gear) and Greg Hill (mega badass Revelstoke ski tourer and KMC contributor). It also looks like quite the epic contest: a week of heli-assisted ski touring at CMH’s [...]

Awesome Toe Letter

Feb 4

Hi Mitchell,
Great Mag. I pick it up at The White Room, [...]
