Kootenay Mountain Culture Magazine (KMC) is about inspiring people: to climb, to ski, to ride, to think, to create, to explore the world and themselves. Ultimately, our goal is to motivate readers to interact with mountainous landscapes and their associated cultures. We do this by celebrating, documenting and investigating mountain lifestyle in the Kootenays and abroad. We inspire people by ensuring everything associated with our publication is produced respectfully, beautifully and intelligently. Our readers expect quality and originality in the writing, photography and design of KMC, and we always deliver.

Our team is made up of extremely talented and creative people who share a passion for living in the mountains. The magazine is based in Nelson, British Columbia. We publish twice a year (winter and summer), hold annual events like the Backyard Booty, and run a publishing house on the side, KMC Productions, which has clients like the National Post and Kootenay Rockies Tourism.
