A Kootenay Mountain Culture Shout out!
The Stoke is highlighted in the Stash section of the newest edition of Kootenay Mountain Culture, which many of you should already know and love. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, KMC is a free biannual magazine full of amazing photography, compelling, funny and interesting articles, and an all-around highlight of why life in the Koots and surrounding areas is the best in the world.
Pick it up at your local ski shop - you won’t be able to put it down. Flip through the pages and you’ll no doubt recognize names and lines. The cover features a snowy downtown Revy scene complete with buried car, all-too-familiar last winter; local photographer Bruno Long has a spectacular shot on p. 27; there’s a pretty l’il full-page ad for Revelstoke’s own Trapper Snowboards; legendary skimo athlete Melanie Bernier gets a mention in a story on ski mountaineering sufferfests; Gord Spurgeon has a two-page spread shredding RMR slackcountry and local snowboarding legend Joey Vosburgh is shown slashing a big turn in Rogers Pass, both shot by Ryan Creary.
RMR is featured throughout for being generally awesome; there’s a great article on a recent trip to Chile by all-star good-time-haver Chris Rubens; Trapper Snowboards and Big Bend Skis are both in an article on home-grown sticks, and the Canadian Avalanche Centre (based in Revy) gets a few mentions as well. Awesome. We’re a small town with a big mountain and and even bigger heart!
