Record Breaking Snowfall in Canada North Eastern BC received a record breaking 55 centimeters, or about 21 inches, of snow over between Tuesday and Wednesday. Cities like Fort Saint John suffered from power outages, multiple-car wrecks, and cancelation of public transportation. Things should be looking up, though, as the rest of their week is forecasted to be sunny and near 60 degrees. Stay safe Canada. Weather Helena Guglielmino | October 27, 2017 2 Comments

The Welsh couple was celebrating their first year of marriage in Yosemite. They loved the outdoors and committed themselves to a life of adventure, and a life together.

How to Cope with Injury I’ve always been jealous of people who love sports that aren’t dependent on season. Baseball, for example, might have a season, but enthusiasts can still throw a ball around in the winter. Snowboarding and skiing are over once the snow is. It is precious. And it is a burden. My life during the snowboarding season is different to my life […] Helena Guglielmino | September 27, 2017 1 Comment
What the Hell is up with HAPE? Mammoth Mountain. January 14th. I was sitting in a gondola being carried to heaven: I was going to the best bluebird day of my snowboarding career after a week of storms dropped around 20 feet of snow. After I landed, I skated to an untouched spot, arriving breathless and exhausted. I powered through and dropped in. The snow was magical, […] Helena Guglielmino | September 16, 2017 0 Comments
