      Where are you from and where do you live now?

      I’m from Halifax/Sackville, Nova Scotia, but I’m currently living in the Canadian Rockies.

      Your favorite mountains?

      The Canadian Rockies and the Bugaboos in British Columbia.

      Your home ski area?

      Mostly backcountry skiing in the Canadian Rockies. If I head to a resort, it is typically Lake Louise.

      What was your first experience with skis?

      I didn’t have the opportunity to ski when I was younger. It was expensive and wasn’t an option, so now I am trying to make up for it. My first turn was a memorable one when I was 31 years old. In 2006 we planned a ski mountaineering trip to climb Mt Logan 5959m, Canada’s highest peak, and I figured I should try to learn to ski first. My first turn was between crevasses on the Athabasca Glacier headwall at the Columbia Icefields with an expedition-size pack. Fun times!

      What are your favorite sports/hobby/activities?

      Backcountry Skiing, Climbing, Trail Running, Mountain Biking, and enjoying the company of doggos.

      Why Majesty?

      I predominantly backcountry ski, the touring lineup for Majesty is great, and the fact that Majesty also has kickass bindings and skins is a great fit.

      How long have you been with Majesty?

      2022-23 is my third season on Majesty skis.

      Any cool accomplishments with Majesty so far?

      Last season I got to ski some fun lines like Mt Diadem in the Canadian Rockies and the Chockstone Couloir. Before that, dug a close friend out during a successful companion avalanche rescue from 4m.

      What are your future plans with Majesty?

      Hopefully to ski more and continue to improve my abilities on and off-piste. I’d love to land a 360 this season.

      Where are you from and where do you live now?

      I am originally from Quebec city and I moved out west 13 years ago. I now live in Revelstoke British-Colombia.

      Your favorite mountains?

      I have a big soft spot for the Selkirk mountains, because they are so majestic, but I also really enjoy skiing in the Monashees because the terrain is so playful.

      Your home ski area?

      I grew up skiing the ice of Mount Ste-Anne and Le Massif just outside of Quebec city.

      What was your first experience with skis?

      My parents put me on skis when I was 3 years old, and we would always try to go on ski trips every winter.

      What are your favorite sports/hobby/activities?

      If I’m not skiing, you can find me riding my bike in the summer or in the ocean somewhere, attempting to surf…still a work in progress.

      Why Majesty?

      When you spend 100+ days on ski, the idea of a really light ski that can handle just about anything sounds really appealing.

      How long have you been with Majesty?

      2022/23 is my 1st season. Super stoked!

      Any cool accomplishments with Majesty so far?

      Not yet, but I can’t wait to make Majesty skis my go to quiver for all the adventures to come this winter.

      What are your future plans with Majesty?

      I am planning on helping more women get into the backcountry by giving them the knowledge they need to push their limits, trust their abilities, and also spread the word about Majesty

      Where are you from and where do you live now?

      I’m originally a nordic skier from Minnesota but moved to Squamish British Columbia about 15 years ago and haven’t looked back since. When I arrived here, I realized that there was no need to stay on the hamster wheel of groomed XC ski trails and so began my foray into ski touring and ski mountaineering!

      Your favorite mountains?

      Hard to beat the Coast Mountains. They’re as rugged as it gets, with glaciers and granite all within sight of the ocean. Access is hard but the reward is high as well. Of course the Alps, Tatras, and the Himalaya are amazing but my home range is hard to beat…

      Your home ski area?

      I suppose technically Whistler-Blackcomb but even closer is the ski touring zone above the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish. It’s rad to be able to drive less than 10min to be putting my boots on and then skinning up to amazing ski mountaineering terrain.

      What was your first experience with skis?

      XC skiing as a kid with my dad. I remember him taking me out on the golf course on what was surely the coldest, windiest day of the decade. I hated it. Luckily a cool older friend of mine was into skiing and it turned out my dad was right!

      What are your favorite sports/hobby/activities?

      I suppose I live a fairly one-track life. In the summer I love rock and alpine climbing and do a bit of ice climbing in the winter but mostly just as a reminder that skiing is better. I’m enjoying more and more working on my house and tinkering with renovations!

      Why Majesty?

      For a long time, I tried to ski on the absolute lightest equipment I could for any given day. That’s great to be light and fast but it gets tricky sometimes when you find yourself undergunned. More recently, I’ve tried to find the equipment that skis the best and is the highest performing (albeit a bit heavier) for any given day. Fun and functional rather than fast and light so to speak. I find Majesty skis hit this balance perfectly. They’re not the lightest racing skis but they are light considering how well they perform. I want the best equipment and I’m lucky to have found it with Majesty!

      How long have you been with Majesty?

      2022/23 will be my second full season using Majesty skis.

      Any cool accomplishments with Majesty so far?

      Last year my Majesty Superwolf skis accompanied me on several first descents of ski lines around BC. They also joined me on a trip through the Himalayan mountains in Northern India. Pretty successful first season overall!

      What are your future plans with Majesty?

      I’ll be continuing to seek out first descents in Canada this season with a focus on my home mountains. I’m also looking forward to a spring expedition to the Waddington Range in Northern BC. We’ll see what the year brings! I’m also excited to get connected with the designers in Poland and would love to get to visit the team and do some more skiing in the Tatra Mountains!

      Where are you from and where do you live now?

      I am originally from Elmira, New York and currently live in Wilson WY.

      Your favorite mountains?

      My favorite mountains are the Tetons. The amount of freeride terrain, with the amazing steeps and deep snow makes the Tetons like no other.

      Your home ski area?

      My current home mountain is Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, but I will always call Greek Peak Mountain Resort in Virgil NY home.

      What was your first experience with skis?

      My First experience with skis was at Swain Resort in upstate NY in 2005 when I was 5 years old. After that day, I started skiing at Greek Peak Mountain Resort and skied there every chance I got.

      What are your favorite sports/hobby/activities?

      When there is snow you won’t catch me doing anything else besides skiing. In the off season I love working as a multi-day river guide, but also enjoy mountain biking, climbing, and whitewater kayaking.

      Why Majesty?

      I work with Majesty for a few reasons. The first is because we have a similar values and focus on skiing, backcountry and freeride. I also enjoy being with a smaller company. Everyone in the company that I have meet is extremely stoked on skiing, the brand, and seem to really enjoy being with Majesty.

      How long have you been with Majesty?

      2022/23 is my first season with Majesty.

      Any cool accomplishments with Majesty so far?

      Nothing yet, just got my first Majesty skis mounted and can't wait to start skiing them. More on this soon!

      What are your future plans with Majesty?

      My future plans with Majesty are to continue to coach the next generation of freeride athletes, try and move up the rankings of the FWQ in North America, and working towards becoming a AMGA ski guide. Also checking off a few Jackson Hole classics.
