Adventure & Canada are synonymous with one another. You can’t get far in Canada without experience some sort of adventure. Be it ploughing through back country powder in the rocky mountains, or surfing the east coast of Canada, or throwing yourself from planes and cliffs in order to experience maximum adrenaline. Canada has plenty of adventure!
A Weekend in Quebec City for Red Bull Crashed Ice
Crashed Ice has sparked my curiosity for years. The speed and grace of hockey, the agility of ski cross, and the obstacle course like adrenaline rush you would only expect to find in a military training facility. Quebec City was no fluke choice destination for this event, it’s narrow streets and steep hills make it seem [...]
Snowboarding in New Brunswick at Crabbe Mountain
Many people make the foolish assumption that snowboarding and skiing is done only out west in the Rockies.

So just to be consistent, I’ve decided to share a video by Tourism Canada of one of my favourite locations in Canada. Tofino is a surf town [...]
Interview with a Moose Network Travel Guide
I recently had the opportunity to sit down for a couple Red Beers (Clamato + Beer, wuddup!) with Rachel Huber, one of Moose Networks Canadian Travel Guides. She agreed to answer a few questions about what she does and offer up some tips for backpackers interested in traveling Canada. I should also mention that I’ve [...]
Roaming on the tip of a Glacier at the Columbia Ice fields
Driving through the Rockies in the warm Canadian summer, it can become all too familiar to see snow & ice, to the point where it becomes as habitual as seeing the clouds surrounding these gargantuan mountains. However, making contact with snow can be rather difficult, as it’s typically a couple thousand feet too far out [...]
