In our summer 2023 issue, we interviewed Mike Leahy of @shibbytime who is a sponsored rider of electric unicycles living in Oregon.
He’s also one of the only people on the planet who absolutely sends it on an EUC. But he’s not always successful. Although third time's the charm.
To read our story about Leahy who regularly hoons through bike parks and occasionally jumps school buses on his electric unicycle, check out: https://kootenaymountainculture.com/mike-leahy-electric-unicycle-athlete/

We were up at Valhalla Mountain Touring on a photo shoot recently and got stoked about the upcoming ski season watching owner Jasmin Caton and her crew brush runs and finish up the new wood-fired hot tub.
Jasmin is a beauty human and we want to do her a solid by letting the world know she still has spots available at VMT during the Christmas break from Dec 17 to Jan 7. We recommend you work off your tofurkey gluttony with some insanely good backcountry skiing and aprés in the hot tub and sauna, one of the biggest we’ve ever seen at a lodge.
➡️ Full-week and half-week options are available. Visit https://vmt.ca/winter for more deets.
🎥 Oh, and all footage in this reel was taken during December trips to VMT. Yep, it’s that good.

Kokanee Beer Movie
Ten years ago, Labatt Brewing Company experimented with its first feature-length film and based it around the Kokanee beer brand. "The Movie Out Here" was shot in Fernie, and although panned by critics, the company saw it as a success when it increased the market share of its beer by 6%.
Since then, however, the brand’s marketing has languished, perhaps because it’s a miniscule drop in the keg for global mega-corp Anheuser-Busch InBev, which now owns Labatt. For more about Kokanee beer and why there isn't a Kootenay mountain on its label, visit: https://mountainculturegroup.com/why-isnt-a-kokanee-mountain-on-the-kokanee-beer-label/

Nine Winters Old
Still a classic, especially this line: "The problem is most of school is in the winter. And it's impossible to think about school when it's snowing outside."
Kootenay Coldsmoke Powderfest kicks off today at Whitewater Ski Resort and tomorrow night we’re hosting the “Stories To Tell” event at the Nelson Civic Theatre and showcasing the work of videographer Bill Heath, who is responsible for this film. We'll also be featuring the world of photographers Kari Medig, Matthew Tufts, and Doug Le Page as well as artists and writers.
There will also be lots of prizes and giveaways. Doors open at 7:30. Tickets on sale at the Whitewater Office, 602 Lake St., Nelson.
More info here: https://mountainculturegroup.com/kootenay-coldsmoke-powderfest-2023/

Who knew watching a cougar pee could be so fascinating?
If you haven't already done so, we highly recommend you check out the Vimeo channel dedicated to trail camera footage taken in and around Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. From peeing cougars to playing otters, we can't get enough of the footage being captured by wildlife biologist Joanna Siderius.
Here's the link: https://vimeo.com/kokaneecreeknaturecentre

Comment below of you used your fingers to pretend to ski on the passing terrain while sitting in the back of your parent's car.
This clip was taken from Imagination, filmed in Nelson, BC waaay back in 2018 by Sherpas Cinema and starring athlete Tom Wallisch.
Such a gooder.

Long live Planet Dano.
Dano Slater was an incredibly talented skier, freeride coach, and a legend. He was also our friend and we miss him.
Yesterday, Whitewater Ski Resort honoured his memory by naming a run after him called "Planet Dano."
In our Winter 2022/23 issue, editor-in-chief Mitchell Scott pays tribute to Dano in his Backside column and it’s now available online here: https://mountainculturegroup.com/our-farewell-to-legend-dano-slater/
Dano Slater: 1974-2022
