SilverStar Serves Up Winter Adventure: B.C.’s 3rd Largest Resort is Only Five Hours Away

Get Out There, Skiing/Snowboarding, Snow Sports / By Derrick Knowles

The Spokane area is ringed by enough destination ski resorts (not to mention the dozens of cool, out-of-the-way mom and pop ski hills) to keep local skiers and snowboarders busy exploring new places for years. SilverStar Ski Resort, a few hours north of the border near Vernon, British Columbia, is one of those amazing destinations […]

Skiing Like a Lady at Alpine Finishing School

Get Out There, Skiing/Snowboarding, Snow Sports / By Out There Venture

Ski boots planted firmly into the side of a snowy cliff, I test the rope by slowly easing my weight back into the harness, a completely foreign feeling to me especially in full ski gear with my skis strapped to my pack. My fear of heights makes it difficult to focus. Trusting that my partner

49 Degrees North Change is coming to 49 Degrees North. In fact, it is already underway.

Find Epic Fall Colors at Sullivan Lake

Get Out There, Hiking / By Jon Jonckers

At 1,291 acres, Sullivan Lake is the largest natural lake in the Colville National Forest, but the lake isn’t necessarily the main attraction. Brilliant day hikes all around the lake entice hikers and trail runners every fall season because the changing leaves are so intense. Many of the hikes in that area feature a variety

Traversing the Selkirk Crest: A Guide to Backcountry Swashbuckling

Get Out There, Hiking / By Ammi Midstokke

“This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” the Captain says over the sound of his trekking poles dragging along the trail. As we are not even to the hard part yet, I say some encouraging stuff about how doing hard things makes us better people, stronger of character, and slightly tougher than a Girl

Camping, Trail Running, and Mountain Goating in Rossland, BC

Destinations, Get Out There, Running, Travel / By Erika Prins Simonds

If you’ve ever doubted that Canada is better at everything, consider this: In Canada, Sausage Egg McMuffins come with lettuce and tomatoes. I discovered this early on a Saturday morning in Trail, British Columbia. Just an hour later, I’d be setting out on a 25K trek up and down the summits of Red Mountain Resort

Fall is the Perfect Time for a Selkirk Loop Road Trip

Road Trips, Travel / By Aaron Theisen

I arrived at the trailhead to St. Leon Hot Springs, in British Columbia’s Arrow Lakes Valley – unsigned and accessed by a rough logging road, like many such Canadian destinations – just as a local painter and her guests were leaving. Soliciting suggestions for camping nearby, I ruled out their previous night’s accommodations, wherein they

Inland Northwest Lake Guide

Get Out There / By Amy McCaffree

Upon arrival, you first inhale deeply, as your eyes absorb the panoramic view – blue water reflecting sun rays, green trees, brown and gray rocks under your feet, or maybe sand, and perhaps distant mountain peaks. You exhale and then you feel it: burdens lifting, stress dissipating. And whatever encumbering metaphorical baggage you had been

For over 20 years, this mountain town nestled in the lush and rugged Selkirk Mountains has been holding a festival in honor of an avid cyclist who helped shape the mountain bike community it thrives on.

Off The Map: Find Hidden Trails and Beaches Close to the Border at Christina Lake, B.C.

Get Out There, Hiking / By Aaron Theisen

A mere two and a half hours from Spokane, southern British Columbia’s Christina Lake lies off the radar of many shore-goers heading to its Priest and Pend Oreille kin. Sitting in a small valley where the forested Monashee Mountains begin their ascent out of the arid Canadian Okanagan, Christina Lake lays claim to being one
