The Flyte Backpack on the Franklin River

Backcountry skiing, along with being an exhilarating sport, is a way to appreciate untouched, snowy landscapes that may usually remain out of reach for outdoor explorers. Backcountry skiing isn't for the fainthearted – it requires elements of both mountaineering and skiing – but the scenes can be well worth it. If you are ready to adventure beyond the well-travelled slopes and take your adventuring to the next level, Mont Adventure Equipment is here with a guide to help you get started with the right equipment.

Your outdoor or rock-climbing experience is largely determined by two factors: your climbing ability and your choice of indoor & outdoor climbing shoes. At Mont Adventure Equipment, we understand that the best outdoor climbing shoes are not just about the brand or the price but about finding a perfect match for your feet and climbing style. 

After the western light had faded I got my camera out and planned on doing a little astro photography. Pleasantly, my first image showed a cheery red and green glow to the south. The Southern Lights were active!
