    In reply to: Lyann posted an update in the group Gatineau Park Rock Climbing Hi, I’m new at climbing and would like to gain more experience. Looking for a partner who is familiar with the routes in the Ottawa/Gatineau area. View

    Hi Lyann!

    I’m not a climber either, but your two best bets are the Alpine Club and the folks at Vertical Reality, who know everything about climbing in the area!

    Have fun! :)

    t’s fifteen days until your big ski vacation and the long-range forecast is calling for sun and not the powder you’ve been dreaming about. Should you be worried? Hardly. Meterologist Joel Gratz explains why in episode 4 of Snow Science:

    This is the new run at Mount Ste-Marie. It’s on the South side of the hill and is all natural snow (ungroomed). You must be accompanied by an instructor and/or ski patrol. To do this run you must sign up at the front desk. It starts at the top of the Vanier chair and goes down the South side. It brings you all the way down to the golf course.…[Read more]

    Take a look at these Revolights: motion-sensitive lights that clip on to your bike wheel and project light forward and backward! This project got off the ground after a successful fundraising campaign on kickstart, you should check out their original fundriasing video, too, where they show some prototypes!

    Here’s the third in a series called ”Snow Science”. This one, called ”How Mountains Make Snow”, explains how mountains can create their own weather and snow… but not so much in these parts ;)
