Hiking the James Callaghan Trail up and over Gros Morne Mountain in the summer is a popular activity. Likely the most popular trail in Gros Morne National Park but it’s even better in the winter! There are less people there, the views are just as amazing (if not better), and the trail is easier to…
If you’re like me, you work inside, at a computer all week. Friday rolls around and you’re itching to get outside and stretch your legs. Well, night skiing at Marble Mountain is the perfect place to get outdoors for Friday night fun! Peace out from work by 4pm and grab you’re gear! Night skiing for the…
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s been a new pair of goggles making their debut in my pics recently: Zeal Optics Tramline googles in Night Moves!! My brother, Taylor, needed a new pair of goggles for his ski season here in Western Newfoundland where we get wildly variable winter weather and still keep playing outside. I new right…

I’m done with waiting and using work, relationships and other ‘commitments’ as excuses, so this winter I’m doing it! Over the last few years, more and more of my…
