Fall is a great time of the year to mountain bike in Corner Brook. Is there a better way to combat the shorter days and cooler temps?! Learning to mountain bike has been quite the adventure! Mountain biking isn’t a new sport in western Newfoundland but you had to be pretty hardcore to ride here…
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…
At last! I spent my first days skiing in the backcountry of Gros Morne National Park! Happy to report that I am now one of the people coming back glowing and raving about new lines and awesome runs;) The weather was perfect, all my gear worked and it was amazing – really and truly amazing….

As I talk with fellow outdoor enthusiasts, we all agree that October (even November!) is the best time to adventure and spend time in the woods. There is something in the air,…
