WHAT WEATHER?

EDITOR’S PICK

Getting off the beaten path requires gear that will help you brave the elements. Rain, wind, snow, ice and sunshine can all be expected in the Canadian Rockies – sometimes in the same day! Do you have the right gear to keep you going? For the largest selection of The North Face outdoor clothing in town, visit Wild Mountain (p 85). This outerwear is developed and tested by top athletes, so it's guaranteed to perform. Shop Marmot, Ruffwear and Smartwool at Everest Outdoor Store (p 86) and get ready for whatever summer weather rolls into town. For the best biking gear, including an extensive selection of rentals for the whole family, check out Jasper Source for Sports (p 86). -KATE BARKER

MOUNTAIN STYLE

Whether you’re exploring the mountain oasis, or relaxing in town, the mountains have a certain casual style. Get comfortable with ethically sourced clothing from Canadian owned and operated Lolë (p 85). Their athleisure lines are perfect for comfort, travel and the great outdoors. Find all your favourite brands as well as great advice in Jasper’s clothing boutique, Mountain Air Clothing (p 85). You’ll find the right fit and the right style at this unique spot. -KB

HIDDEN GEMS

Tucked away in Jasper is Our Native Land (p 86), a trove of original native art and one-of-a-kind pieces.
