CREATIVE OUTLETS

EDITOR’S PICK

Jasper may be a small mountain town with strong outoor vibes, but it also has an impressive art scene! Local and regional artists often showcase their talents at the Jasper Art Guild gallery (p 75). This gallery focuses on artists at the beginning of their career, meaning there are a lot of hidden gems to be found! At Mountain Galleries (p 76), seasoned artists capture the essence of the wild and sacred places around Jasper National Park. Find paintings, sculptures and traditional works from renowuned Canadian and First Nations’ artists. Learn from the pros when Mountain Galleries hosts their frequent Artist in Residence program. -KATE BARKER

TUNE IN TIME

You may be ready to hit the slopes, but is your gear ready to take you there? Proper ski tuning can completely change your experience on the hill. From ski tuning to edge sharpening, boot fitting, binding adjustments and more, visit Totem Ski Shop (p 81) or Jasper Source for Sports (p 81). Hit the hill knowing you're about to have your best run yet! -TAYLOR JAINE
