Erich LeidumsErich has built his lifestyle around skiing in Fernie, British Columbia, where winter adventures are one of his top priorities. He grew up skiing in Ontario and spending time outdoors, and that foundation has shaped how he's now raising my own family in the mountains. A core part of his skiing life now includes skiing alongside his wife and their three children. As a family, they spend significant time on snow together, generating lots of quality family time putting gear to the test. Erichs's kids ski hard, have fun and are becoming more and more skilled at using the whole mountain as their playground. Erich is the creator behind That Mountain Life, an outdoor family platform focused on mountain living, resilience, and raising capable, grounded kids. "We are stoked to be Gearhub ambassadors, sharing real-world experience and insight from a family that truly lives in its gear." |

Jake PlantJake Plant is a Calgary-based skier with roots in Nelson, BC, where steep terrain and deep winters helped shape his approach to the mountains.
