Saturday, July 9 From 2-8 @ Nexon Beach, Squamish BC *where downtown begins* Hevyfest is a way of promoting the art of slacklining.

In the last decade its appeal has moved from just climbers, to all sorts of adventurous sport types. Slacklining has become world wide, and Squamish is a great place to showcase it as we are The Outdoor Capital of Canada.

Backcountry Snowcats is a Cat Skiing and Snowboarding operation hidden in British Columbia’s South Chilcotin Mountains just to the north of Whistler.

The weather here is colder and drier than nearby Whistler (30 kms away) but gets all of the same storm cycles. It snows on average 10m (32ft) of cold dry snow per season accumulating up to 3.5m (11.5ft) base, making the terrain prime for skiing and riding.
