Thanks @CBC for broadcasting the Tragically Hip National Celebration without ads. But never, ever, mute Gord Downie’s voice again. Ever.
If he says he’s tired as fuck, let him say it.

these lines are truly immortal.
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever

The passion Warren Miller had for skiing was truly something special ❤️
Does anyone else have good memories of hearing that classic final line? #WarrenMiller
Watching @BCLegendsCA with Carol Taylor interviewing artist Joe Average. This is the best series on tv.
Request: I’d love to see @rodmickleburgh interviewed.
Canada’s first FIS ski races of the season kicked off at Mount Sima, Whitehorse Yukon. Honoured to be the Chief of Race for the second Aurora Cup!

77 years ago today was Larry Kwong Day at Madison Square Garden. Artist Amy Qi recreates the moment Larry received the Key to New York's Chinatown. Get the whole story in The Longest Shot: How Larry Kwong Changed the Face of Hockey, coming in February 2024 from @orcabook!
My ski racing coaches set me up for life with an incredible variety of bands to know and follow. I’m blessed.
1988 Canadian Championship Slalom results. A whole bunch of awesome people here. Nice skiing Shane McConkey! Adding some GNAR to the festivities I’m sure.
My hero. And the beauty of the phrasing of "Marathon of Hope".

Kids may talk less to parents as they grow older. Skiing makes it different. Anticipating the thrill of coming fun, kids are more willing to share, providing parents more opportunities to connect. Long-distance trips bring the family closer.
#Skiing is bonding.

Super Sky Point to Gordon Lightfoot, one of the greatest goddamn singer-songwriters of the 70s. Probably knocking back a few beers in heaven with the Edmund Fitzgerald boys tonight. #RIP

He sat on top of the mountain.
He shared what he saw.
For so many around the world, they knew our stories because of him.
Rest in peace Gord.
Golden forever.
