at Mustang Powder Lodge near Revelstoke, found themselves out of
winter work in 2020 due to the pandemic. Deciding to take upcycling
to new heights, they turned their hobby into a business. Kimberley-

Interior designer Susan
Parker made her first face
covering in March 2020, from
her husband, Dave Williams',
underwear (bear with us).
Williams owns Vancouver-
based 2Undr, and his samples
became the first of Parker
and son Johnny Negrin's

mountain-ready bandanas
are made from leftover
factory fabric. Online

SHAPE SHIFTERS s
Prior Manufactory in Whistler
is a staple for Canadian-made
snowboards–the late and much-
loved founder Chris Prior built
his first one in 1989, changing the
game thanks to his background
shaping windsurf- and surfboards
in Barbados. Prior still makes
all of its snowboards, skis and
splitboards in-house. Online
