    Finding clarity on the hills with Oakley
    Mar 3 2023
    For our season finale of Head for the Hills, Glenn Crouter and Dave Trafford are again joined by Stefan Cott, Ontario Regional Sales Manager for Oakley. They chat more about Oakley's PRIZM lense technology, what to factor in when buying goggles (including the "geometry" of your head), and how the right fit with the right type of lense can make all the difference in safety and performance. They also explore, whether you're skiing in Ontario or competing in the Tour de France, why you don't always want polarized lenses.

    Live and play all year round at Horseshoe Valley
    Feb 17 2023
    This week on Head for the Hills, Glenn Crouter and Dave Trafford are back home in Canada to sit down with Jonathan Reid (aka 'JR'), GM of Horseshoe Valley Resort and VP of Freed Hotels & Resorts.

    They chat about what goes into Horseshoe Valley's "secret sauce" for success, including major investments into the 'science' of making snow, and making it quickly. They run down the list of other things to do there if you want to take a break from the slopes (snow tubing or fat biking, anyone?), before JR then reveals why many of the world's best skiers and snowboarders will be spending time in Horseshoe Valley all throughout March.
