“…the urgent issues we must act on immediately are, first, mining, and second, (plastic) waste. These are not distant problems - they are right in front of us..." -BLUD UPTD Management Unit for the Marine Conservation Area (KKP) of Raja Ampat Islands, during an online public meeting. The impact is real. Raja Ampat is in danger. Plastic waste is already choking its crystal-clear waters and now, mining threatens to scar the very landscapes we call paradise. ➡️ Coral reefs which some of the richest on Earth are struggling. ➡️ Marine life is at risk. ➡️ The Last Paradise might not stay untouched for long... But it’s not too late. Let’s support sustainable travel and protect what makes Raja Ampat magical. Let’s keep it wild. Let’s keep it untouched. #KeepRajaAmpatUntouched #LiveaboardIndonesia #RajaAmpat #TheLastParadise #SaveRajaAmpat #SustainableTravel #PlasticPollution #RajaAmpatLiveaboard
We caught up with ACMG guide Jan Neuspiel between trips to Bella Coola, and asked him about his custom powder skis. They feature west coast raven design created by our favourite local K’omoks and Kwakwaka’wakw artist, Karver Everson. So you might be wondering, who is Jan? Jan has been guiding and teaching for more than 35 years all over the world with a particular focus on the Himalayan region for about half that time. He spent six years living in Nepal (he speaks Nepali!) and eleven years running a helicopter skiing operation in northern India. Since 2006 Jan has also been the Head Guide for Bella Coola Helisports' heliskiing operations in the Mount Waddington area of the BC Coast Range. Closer to home, Jan founded two of Vancouver Island's most familiar alpine institutions: 1) Island Alpine Guides, which is Vancouver Island's premiere mountain school and guide service. 2) The Vancouver Island Avalanche Centre, where he acted as lead forecaster until recently. It's a homegrown and grassroots effort supported entirely by local businesses and users. They provide avalanche safety information for Vancouver Islanders who recreate in the backcountry in winter, predominantly via the Vancouver Island Avalanche Bulletin. His breadth of experience, his thoughtful kindness and his spirit of adventure make Jan a natural leader. He is a true inspiration and we are so thankful for his influence on the alpine culture here in our community, and for his positive contributions to mountain culture at large.
