Panorama at 50 Panorama Mountain Village (panoramaresort.com) in British Columbia, Canada, turns 50 this winter and will be celebrating with themed events. "We feel it's important to pay homage to the resort's founders and the rich ski culture that has made Panorama Mountain Village what it is today" said Rick Jensen, President and CEO of Panorama. For the second year in a row, the mountain has received a major makeover, with the trail crew expanding and reclaiming further terrain in the autumn over more than 113 hectares of terrain in Taynton Bowl, Extreme Dream Zone and the popular Sun Bowl.
Fog-Free Goggles When you get hot during snow sports, your lenses fog up, but a new range of anti-fog cloths, from German lens manufacturer Rodenstock (rodenstock.co.uk), aim to provide a quick solution. The Rodenstock FogFree has the premium coating Solitaire Protect Plus and is simple to use – just breathe on each lens, wipe with the FogFree cloth for about 10 seconds, and pop the cloth back into its resealable cover. Each can be used 20 times and the fog-free effect starts immediately.
