'Adventure Not War' takes us into mountains of Iraq revealing a seldom seen, beautiful underbelly in a place scarred with devastation. With this film we take a new approach to war, inviting veterans to rewrite their histories in places where they served and heal wounds deeper than flesh and bone. We hope this film will help promote peace and a universal understanding that beauty can replace hatred if we strive for adventure, not war.

Colin McArthur is not an outdoorsman, but he wants to climb a mountain for the first time. For Colin and his wife Dawn, this is the busiest time of their lives. Facing the challenges of working part-time while raising their son Davis, and with a second child on the way, now is not the ideal time for Colin to attempt something he has never even dreamed of doing before. Motivated to improve his physical and mental health, and with unwavering support from his family and community, Colin sets off on a journey to discover what it takes to make meaningful change.

What exactly is cyclocross? Colin and Kelsey find out—not by ringing a cowbell in the crowd, but by suiting up for a race.

The idea for a hut system in the Spearhead Range of British Columbia was first dreamed up in the early 1960s. This was before Whistler Blackcomb even existed. (Whistler ski resort opened first, in 1966; Blackcomb followed, in 1980.) A passionate group of ski mountaineers from the British Columbia Mountaineering Club had started ski touring around the Spearhead and Fitzsimmons Ranges, often spending days linking up traverses and sleeping in snow caves along the way.
