pinned post!
Since we’re posting more regularly here and it’s a new platform I figured we should introduce ourselves. This is Gary. He’s an 11-year old domestic longhair cat and together we adventure around western Canada, mostly in the Rocky Mountains.

Sometimes it’s not clear what photo is on Gary’s collar. It’s just 10 year younger, and somewhat tinier Gary.

With the rise of AI, Gary often now gets accused of being slop. I guarantee you he’s not. I really am strange enough that I taught my cat to ski, and will hike with him to the tops of mountains.

Opurrations section chief Gary would like to give a shoutout to all the fire crews and staff today on International Firefighter Day. A special shoutout goes to his logistics friends who keep the treats flowing, too.

It’s the time of year when people get into trouble when they venture out into deep snow on hot days and get stuck. It’s not quite summer hiking time just yet - avoid needing a rescue and give it a bit more time.

People often ask me how I know if Gary is having a good time or not. He’s not shy about how he feels. Like when he has to share his Jeep with the dogs.

I joke that Gary’s only life skill is being pretty. At least he’s good at it.

Why shouldn’t your cat live a life of luxury? The Jasper Park Lodge even gave Gary his own jacket when we stayed there

That snow is a lot of Gary’s deep! In the mountains, you need to pay attention to what’s above you, too. Avalanches can run a long way, especially in spring when the snowpack is at its deepest.

The ski hill knew Gary was around and made sure to put up the appropriate signage.

And Gary said let there be powder and there was powder. And Gary saw that it was good.

Gary recently met Hugo, one of the stars of the Disney film Togo. Hugo was very excited to meet Gary. Gary was not so excited to meet him.

Last week we had to say goodbye to Duke. 14 years doesn’t feel like nearly enough. He was a very good boy and I miss him terribly.
