This year Brubeck is an event sponsor of the Masters World Cup, hosted by the Alberta World Cup Academy in beautiful Canmore, Alberta! 

In addition to being an event partner, we are happy to announce that we are the proud sponsors of skiers, Simon Haynes and Cathryn Rowley who will be competing at the event.

Simon, 50, is a geologist who lives in Calgary, Alberta, will be competing in the Classic and Skate techniques. Cathryn, 45, is a pediatric occupational therapist at the Child Development Centre, will be competing in the 15km skate, 10km classic and 30 km skate races.

We sat down with Simon and Cathryn to talk about their love for skiing and their preparation for the event. 

But this condensation can be dangerous in the cold. At those temperatures, it is likely that the sweat in your clothes will freeze. Which is why you need base layers that will quickly absorb moisture from your skin and evaporate moisture. But at the same time it needs to not cling to your skin or itch.

Brubeck uses only cruelty-free Merino wool in our products. We do not partner or support farms that carry out mulesing procedures for sheep. Mulesing is the surgical practice of removing strips of skin around the breech or rump area of sheep. 

Though the methods to protect the sheep from insect-borne diseases are costlier, they do not involve any bodily harm. We would rather bear those costs than put sheep through such pain and suffering.

Tips for better game time success! Don’t get cold during and after training. If your body is putting a lot of energy into staying warm, it might not have the energy to fight off viruses that are going around. These past few months, I’ve been testing out gear from my new base layer sponsor, Brubeck, and I’ve found their Extreme Wool line is especially good for racing and training in cold temps. As someone who used to have to wear multiple base layers to stay warm while training, this has been great change for my daily routine. Click to keep reading
