(from the Shawn Lamb Archives at the Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery)

This four-seasons backyard playground produced world-class athletes, built a tourism economy, and hosts adventurers from around the world.  This winter, the Nelson Museum, Archives & Gallery presents Elevation – an ambitious exhibition exploring the vast expanse of the mountains in the Kootenays. 

Beyond celebration, Elevation explores the resounding environmental impact, the elitism of mountain sports, land and resource use, and more. Elevation presents a balanced approach to understanding mountain life.
