THE all-nEW BMW 6 SERIES CaBRIOlET.DESIgnED FOR DRIVIng.

Introducing the all-new BMW 6 Series a vehicle of such stunning lines, it was not so much designed as it was sculpted. Shadow and light play in curves that flow the length of the vehicle, suggesting movement that is both graceful and powerful. A forward-surging stance is conveyed by the pronounced slant of the kidney grille, behind which breathes a 400hp V8 engine. Inside, the finest styling meets the most advanced technology in the form of ConnectedDrive, which includes Mobile Office among its many features. The result a cockpit designed for the driver, and one that delivers the most exquisite and intelligent performance of any vehicle on the road today.

I live in New York. Best moment while shooting this story Driving around in a farm truck looking for landscape shots. Best drink in the best bar A Viva Escobar at the Top of the Standard, in New York. Best food town Charleston, South Carolina, for its refined local food (and the charcuterie at McCradys they raise their own pigs). When Im not shooting for enRoute, I contribute to W, The Fader and Details. Je vis New York. Meilleur moment pendant la photographie de larticle Conduire un camion de ferme la recherche des plus belles vues. Meilleure boisson dans le meilleur bar Un Viva escobar, au Top of the standard, New York. Meilleure ville o manger Charleston, en Caroline-du-sud, pour sa dlicate cuisine locale (et les charcuteries de mcCradys, o le chef lve ses propres cochons). Lorsque je ne collabore pas enRoute, je prends des photos pour W, The Fader et Details.

I live in Brooklyn. My assignment, in short Playing model and making heads turn during a photo shoot in Hangzhou, China. Best mo-ment while shooting this story Hundreds of strangers asking for pictures with me. Best travel buddy Noah Kalina, the photographer I assist. People think hes Zach Galifianakis. When Im not posing for enRoute, I assist the artist Mitch Epstein and work on my own photo projects. Je vis Brooklyn.

Letter of the Month La lettre du moisKudos for an exceptional December issue. Puttin on the Spritz made me think about how I would categorize, according to a scent palette, the various Toronto neighbourhoods I visited recently. And the Oscar Goes To had me reminis-cing about my trip to Mumbai to rediscover my roots. Aqua Fresh, with the collection of chic retro swimwear, was a feast for the eyes. (I hope it ignites a new fashion trend at the beach this summer!) And while reading Global Is the New Local, I was so impressed by the idea of using bamboo to build sustaina-ble bicycle frames and support farmers in Africa that I ordered a Bamboosero bike as a Christmas gift. Im looking forward to next months magazine!Sanjeev Naik Arlington, Massachusetts

In-drIve entertaInMent

Travel is a fantastic way to open childrens minds to the

world, and between family vacations, Ive found a good

way to keep my 11-year-old son, Alex, interested in travel:

enRoute. Our weekend drive to the cottage is made more

enjoyable with the help of our airplane seatback set-up,

complete with a neck pillow, Alexs favourite pack of gum, a

customs declaration form and the latest issue of enRoute

all reminding my son of flying to a vacation destination. The

wide variety of entertaining topics, including the Flight Deck

page, is a sure bet to keep him occupied, and the bilingual

articles provide a great medium to practise reading in

English. Every weekend, my son can sit back, relax and

enjoy the journey.

Louis Lemaire Saint-Bruno, Qubec

IMage conscIous

I recently flew Air Canada and had the opportunity to read

the January issue of enRoute. Eamon Mac Mahons

photography of the Bahamian beaches in Leisure Island

was absolutely breathtaking and made me want to purchase

and enlarge some of those images to hang on the walls in

my home. To me, they are works of art.

Vous avez trois jours de cong. Que diriez-vous daller en Chine ? Javoue, cest une ide loufoque pour un article de voyage. Heureusement, notre collabora-teur, Jonathan Goldstein (humoriste et animateur de WireTap la CBC), na visit que le lac de lOuest, Hangzhou, un site emblmatique qui est la Chine ce que les Rocheuses sont au Canada. Il compare son voyage lart chinois du penjing ( lorigine des bonsas japonais), qui consiste crer de grandioses paysa-ges naturels miniatures . Dans cet esprit, il a lagu son itinraire jusqu extraire la quintessence du lieu.

En quelque sorte, cest un peu de cette faon que plusieurs voient les vacances. Il est de plus en plus rare quon mette bout bout les deux, trois ou quatre semaines de cong auxquelles on a droit, supposer quon les prenne. (Dans nos bureaux, on part gnra-lement en vacances dune semaine ou moins.) Mais ce nest pas forcment mauvais. Des minivacances, a suffit pour refaire le plein, et a rduit les obligations et les prparatifs. Et cest fou tout ce quon peut faire lorsquon na rien au programme.

Lescapade chinoise de Goldstein (p. 70) pousse lextrme cette tendance aux vacances allges en montrant comment optimiser un bref sjour. (En pratique, vous feriez mieux de prvoir un dtour Hangzhou lors votre prochain voyage Shanghai.) Son article, bien entendu, ne se prend pas trop au srieux, mais jose croire quil vous inspirera. Vous pourriez trouver plus raliste de faire un saut dans la paisible valle de la Yadkin, en Caroline-du-Nord (p. 64), o une poigne de cultivateurs ont troqu le tabac pour la vigne, ou de passer au Next, un nouveau resto de Chicago dont le menu jongle autant avec les poques quavec les ingrdients (p. 48).

Les microvacances, cest comme les lanternes chinoises : on les tire autant quon les comprime. Pourtant, elles font tout ce quon attend delles. Et en beaut. Voil qui est clairant. Vos commentaires : [email protected]

So youve got three days off. How about China? Granted, its an absurd premise for a travel story. And really, our writer, CBC WireTap host and humorist Jonathan Goldstein, only visited Hangzhou, an iconic spot that is to China what the Rockies are to Canada. Goldstein compares his trip to the Chinese art of penjing the precursor to Japanese bonsai which involves creating a miniaturized version of a grand natural scene. Much in the same way, he neatly prunes his itinerary to get at the essence of the place (see page 70).

This is not that far off from how many of us have come to think of our vacation time. Its increasingly rare to take your allotted two or three or four weeks a year consecutively if you manage to book off the time at all. (A typical vacation around our offices is a week or less.) Thats not necessarily a bad thing. Mini-vacations are a quick reboot, without demand-ing too much commitment or prep. And its amazing how much you can get done when you dont actual-ly have to get anything done.

I think Goldsteins little jaunt to China takes this new 100-calorie vacation to its extreme, exploring how you can optimize even the smallest number of days off. (More practically speaking: Tack them onto your next trip to Shanghai.) The result, predictably, isnt all that serious, but hopefully it is still inspiring. Much more doable might be a getaway to the Yadkin Valley in North Carolina (page 64), where a cluster of tobacco farmers have switched to grape-growing, or a trip to Chicago to try out Next, a new restaurant that plays not only with ingredients, but with culin-ary eras as well (page 48).

A micro-vacation is like one of those collapsible Chinese lanterns when you expand it, you cant imagine how it took up so little space. Still, it does the job admirably. Beautifully. And theres comfort in that. Write to us: [email protected] PH

I recently participated in my first meeting of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives. A major theme of the gathering, which convened top executives, politicians and government officials, was the private sectors leadership role in driving job creation and economic growth. That the CCCE supports this notion is vital, as its membership inclu-des executives from 150 leading Canadian corporations and entre-preneurs who administer a combined $4.5-trillion in assets, with annual revenues exceeding $850-billion.

Certainly, Air Canada is doing its part. We are a major job creator, directly employing nearly 26,000 people, and supporting another 5,500 jobs at our regional partner airlines. Despite the lingering effects of the recession, we created over 500 jobs last year, and this year we anticipate hiring 500 more people. These are skilled, well-paying jobs that provide benefits and wide opportunity for training and advancement exactly the kind of 21st-century jobs Canada needs.

But Air Canadas employment footprint is even larger. We deal with more than 4,000 suppliers across the country, and economic models indicate that our airlines direct economic impact totalled $8.4-billion in 2009, with indirect or induced effects resulting in an economic output of $15.5-billion, which supports an additional 64,400 jobs. If you add up all the effects traditional, secondary and catalytic our estimated aggregate employment impact is more than 125,000 jobs.

While Air Canada is already creating jobs and stimulating the economy, we believe that the right mix of public-policy initiatives could strengthen the entire Canadian aviation industry. Recently, the World Economic Forum ranked Canada 106th in terms of glo-bal cost competitiveness in travel and tourism, noting, for example, that differing fees and taxes mean that a visit to Canada costs $160 more than a visit to the United States. Measures that would strengthen the industry include negotiating more bilateral air agree-ments to open markets with other countries in cases where both sides benefit, and taking steps to lower airport and other costs for Canadian carriers at home.

Typically, airlines are thought of as economic drivers in terms of bringing business people together, carrying tourists between regions and countries, or moving cargo. And while connecting Canada and the world in this way remains Air Canadas primary goal, in fulfilling this mission we are also important contributors to the growth and development of the Canadian economy. Write to me: [email protected]

Jai rcemment particip ma premire runion du Conseil canadien des chefs dentreprise (CCCE). Lors de cette rencontre entre cadres su p rieurs, politiciens et reprsentants du gouvernement, un des princi paux thmes tait le rle prpondrant du secteur priv dans la cration demplois et la croissance conomique. Il est essentiel que le CCCE soutienne cette notion, car il compte parmi ses membres des di ri geants de 150 grandes socits canadiennes et des entrepreneurs qui, ensemble, administrent 4,5 billions de dollars dactifs et gnrent des revenus annuels de plus de 850 milliards.

Il va de soi quAir Canada apporte sa contribution. Nous sommes un im por tant crateur demplois comptant prs de 26 000 employs, sans oublier les 5500 employs de nos partenaires rgionaux. Malgr les effets persistants de la rcession, nous avons cr plus de 500 emplois lan dernier et prvoyons recruter 500 autres personnes cette anne. Qualifis, payants et assortis davantages sociaux et de nom breuses occasions de formation et davancement, ces emplois sont exactement de ceux dont le Canada a besoin au xxie sicle.

Mais lapport dAir Canada en matire demploi ne sarrte pas l. Nous traitons avec plus de 4000 fournisseurs au pays et, selon les modles conomiques, lincidence directe dAir Canada totalisait 8,4 milliards de dollars en 2009, gnrant des effets indirects ou secondaires de 15,5 milliards de dollars et 64 400 emplois supplmentaires. Si on combine lensemble des rpercussions conomiques (clas siques, secondaires et catalytiques), notre contribution globale slve 125 000 emplois.

Mme si Air Canada cre des emplois et stimule lconomie actuellement, nous pensons que certaines initiatives gouvernementales pourraient renforcer lensemble du secteur canadien de laviation. Le Forum conomique mondial a rcemment class le Canada au 106e rang mon dial en matire de comptitivit des cots du voyage et du tourisme, faisant notamment remarquer quen raison des taxes et des frais divers, une visite au Canada cote 160 $ de plus quaux tatsUnis. En vue de renforcer lindustrie, on pourrait ngocier plus daccords bilatraux mutuellement bnfiques sur le trafic arien permettant douvrir dautres marchs et prendre des mesures afin de diminuer au pays les cots aroportuaires, entre autres, des transporteurs canadiens.

Les socits ariennes sont gnralement reconnues comme un moteur conomique, car elles runissent les gens daffaires, font voyager les touristes et acheminent le fret. Cest ainsi que nous remplissons notre principale mission relier le Canada et le monde , et ce faisant nous contribuons aussi largement la croissance et au dveloppement de lconomie canadienne.

Cocktail menus are getting personal with choose-your-own ingredients. At the Negroni Bar in New Yorks Lincoln, diners pick from an assortment of spirits, bitters and vermouth then decide whether they want it straight up, on the rocks or sparkling.

Down in tribeca, Ward IIIs Bespoke Cocktails list lets you select everything from flavour (fruity, spicy) to texture (effervescent, creamy). And in santa Monica, the Market Menu at Copa dOro, featuring organic juices and fresh herbs like rosemary and sage, could be mis-taken for a salad bar if not for the dozen spirits on offer.

Good Dog features your recurring character and onscreen alter ego George Findlay. Would you ever play someone not based on yourself? I cant act! I can play myself. Theres a certain timing that would be difficult for me to duplicate. Would George be a good travel companion?No, he would be terrible! Im not a bad travel companion because Ill try a lot of stuff, and I understand that when youre travelling, you need to throw money at things. If youre too careful about spending too much, then you create tension that wrecks the trip. Whats the most interesting spot youve travelled to?The place Ive had the most surprises in is probably Paris. The city has so many unusual art installations things that arent on tourist lists. One time, I was walking through the Marais district, and I saw workers in a courtyard setting up a huge steel sculpture of an elephant standing upside down on its trunk. I started

chatting with them, and they invited me to the opening party that night! Which city would make the best setting for a film? Rome would be the best because the food is good, the city is pretty and its history of cinema is obviously interesting. I once had an idea about a guy who wants to shoot a movie in all the locations Fellini used there. Paris isnt too shabby either. The French make movies in a sensible way. They dont have to film under unbeliev-able restrictions and work hours of overtime. They have nice long lunches. They drink wine. They shoot until five oclock at night, and then they all go home.

How would you define your approach to comedy?Without sounding too precious, writing comedy is simply about looking for the truth.

Good Dog met en vedette George Findlay, votre alter ego lcran et personnage rcurrent. Pourriez-vous incarner quelquun qui ne soit pas inspir de vous ?Je ne sais pas jouer la comdie, mais je peux tenir mon propre rle. Autrement, il y a un sens de l-propos que jaurais de la difficult reproduire.

George serait-il un bon compagnon de voyage ?Non, il serait affreux. Moi, je ne suis pas un mauvais compagnon de voyage, car je suis ouvert la nouveaut, et je suis conscient quen voyage, il faut dpenser. Si vous craignez de trop dpenser, a cre une tension qui gche tout.

Quel est le lieu le plus intressant que vous ayez visit ?La ville qui ma rserv le plus de surprises est sans doute Paris. On y trouve tellement dinstallations inusites qui ne figurent pas dans les guides ! Une fois que je me promenais dans le Marais, jai aperu des gens en train dinstaller dans une cour une norme sculpture en acier,

un lphant se tenant sur sa trompe. Jai engag la conversation et ils mont invit au vernissage le soir mme !

Quelle ville ferait selon vous le meilleur dcor de cinma ?Je penche pour Rome : on y mange bien, cest une belle ville, et puis, bien sr, elle a un intressant pass cinmatographique. Jai dj eu une ide de film sur un type qui veut y tourner une production dans tous les lieux o Fellini a lui-mme tourn. Paris nest pas mal non plus. Les Franais font leurs films de faon raisonnable. Ils ne simposent ni contraintes dmentielles, ni heures supplmentaires. Ils prennent de belles grandes pauses pour dner. Ils boivent du vin. Ils travaillent jusqu 17 h et puis tout le monde rentre chez soi.

Comment dfiniriez- vous votre approche de la comdie ?Au risque davoir lair un peu prtentieux, crire une comdie, cest partir la recherche de la vrit.

Spring FlingJoin in on a Western Canadian alpine institution this spring by hitting the slopes for fine late-season

snow and legendary celebrations.

pring skiing conjures up images of bikini tops, wineskins and 1960s-era protest songs. Or perhaps of old-timers in lederhosen and dirndls,

reflecting the European influence that once dominated Canadian slopes. But today spring skiing has become a uniquely Canadian cultural celebration, and the grand-daddy of all spring flings on skis remains the Sunshine Village Slush Cup in Banff National Park - this Victoria Day weekend marks the 83rd annual.

Back in 1929, Cliff Whyte and Cyril Paris, two locals who had discovered the joys of backcountry skiing in the Rockies, headed for the Great Divide where Alberta and B.C. meet, in one of the countrys most splendorous sites. Missing a cabin built for the CPRs Trail Riders, the pair were forced to spend the night in a hollow they dug in the snow.

The following morning, they discovered some wondrous ski slopes which, today, are accessed by high-speed lifts and garnished with a luxury ski-to-the-door hotel and ski countrys largest hot tub. Later that same year, other skiers whod heard of Whyte and Pariss discovery headed back up to play in the snow and spring runoff ,thus creating the first-ever Slush Cup that has become an annual tradition.

Other than glacier skiing, virtually all other ski areas in the world have long shut down by May 24; indeed, the long weekend marks the seasons end for Sunshine Village, but its one resort that knows how to close up shop with a bang. Whyte and Paris couldnt have envisioned skiers and boarders (the occasional one fully unprotected) trying to pond-skim their way across open water to the delight of the hordes. The music, parties and Bikinis for Breast Cancer fundraiser parade are other crowd-pleasing modern additions.

If late May is just, well, too late in the year to be wearing ski boots, theres plenty of spring corn snow and season-end celebrating at nearby Lake

While Sunshine and Lake Louise often provide winter-quality snow in April, over the Rockies and into the Kootenays spring is more likely to arrive earlier. Fernie, B.C. was a perfect fit for Hollywood two years ago with the filming of Hot Tub Time Machine, and the historic mining town is also a perfect setting for the 28th annual Powder, Pedal and Paddle Relay (April 9th) followed the next weekend by the 3rd annual Fernival. Play in the slush bumps all morning, bike in the afternoon and afterwards join the free party at the base area. (Ashley MacIsaac and Spirit of the West are previous musical headliners.)

Fernies rep as one of B.C.s powder meccas is well deserved, but your chances of finding light dry fluffy in April are much better heli-skiing. B.C.s got the best heli- and cat-skiing in the world, ranging from Mike Wiegeles resort at Blue River to the more private, backcountry lodge (and only four-to-a-chopper) offerings of Mica Heliskiing,north of Revelstoke. Tours go right through to April 23rd; with more sunlight and longer days, your (unlimited) vertical-skied can double in the

spring (think powder on the north-facing slopes, fresh corn snow in the sun). That means great value for the same price: all that skiing can work out to a $600 savings per day!

The biggest spring ski and snowboard party anywhere in North America turns sweet 16 this year. More people descend on Whistler-Blackcomb for the World Ski & Snowboard Festival April 15-24th than all other resorts in North America, combined. Choose your passion: park and pipe competitions showing off the biggest, baddest moves you only see in videos; filmmaker and pro photography comps that will give you new appreciation for these art forms; knockout fashion shows and happening parties all wrapped around the provinces hottest music scene and the countrys largest free outdoor concert series. The 10-day event wraps up on Easter Sunday. You can always sleep in May.
