Look up there! How cool is this This real-time video of the northern lights?

If you've ever dreamt of witnessing the awe-inspiring Northern Lights, you won't want to miss out on an incredible opportunity waiting for you in Churchill, Manitoba this winter!

@yukondoug @ParksCanadaMB @ChurchillNSC Is this from within Wapusk? If so, does this mean barren ground grizzlies no longer considered extirpated from Manitoba? Or how does that work?

The King of Wapusk woke up early this year. @ParksCanadaMB @ChurchillNSC

From Minni to Winni (Minneapolis to Winnipeg).

@rafat Bunkbed rooms at Revolution in Boston were great for our family but families not the target.

Why is it so so hard to find bunk beds in hotels rooms? If more hotels had those options, more families with kids would book it. Of course very few hotels are ever designed keeping families in mind, which still blows my mind.

@terryoinfluence How do we define radio (podcasts?)?

AdAge magazine says U.S. media is nearing a surprising milestone where 18- to 49-year-olds are spending more time listening to radio than watching linear TV.

@rafat I thought Skift was considered 'New Media' 😂

It is time we (sure, we have to define “we”) move away from “startups” as the lingo to just….”business.” And surely retire “tech startup” forever. We are launching a business, we are running a business, we are raising funding for our business. Last few days have shown why.

@joechurchill That’s wild

Bit o’ Aurora on the go up here tonight!

Our team knew this, whatever it was, was not normal and expressed their excitement. Our guests (most of whom had never experienced aurora) thought it was just part of the northern lights show, haha.

Last night our guests near Churchill dining beneath the northern lights witnessed a meteor exploding (??) nearby. This video was captured ~30km away from our guests; I understand this ‘event’ happened pretty much overhead. Wild. @exploreorg @PolarBears @FrontiersNorth

Last night -54º celsius, two EV Tundra Buggies running like a charm, outperforming diesel machines *by a tundra mile*

Tonight our second EV Tundra Buggy, Buggy 10, is being put into active duty helping host one of our groups in Churchill to experience aurora borealis (i.e. northern lights). Here’s B10 silently laying a patch of rubber. The torque in these EVs is next level. Volume up 🔊

@AgFreeAgent @joechurchill @FrontiersNorth Hi Jim, we are zero-emission propulsion and rely on diesel to heat the carriage, battery box, and bathroom basement. We’ve reduced our per-day per-EV Tundra Buggy diesel consumption from 155L to ~4L.

@JohnGunter @joechurchill @FrontiersNorth How do you heat them?

@jamespthornton @TTGMedia Around 2005 it was the insecurity around being perceived as greenwashing that motivated us to start indexing our enviro track record. Fast forward to today and we are working on our B Corp REcertification and are more thoughtful about future enviro and social goals.

@aikenslake Looks like this bear made a wrong turn somewheres.

@JohnGunter Haven't the bears gone back onto the ice already? Seems weird for this one to have lost his way back to Hudson Bay, non?

Early on the tundra with ⁦@PolarBears⁩ ⁦@GMA⁩ @michaelstrahan⁩ ⁦@FrontiersNorth⁩

@adamdooley Congratulations Adam!

Great @Skift article about demand for cold weather tourism in Scandinavian 🇪🇺, mirroring @FrontiersNorth experience in the 🇨🇦 subarctic. Our 2022 combined sales for winter northern lights, summer beluga whale, & autumn polar bear trips at 106% of 2019.📈 skift.com/2022/10/25/the…

Recently returning from 🇺🇸 in the Nexus line, presented my Nexus card, was unceremoniously escorted to the back of general security clearance line (which was fine). I asked if I was doing it wrong. No response. I guess this is my answer 👇🏻 cp24.com/news/business-…

That being said, my push-back to the government re: ArriveCAN is that travellers don’t want to download the 🇨🇦 app, 🇪🇺 app, 🇺🇸 app, etc. and that we need a globally interoperable customs/health verification app.

FWIW all along I’ve been asking our sales team if ArriveCAN has been cited as an issue for our multi-day, guided group tour guests & prospective guests. The answer is NO. It may have been an issue for other travellers & companies, but it wasn’t for us. bbc.com/news/world-us-…
