Welcome to The Nook of the North. - Born in Whistler. Worn everywhere.

We’re a mountain lifestyle brand from Whistler, creating authentic, funny gear for skiers, riders, hikers, bikers, and nature lovers everywhere.

Your online hub for offbeat mountain gifts, witty cartoon merch, and cozy gear that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Every design starts with our original artwork — inspired by ski-town life, mountain culture, and a healthy dose of cheek. All orders are printed and shipped on demand, one at a time. That means less waste, no overproduction, and gear that’s made just for you. We also team up with local shops and businesses to create small-batch swag and custom merch — and if that’s what you need, we’re all ears.
