In 2025, she again achieved a strong third-place result at the World Cup. ARC'TERYX was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 1989. The city is about one hour by car from the steep Coast Mountains along the Pacific coast, where outdoor activity is naturally woven into daily life. The brand began as Rock Solid, a garage brand that manufactured and sold climbing gear. In 1991, it launched the Vapor Harness, using thermoformed 3D foam, and changed its name to ARC'TERYX, inspired by Archaeopteryx, considered one of the first birds to take flight in evolutionary history. Based on its philosophy of designing products from scratch, and grounded in the technology and experience cultivated in the rich and demanding environment of the Coast Mountains, ARC'TERYX continues to focus on design, craftsmanship, and performance. Through technical innovation that redefines industry conventions, the brand creates top-quality products built for peak performance and continues to lead the evolution of outdoor products.
