6 WELCOME TO THE FALL/WINTER 2019 Issue of SIX STAR THE MAGAZINE FOR SUBARU OWNERS IN CANADA W hile many Canadians wait for months on end for summer to arrive, this issue celebrates the cooler seasons of the year—and encourages you to bundle up and explore more. As I’ve learned, there’s so much to see and do in this country, it would be a shame to stay inside whenever the temperature drops even a little bit. For example, while the location of our cover story may be perceived only as a warm-weather destination, the Muskoka Region offers incredible experiences 365 days per year. As our writer discovered, this area is filled with tremendous natural beauty, fresh air, clear lakes and an abundance of adventurous activities. In many ways, Muskoka is also the perfect setting for the all-new 2020 Subaru Outback, one of two featured vehicles in this issue. The all-new Outback is more capable and more adventure-ready than ever before. So it was an easy decision to take this truly unique vehicle to this fantastic setting, which has been one of the country’s most cherished outdoor playgrounds for so long. In this issue, you can read about the all-new Outback and the other all-new entry to the line-up, the 2020 Subaru Legacy. These two vehicles have been completely reengineered and redesigned, achieving new levels of competence, comfort and safety in the process. We hope you enjoy the articles on the all-new Outback and the Legacy—but, to be honest, we can’t wait for you to test-drive these vehicles for yourself. Elsewhere, we have stories on two other winter activities that are exciting in their own way, but for vastly different reasons. For our article on winter camping, we sent two writers to two different parts of the country to explore what it means to get back in touch with nature as the snow flies. Then, speaking of snow flying, we have a story on a different kind of cold-weather adventure, the Subaru Winter Experience. This advanced driving school, which takes place each winter in the middle of a frozen lake in the middle of nowhere (actually, northern Wisconsin) has been developed by professional rally driver Patrik Sandell in partnership with Subaru of America and DirtFish Rally School. The school sees students driving a variety of new Subaru models, and learning the techniques needed to drive effectively on snow and sheer ice. The other stories include a full slate of news from the world of Subaru, another travel story on the famous lobster trail in Nova Scotia and an interview with Canadian kayaker Haley Daniels, who’s preparing for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. In closing, we hope that you enjoy this issue and that it encourages you to explore more as the weather gets a bit colder. As always, we encourage your feedback on any of the stories contained in this issue and we even welcome suggestions for future stories. ENJOY THE READ— AND ENJOY THE OPEN ROAD!
