Martin Kejval and Barbora Kejvalova share Cape Smokey’s revival and vision for year-round adventure on Life+Leisure, November 12, 2026 at 7:30 AM EST on WE tv.

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, November 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Where the mountains meet the Atlantic Ocean, a remarkable destination is redefining the meaning of outdoor adventure. Cape Smokey, a four-season mountain and ocean destination along Nova Scotia’s iconic Cabot Trail, will be featured on Life+Leisure, hosted by Bill and Giuliana Rancic, in a special segment airing on WE tv on November 12, 2026 at 7:30 AM EST. The feature explores Cape Smokey’s extraordinary natural setting, ambitious redevelopment, and vision for creating a world-class destination rooted in adventure, nature, and community.

The episode features Martin Kejval, CEO of Cape Smokey, and Barbora Kejvalova, Marketing & Creative Lead at Cape Smokey and Ski Martock, who share how a historic ski hill has been transformed into an emerging year-round destination offering unforgettable experiences in one of Canada’s most breathtaking landscapes.
Originally established in 1971, Cape Smokey ceased regular operations in 1993 and remained largely untouched for decades. In 2019, the property’s potential was rediscovered, leading to an extensive redevelopment beginning in 2021. Today, Cape Smokey is being reimagined as a four-season destination featuring Atlantic Canada’s first gondola, spectacular ocean views, and outdoor experiences ranging from skiing and snowmobiling to hiking, biking, and coastal exploration.

During the segment, Kejval discusses the vision and determination required to rebuild the destination while preserving the rugged beauty that makes it unique. Unlike traditional resorts, Cape Smokey offers visitors the rare opportunity to ski overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and experience a landscape where adventure and tranquility coexist.

Kejvalova also shares how Cape Smokey is embracing a new approach to luxury travel—one centered on authentic experiences, untouched wilderness, and meaningful connections with nature. The destination appeals to travelers seeking everything from high-energy outdoor activities to peaceful escapes surrounded by extraordinary scenery.

Beyond tourism, Cape Smokey’s redevelopment is making a meaningful impact on the surrounding community. The project has created more than 100 direct jobs in a community of approximately 1,000 residents, while supporting additional employment and economic opportunities throughout the region. By attracting visitors year-round, Cape Smokey is helping strengthen local businesses and contribute to a more sustainable tourism economy.

Looking ahead, the vision for Destination Cape Smokey includes expanded accommodations, hospitality offerings, outdoor recreation, and thoughtfully designed residential opportunities, creating new ways for visitors to experience and connect with the region.
