Backcountry  |  125 | The Great Northern Issue
As winter emerges in full force, it’s time to embrace what the season offers, from endless turns to crisp skies to uncharted skintracks. And there’s no better place to partake in the deep than the highest reaches of North America. Inside, Art Burrows immerses himself in British Columbia’s Rogers Pass, telling how vertical relief and a tumultuous history combined to make the most historically significant ski-mountaineering zone in all of North America. Then, Ryan Stuart traces the final journey of a 300-year-old iceman, Kwäday Dän Ts’ìnchi, across glaciers and over crevasses to learn from this region’s earliest explorers. Also: British Columbia’s off-the-radar Slocan Valley, tension over Oregon and California’s Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument, the skinny on Scarpa’s lightweight Alien RS and a firsthand account of a Vermont avalanche.
