Backcountry Magazine October 2015 – The Travel Issue Back Issue

Winter’s short, powder-filled days have a way of zipping by, and although it’s early fall, spring can sneak up before you know it. Consider this a call to action to break out of winter routines before they even set in. And October’s Travel Issue is all about creating those new experiences. We’ve assembled an array of adventures, from those far away—like skiing under Norway’s Northern Lights and finding a Haute Route less traveled—to those near home, like taking a hut trip with your family. And we’ve included the gear to get you there and back, including the best ski bags and suitcases, as well as travel tips like how to purchase the right rescue insurance and travel with your airbag. So before it’s March and the season’s passed you by, grab the Travel Issue and embark on a new kind of winter season.
