Backcountry  |  The Deep Winter Issue
The midwinter issue goes deep to celebrate the deep. Inside, we head to Valemount, B.C., where the developers behind the controversial Jumbo Glacier Resort are returning to the drawing board to bring economic revival and European ski-touring culture to a quiet town tucked between the Rocky, Monashee and Cariboo Mountains. Then, we traverse California’s Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains, capturing the stories of the pioneers and adventures that arguably gave birth to North American ski mountaineering. Also, we go on location to Mosquito, Pass, Colo., the seldom-skied, high-alpine neighbor to Breckenridge where a new hut system is growing out of the abandoned buildings of Colorado’s gold boom. Plus: Reviews of a new breed of high-tech climbing skins, an Editors’ Choice freeride setup and the puffiest puffy, alongside the tools, tips and tricks to plan more successful, fun and safe adventures in the mountains.
