Backcountry  |  123 | The Homegrown Issue
This issue is all about exploring the depths of your own backyard, wherever that may be. In Vermont, managing editor Lucy Higgins covers the complete history of backcountry skiing in the Green Mountain State—from the 1933 creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps, which created some of the Northeast’s most iconic ski trails, to the groundbreaking work of today’s backcountry alliances.
