في هذه القضية

Look into the life of Ian McIntosh, learn how three women stepped back while spreading their wings on a remote Alaskan glacier and familiarize yourself with failing upwards—the concept that success in the backcountry is defined by making it home, not by skiing that line—all in the 2023 Skills Guide. In its pages, Kevin Hjertaas, Caite Zeliff, Drew Petersen and Jed Porter all find comfort in turning around. We explore the ethics of solo skiing, what private avalanche courses have to offer and accident insurance options for the seasonally employed, risk-tolerant mountain town resident. Plus, we find out from the best how to submit observations to an avalanche center, how BCA co-founder Bruce Edgerly stays safe and has fun and how Ecuadorian guide Juliana García is charting a path for Latin American women.
