Backcountry Magazine The Generations Issue | Issue #145 Retour à l'édition précédente

With profiles of both the young and old, the Generations Issue stands as proof that backcountry skiing and riding are lifelong sports. Throughout its pages, we highlight a 25-year-old splitboarder who charges pillow lines and consequential couloirs, a 20-year-old skimo star and a pair of first descentionists who haven’t yet hit a quarter century. Additionally, we share wisdom from those who have been in the skintrack for three decades and counting, like Jane Gallie and Margo Krisjansons, whose friendship runs deeper than their favorite snow condition, which they call “old gal powder.” Jason Hummel returns to Washington’s grueling Picket Traverse to explore new corners of the map; Connor Ryan explores his dual identity as a skier and Hunkpapa Lakota; and Drew Zieff breaks down the growth of women in splitboarding.
