Backcountry Magazine March 2017 - The Generations Issue Edição anterior

The thick of winter is a perfect time to reflect on what’s already come and what’s on the horizon. This March’s issue does just that, celebrating skiing and riding’s past while examining what the sport’s future may hold. We head to southwestern Colorado, where, after 15 years, Silverton Mountain is growing up and dealing with some heated controversy in the San Juan Mountains. Then we explore Utah’s strangest range, skiing among the state’s newest yurts high above Moab’s slickrock bike trails. Also inside: skimo-inspired backcountry setups to go farther, the 10 most important things every skier or rider should know, one guide’s tool for making better decisions in the mountains and our 2017 guide to the 18 best bc-compatible craft brews.
