Thank you, Hardesty. A gentle and calm recounting, brief as could be, just the right detail, understated in the best of ways.

Hi Sean...did we go to Antarctica together in 2009?! I think so, and if not you can just laugh at me:) In any case, appreciate the Refuge support! And great…

Glad you were able to make some turns in such a special place. My wife and I are a backcountry skier/splitboarder and live up here in the central Brooks Range…

From all of us at Ascent, our best wishes for 2021 From all of us at Ascent, our best wishes for 2021. Here’s to lonely skintracks in the high mountains, deep powder, and backcountry adventure. Stay safe and healthy!
Looking for some backcountry adventure close to ho Looking for some backcountry adventure close to home this winter? Join our friends at Ice Axe Expeditions for 5 days of yurt based skiing high in the Smoky Mountains of Idaho, just north of Sun Valley. The adventure begins at the Tornak hut after a shuttle out of Sun Valley. All of your gear and provided provisions are hauled into the hut via snowmobile allowing you to get the most ski time. After 2 nights at Tornak, it’s a short connecting tour to the fabulous Coyote Yurt for another three days of skiing. Led by knowledgeable local guides, you’re sure to find great skiing in zones where solitude is guaranteed. After a long day of skiing this beautiful range, relax in the wood fired sauna, and enjoy hearty meals prepared from fresh ingredients. Covid conscious arrangements allows for sleeping separation. All food and gear shuttles and guide services are included. You just need to book and show up! Get some of your touring partners together for this unique experience. Huts across the west are booked for the winter, so here is your chance. Dates are March 14-18. Do it! @iceaxeexpeditions @sunvalleyguides @svtrek
“The unofficial motto of the USPS is ‘neither “The unofficial motto of the USPS is ‘neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.’ It’s a noble thought that backcountry skiers can relate to, except it leaves out one important natural element: wind. I don’t know about delivering mail in a hurricane, but with skiing, it can be a showstopper.” So writes @straightchuter Andrew McLean in his newest piece in the current issue of Ascent. Find out what all the huff is about.
Thanks for your patience on this. Good things come Thanks for your patience on this. Good things come to those who wait, be it a powder storm or....the next issue of ASCENT? This one will be mailing shortly. Due to the current (COVID) state of the world, free distribution will be limited. Please consider subscribing if you can, to ensure that you get a copy, and to support independent magazines. I’d be very grateful indeed if you could. Here’s to powder days, coming soon!
