Explore the world of human powered backcountry travel involving turns on snow.
As Hadley Hammer takes a bow and moves on from performance skiing, she’s beginning to focus on her writing and helping others find their voice. We are glad to have her as our guest on the podcast.
Dad. Mountain Guide. Excellent vibe. Cham-local. Let’s keep it tight: Vivian Bruchez on the podcast. Thanks for listening.
Discussing mapping, ski atlases, and the idea of gatekeeping: all on the latest podcast with Andy Sovick from Beacon Guidebooks.
Photographer Drew Smith is the guest on this episode. Smith’s work spans the spectrum from outdoor-related commercial work to full-value expedition photography. We are drawn to his images for many reasons. First and foremost, there’s his documentarian style and vibe. In short, Smith is along for the ride, documenting rather than staging, keeping up with rather than slowing the tempo down. He’s a high-level climber and snowboarder who is often along on an expedition as an equal: he’ll lead ice and rock pitches, set a booter, crampon up a face with his snow sliding tools in tow, and camera ready.
As we take our own pivot toward print, we go deep to learn a few things from Michael Levy. Levy is the bundle of energy and vision behind Summit Journal—a legacy climbing magazine title with a decidedly modern perspective.
