BC Ski Friends!
Please forgive this slightly different email delivery method, but know it’s still me/Landon sending my weekly-ish email about backcountry skiing, splitboarding, and general winter awesomeness.
The Backcountry Ski Friends email list has grown pretty long over the last few years. It includes friends from dawn patrols, powder hours, ski hill parking lot chats, grin and grind laps, etc. A couple of our BC ski friends have been nudging me for a while to turn my email into a website so the videos, articles, and etc are easier to access and it’s easier to invite others to join/check it out. So here I am, giving it a go!
With summer really cranking up here in August, and the earn-your-turns a bit trickier to track down, I’m channeling my ski energy/angst into this website.
Cheers and check out the bc ski links round-up below…
SUMMER SKI TRAINING AT ITS FINEST
I’m not one to go out of my way for moguls, but this is inspiring off-season training! I have a pitchy hill in my backyard waiting for me to dig it out. Holler if you’re interested in helping.
FIRES IN YOUR FAV SKI GLADES
You know your favorite bc ski glade stash… well sadly you shouldn’t count on it being there year after year. Sadly, fires will be burning in the mountains we love each summer for the foreseeable future.

CONVERT YOUR FRIENDS INTO BC SKIERS… IN TWO DAYS!
Convert or get converted to the ways of uphill skiing. Downhill is cool, but it’s the coolest to go uphill to earn your turns. This guy had 80 some applicants to his program!
