On GoPros, the Backcountry and Being There

Words: Sam Turner Photos: Dan Turner Kind of a bummer the GoPro ran out of batteries eh? My buddy Hugh asks me as we hang up our gear in the lodge. I mull the statement for a moment. My days of disposable income and empty-nesting are a ways off. This year though, my parents cut to the chase. We needed the gnar points. To call it a pillow line is an overstatement....

Confessions of a Ski Bum: Part 2

This couldn’t be further from the truth. Every time I think about it, I always come to the same conclusion. It’s not ski bums that are poor, it’s youth. Spending time in the mountains in the summer is a great compliment to skiing them in the winter. It was an interesting, eye opening, reality check on living on your own. For the most part, I survived without much stress, that is, until mid March....
