To Uganda With Skis

To Uganda With Skis

Posted by | Nov 1, 2008 | |

ā€œThe Mubuku River is too high ā€“ too high for the dry season,ā€ our Ugandan guide John says, shaking his head. He fears we might not be able to cross the footbridge ahead. Weā€™ve only been hiking for a few hours and already the trail is lapped over by whitewash. The river rampages through the rainforest right next to us. It is the kind of water that would make the evening news back home ā€“ the kind of water that leaves people stranded on their rooftops while a TV helicopter hovers nearby.

If your dog looks like an Alaskan malamute or a Swiss mountain dog, chances are your pooch takes to snow like a five-year-old Norwegian kid. Certain dog breeds, such as Huskies and St. Bernardā€™s, have been bred for cold weather pursuits for centuries.

Craig Dostie started Couloir magazine 20 years ago (then ā€œLe Chronicle du Couloirā€), when backcountry skiing was very much a fledgling, little-known sport, and he did so out of a very unlikely birthplace, the LA suburb of Moorpark. It grew to become the countryā€™s leading backcountry ski magazine and helped promote backcountry skiing and snowboarding during a period of tremendous growth that brought it into mainstream consciousness ā€“ relatively speaking, as it remains somewhat of a fringe sport, guarded by sweat and effort.

59th Annual Warren Miller Film Tour

Posted by | Nov 1, 2008 | |

The opening footage of Warren Millerā€™s 59th annual homage to the global ski lifestyle, ā€œChildren of Winter,ā€ features two Tahoe locals who run an Alaska heli-ski operation, two race-bred Olympians and a converted fishing trawler with a heli pad cruising the Chugach Range of maritime Alaska. The floating foursome picks off virgin big mountain peaks like theyā€™re shooting ducks at a carnival booth.

Have you picked up Issue #133 yet? Our cover photo of Sustainable Surf ambassador Ashley Lloyd conveys the feeling of summer better than any image weā€™ve seen in a long time. The photo was taken by Bryan ā€œ@WetFeetā€ Garrison and we invite you to soak in the wholesome summer vibes and take them wherever you go.
