Issue 17.1 of The Ski Journal

Features

With film parts in The Approach and Faction’s Abstract, Rouches is re-setting the bar for up-and-coming skiers in the Pacific Northwest.

Profile

Sophia Rouches
Pre-dawn on the sleepy town of Ovit, Türkiye. In the winter, the only inhabitants are those who work at Ovit 2640 Hotel. The valley boasts 30,000 acres of backcountry skiing and straddles the ancient Silk Road.

Adventure

Türkiye
Jon Palmer (left) and Jeff Marcoux (right) pause for a break amongst the waist-high undergrowth they set out to clear on a humid August morning in Maine. Jon, who was participating in his first volunteer glade day, quickly learned the ropes of operating a brush saw from Jeff—an invaluable tool that they use to tackle 90 percent of their maintenance.

Culture
