Seeking Uncomfortable with Veronica Paulsen

Untouched slopes as far as the eye can see from the top of the Gemsstock cable car. The small Swiss village of Andermatt has long been known among skiers for its endless terrain and few crowds. Photo: Martin Wabel

Locale

Alpine Idyll at a Crossroads

Dust on crust, but make it a 50-degree slope. When climbing and skiing harrowingly steep lines, Sam Anthamatten hauls up what he calls “skis for going fast”—crucial for descents like this in Zinalrothorn, Switzerland, near his home in Zermatt. Photo: Tero Repo

Sam Anthamatten’s Relationship with Risk

I went to the Dolomites in 2015, arguably the most aesthetic mountains on earth, and this photo of Nat Segal was my favorite capture of the entire trip. Another reminder that you can travel across the world to chase the biggest lines and most jagged peaks, but good light wins every time. Photo: Zoya Lynch
