 I have not been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to make any turns this summer, so I figured a short history of the Smokejumper program accompanied by a photo essay might be of interest. |

 I had begun to think to my second Haute Route last summer when the summits of the imperial crown stoked my eyes at the top of the Zinal lift system. Everyone knows of the Mont Blanc, not so many knows of the perfect, sensual shape of the Obergabelhorn, and this is a very good thing.

 For the past eight winters, I have considered Utah my second home during ski season.

Anytime the opportunity presents itself, I jump on the chance to spend time behind the Zion Curtain. |

 In this age of internet forecasts, cell phones, and globalization, it seems anyone can find out where it’s going to be good at any time. With so much information at your fingertips, it’s a rare thing to find a place that is unique in the world and still relatively unspoiled by the masses. The Val d’ Herens is one such place; a tiny nook that happily lies in the shadow of nearby places like Zermatt, Verbier, Les Diablarets, and Chamonix.
