Forecast Issue 11.2 Preview

Ski resorts across Canada have started donning their white dress, and since the bull wheels will be spinning before we know it, it’s time for a preview of our second issue of the year, which will begin arriving in ski shops and mailboxes across the snowy Great White North this week. 

On the front page for his first time ever is former competitive slopestyle skier turned backcountry film star Etienne Geoffroy-Gagnon, as shot by the immensely talented Anatole Tuzlak.
