FORECAST ISSUE 5.1 PREVIEW

Now that summer vacation has come to a close, us old timers are slaving away at work and you youngsters are back to the books, it’s time to start thinking about winter. And to help with that, we, your friendly neighbours at Forecast, are beyond excited to offer you a look at the first issue of our fifth volume, which is arriving at your local ski shop and newsstands across Canada as you read this.

The first order of business is our first female cover shot, which showcases Nat Segal holding the line at Whitecap Alpine, B.C., as photographed by the always reliable Bruno Long.

Here’s a preview of what’s inside…

2020 BUYER’S GUIDE
It’s that joyful time of year when the mountain calls to all its creatures. And by creatures, we mean the season’s most magical skis, boots and bindings, courtesy of our animal kingdom of a Buyer’s Guide.

GOIN’ TO JACKSON
Riley Leboe and Stan Rey head south for their inaugural journey to Wyoming, where they meet up with Hadley Hammer to turn loose on four feet of fresh at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

CHASE LIFE
Honouring the life, legacy and faith of a fallen father, husband, son, brother and friend, the late and great Dave Treadway.

On top of all this, you’ll find profiles on Dylan Siggers and Jonathan Rollins, a look at George McConkey’s lifelong love affair with boot fitting, a chance to win a pair of Smith Optics’ all-new 4D MAG Goggles in a contest with Mark Abma, and much more.
