Forecast Issue 10.2 Preview

With temperatures dropping and dustings of snow beginning to appear at ski resorts throughout Canada, winter is right around the corner, so it’s time for a look at Issue 10.2 of Forecast, which will begin arriving in ski shops and mailboxes across the country in the next week.

First up, the cover, which features the freakishly talented Sam Kuch spelunking at Chatter Creek, B.C., as shot by one of our senior photographers, Bryan Ralph, while filming for Matchstick Productions’ latest movie, Calm Beneath Castles.
