Forecast Issue 12.2 Preview

Snow has begun blanketing resorts across the country, and ski movie premiere season is in full swing, so we’re extra excited to unveil our second issue of the fall, which made its debut at this past weekend’s Toronto Ski & Snowboard Show and will be arriving in ski shops and mailboxes across Canada soon.

On the cover is one of our favourite skiers, Dennis Ranalter, trenching white gold in the consistent snow globe that is Niseko, Japan, as shot by Taylor Loughran for his first cover.
 
Here’s a peek at what’s inside…

2027 Outerwear Guide 
We all love ski season, but even at the best of times, being cold and wet can suck. So to help shield you from the harshness of Old Man Winter's breath, we’re proud to showcase some of the year's most effective and attractive jackets and snowpants in our annual Outerwear Guide.
