S-Magazine Canada - Early Winter 2016

In this issue

I’ve been asked many times where is the best place to ski. I usually answer that question with a question of my own: “What is your idea of perfect skiing?” Do you prefer snorkel-deep powder? Endless cruisers? Scenic vistas? Trees or wide-open glades? Or all of the above? It’s really hard to go wrong in pursuit of the answers to these questions. Claire Challen and Paul Morrison teamed up to seek a bit of perfection in Switzerland (Skiing Free, page 28) at Portes du Soleil and Gstaad, while well-known author Rob Story joined photographer Ryan Bonneau to show the S-Media team the ropes of their hometown in Telluride (Modern Frontier, page 40), our first profile of this breathtaking old mining town in Colorado. This edition of S-Mag – our 52nd in our 10th year of publishing – captures the elements of skiing free that we all seek and sometimes even find.
