Here's a trick from Sam Zahner that'd make Paula Dean, the reigning queen of butter, proud. View this post on InstagramA post shared by Sam Zahner (@samzahner)

  Spring means different things to different skiers. If you're a backcountry enthusiast, you likely have one objective during the warmer months: volcanos.
