  06-11-2023 23:11 via powder.com
  
  I like to think that coating your parent's cars in the stickers of various ski companies is a universal part of growing up as a skier. To my knowledge, my parents never let it go too far with me and my brother -- the back of the Toyota Land Cruiser we took to the hill only had a few stickers, namely one of the classic K2 crosshairs die-cuts.I'm glad to report that whoever's running the 4FRNT Skis Instagram page is working to keep this tradition alive. In a recent video, they handed out 4FRNT sti

• Skier Descends Other-Worldly Landscape On "Spontaneous" Trip

  06-11-2023 18:30 via powder.com
  
  Over the years, I've developed a sense of what "skiable" terrain looks like. There's a bit of variability here: glades, steep Alaskan faces, midwestern handrails, and manicured groomers all come to mind.
