  We Call it the Fun ZoneThis introduction originally appeared in the 2025 Photo Annual print issue of POWDER Magazine. The magazine can still shipped directly to your front door.It’s a quick-hit little backcountry area I like to ski after the kids head off to school. My friends refer to it as DT’s Fun Zone. I prefer to call it Dr. Smith’s (may or may not be a pseudonym), in reverence to a local physician whose neighborhood abuts this area, and who has been skiing here longe

• United Airlines Connecting East Coast Hub to Jackson Hole With Direct Flights

  10-06-2025 20:06 via powder.com
  
  One of the many charms of Jackson Hole, Wyoming is that it's relatively in the middle of nowhere.
  Unlike some world-class ski destinations, there's no large-scale international airport less than an hour down the road, or a shuttle up from the nearest metropolitan city. Wyoming is the least populated state in the country, after all. However, Jackson's middle of nowhere-ness can also make it a real pain to travel to, especially during the winter months, when weather in and out of the Jackson

  10-06-2025 16:00 via powder.com
  
  The moment at hand was monumental. Certainly not in a universal sense, but for the niche activity of telemark skiing –a pursuit long-ignored by the wider ski industry–the introduction of new, innovative gear was indeed pivotal. In my hands was Scarpa’s vastly revamped TX Pro–the sport’s late-coming modern boot. And it absolutely marked something of a watershed. For years prior, a hypothetical new telemark boot had been not only the subject of endless hypotheses. It

• Hunter S. Thompson Once Wrote a Letter to POWDER Magazine

  10-06-2025 15:39 via powder.com
  
  POWDER Magazine was built to celebrate the special community that is the ski world. When Dave and Jake Moe dropped in and got the ball rolling in the mid-'70s, telling the stories of their peers and of the vibrant culture surrounding skiing was front of mind. Looking back at some of the user-submitted pieces from the early era, we can catch a glimpse into the skiing microcosm of the time.

  “Hug your homies and tell them you love them.”It’s a straightforward suggestion. You may have seen it in the form of green, rectangular stickers on ski helmets or elsewhere, particularly if your home mountain is Alta Ski Area, Utah.
  The phrase and sticker was popularized by Dan Parisi, 29, who moved to Salt Lake City about five years ago, fell in love with the skiing, and stayed put. He was inspired to honor a member of the Alta community who died by suicide in December 2023. T
