With another ski season getting underway, avalanche forecasters and search-and-rescue groups are concerned that large numbers of skiers and snowboarders will again turn to the backcountry to avoid crowds and reservation systems at resorts. The increased interest in the backcountry has been a lifeline for the outdoor retail industry amid the pandemic, but it has also renewed a push among gear manufacturers and stores to sell responsibly.

DENVER (AP) On March 14, Colorado s governor issued an executive order shutting down ski resorts across the state. The coronavirus had arrived and was spreading rapidly in small mountain communities that were attracting hordes of spring break revelers. The next day, with chairlifts and gondolas hanging idly overhead, a large group converged on Aspen Mountain, passed a closure sign and “skinned” up the slopes under their own power to get in a few hard-earned turns. In the following weeks, skiers and snowboarders with nowhere else to go were increasingly lured by the untouched powder of the backcountry. In the nine weeks after resorts closed, 32 people were caught in avalanches, including two who were killed, according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. During the previous four months, 65 people were swept up in slides.

Tom Kelly: The art of perseverance

Courtesy of Rosie Brennan It’s a bluebird day as Parkite Rosie Brennan strides up the snow-covered trail alongside a mountain stream. It’s a special place for her. The Dischmatal, or Dischma Valley, winds to the north from Davos, Switzerland, eventually crossing a medieval route over the Scaletta Pass to the Engadin. Standing out is the towering Schwarzhorn, a sentinel along the ridgeline, much like Jupiter Peak back home. “I like it because it’s a wide valley and gets lots of sun. We call it Sun Valley,” Brennan said. As a World Cup cross-country ski racer, Brennan’s home is Davos most Decembers. It’s one of the more gorgeous stops on the tour with an elevation much like Park City. Some of her foreign competitors aren’t all that comfortable with the altitude. But it suits Brennan just fine. It’s just like home. Anchored in Europe now, she’ll spend Christmas there next week.
