Tragically this weekend, a snowboarder died in a tree well inbounds at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. While many of us might love skiing and riding in the trees (especially during dangerous avalanche conditions, when this can be a safer option), tree wells pose a real danger. A tree well is the area of deep, unconsolidated snow around the base of a tree that can “swallow” a rider if they come too close to the tree trunk. Snow immersion suffocation can occur if someone falls into a tree well, especially when they fall in headfirst and become immobilized. Pro skier and guide Chris Davenport demonstrates how to avoid falling in, and what to do if you or your partner do fall into one. If you fall in, stay calm. Grab on to any branches or the tree trunk and try to climb out. If you cannot get out alone, alert your partner that you are trapped, and have them shovel you out, moving snow downhill to excavate an exit.

When the spring conditions are dry in Chamonix, there’s still plenty to do up high – especially if you bring a wing. Of course, for Cham legend Michael ‘Bird’ Shaffer, flying among the spires and glaciers of Mont Blanc almost beats the skiing. This year, with a pretty meager spring snowpack, Bird took to finding some new routes through the peaks above Chamonix with a crew of local friends. Here’s his POV from a “quick lap” down the glaciated face of the Mont Blanc Du Tacul all the back down

Rip around in the Tetons mid-winter, and you’re bound to run into one or more of these characters. Chances are they’re already on lap three, or are on their way down from some rarely-skied objective by the time you’re just getting to the top. Despite what they’d tell you, Beau Fredlund, Adam Fabrikant, Clark Henarie, and Billy Haas are some of the greatest ski and snowboard mountaineers of our time, and watching them run up and down mountains is truly inspiring. In May of 2021, they teamed up
