With the seasons a-changing, it’ll soon be time to look elsewhere for your winter fix. Thankfully, snow will start flying in Southern Hemisphere, but the tough decision will be choosing which zone to visit. Hana Beaman and Jake Blauvelt’s recent edit make a strong case for the Andes. Last summer, the two snowboarders made the trek down to Chile to connect with local legends Christian Wehrhahn and Paulo Audisio, who run a backcountry guiding service near Camino al Volcán.

Step Inside the World’s Most Advanced Avalanche Research Lab

Switzerland is one of the deadliest places on the planet when it comes to avalanches. Many of the country’s villages and roads lie beneath massive slide paths, and when it snows, big white walls of snow start moving. These days, those dangers are elevated thanks to a warming climate, and the team of scientists and avalanche forecasters at the WSL institute for Snow and Avalanche Research are figuring out how and why it affects mountain communities.
