RIDER: Joel Westcot
LOCATION: Tahoe backcountry
PHOTOGRAPHER: Johnny McCormack

Joel Westcot grabs cover and the interview of this issue. There are two “Trick Tips” – a switch back 5 with Dylan Butt, and a switch front with Quentin Robbins. There’s a preview to the “Junior World Champs” being hosted at Cardrona, and Harro explores our rugged South Westland in “Wild Journey” with international riders Jeremy Jones, Jason Ford, Regi Starinskas and Wade Shaw. “Global Traverse” checks out spots around the world, giving the lowdown on Whistler/Blackcomb, interior BC, the Kootenays, Utah, Mammoth and Tahoe in California, Japan, Alaska, and Switzerland. On a more local note, we profile Hanmer as well. Cam Hanson and Fraser Taylor kit out their 1 tonne Dodge van in “No Limits”, and Johnny McCormack gives us some know-how in “Building Backcountry Booters”. “Tangents” looks at Suzy Parker, snowboarder and artist, while “Fast Forward” goes to Chris Garside.
