The Last Best SKI - Simon Peterson / Photo Editor Outside Bozeman / Backcountry Skier
Photo editor of Outside Bozeman Magazine and Backcountry Skier Simon Peterson shares why he’s not good about keeping secrets about great ski lines in the mountains around Bozeman.
There shouldn’t be any secrets. We need the user days to progress the sport, to keep the accesses open. We are getting more people, the sport is getting more popular. All you have to do is drive 15 more minutes and you are going to find a spot where there is nobody. I don’t like the secretive, hush, hush; how did you learn about it? You learned about it from somebody. Teach the next person, maybe, just maybe they will become your friend. Maybe they are a great skier and fun to ski with. I’m not good about keeping secrets about that stuff.
I had my priorities straight. I moved here for the skiing and school second.
Doing some progression where you learn the fundamentals before you are diving into extreme terrain is huge.
That Does look “Crazy”
