Skiers and snowboarders, prepare to realize your wildest dreams as we take you to the best peaks on the planet. Peter Oliver has explored mountains across the earth, skiing hundreds of thousands of vertical feet through untold stashes of powder in his quest for the best. Along the way, he's seen skiing and boarding merge in a mutual longing to put the adventure back into alpine skiing. That means off-trail (or "off-piste") runs, glade skiing, plenty of lift-served backcountry, out-of-bounds opportunities, and more and better heli-skiing. It means new resorts and newly opened terrain at classic resorts that make snowboarding and skiing more exciting than ever.
