Editor’s Pick: Crocodiles and Ice by JonTurk
“APh.D. chemistwhohaswrittenover 40environmental science
textbooks, 70-year-oldTurk is alsoa skier, akayaker, awidower, a cyclist,
a father andoneof themost insightful wilderness andadventure
writers in theworld.
Crocodiles and Ice
recounts his circumnavigation
of Ellesmere Islandhigh in theArctic, but the common thread through
all ofTurk’s tales is the ideaof theDeepWild, that natural connection
betweenhumanity and theplanet that has evolved formillennia, but
now seemsmore at risk than ever before. From the jungle to the tundra,
to thebirthplaceof theDalai Lamaandbeyond,Turkdances through
time, thought and his own physical limits. Hiswriting unlocks the
mind and presents the natural (and supernatural) worldswith poise,
intelligence and inspiration.”

4FRNTKye 110
“The Petersenname is very familiar around these parts
and synonymouswithbigmountains.Workingwith
4FRNT, a line built by skiers for skiers, Kye Petersenhas
created a ski that is playful, competent, sure-footed
and incredibly fun. In the design, Kyewanted a surfy
feel for the deep snowbut also a tenacious edge to
hold in steep terrain.The tail and tip are rockered
and slightly pin-shaped for easy release, and the
light camber and edge profile results in an incredibly
balanced and capable ski that speaks directly to
CoastMountain skiers.”
