In Switzerland, glaciers are woven into mountain life, providing water, hydropower and the foundation beneath ski areas. As they retreat, communities are looking for ways to hold onto the ice.

Greta Close looks at how Swiss ski resorts are covering portions of their glaciers with protective blankets to slow summer melt and preserve a landscape slipping away.

There’s something about walking up and down mountains that brings people together” —Carolyn Highland

Happy International Day of Friendship 👯‍♀️

In Issue 164, Carolyn Highland reflects on her longtime ski friendship built through shared turns, long drives and countless hours on the skintrack. From training for and completing the Grand Traverse () to staying connected across nearly 5,000 miles, skiing has remained a constant through the years.

Here’s to the people we’re lucky enough to share the mountains with. ❤️

For decades, lines like the 3-4 Couloir and Skyladder have defined ski mountaineering in the Canadian Rockies. As the glaciers that shaped them continue to retreat, so do the conditions that made these descents possible.

Kevin Hjertaas () explores the legacy of these iconic lines and the changing landscapes shaping how they’re skied today.
