A ski track might be the most ephemeral and inoffensive imprint that mankind can leave in nature. This graceful evidence of a skier’s passing vanishes with the ensuing storm. Whether it esses down a deep-powder slope or slices a route across a vast plateau, a ski track represents harmony between man and wilderness. And the tranquility born from swift, self-sufficient travel through harsh mountain environments inspires skiers to return again and again.
