We say it every year, but this time we mean it more than ever—this issue is something special.
Snow Action has spent the better part of three decades chasing powder, stories, and the heartbeat of mountain life across the globe. In 2025, we’re going deeper. This issue marks the start of a refreshed direction, shaped by a passionate crew of contributors who live and breathe snow.
From Norway to Niseko, Queenstown to the Rockies, this issue roams far and wide. We ride alongside Olympian Hedvig Wessel in Iwanai, watch Torah Bright break down the world’s best terrain parks (from Perisher to Laax), and explore why more skiers are seeking out mountain guides to unlock hidden lines. Our lens captures silence and motion in equal measure—moments that remind you why you fell in love with snow in the first place.
There’s a heart to this issue too. Managing Editor Emma Wilson shares a personal reflection on what the snowlife really means: not just adrenaline, but connection—to family, to culture, to place. That’s why we’ve spotlighted more women’s stories, pulled back the curtain on postnatal skiing, and offered a travel guide that doesn’t just list destinations, but invites you to dream again.
The gear section is your go-to for the latest skis, boots, and boards—jargon-free and practical. Plus, you’ll find fitness tips from Paralympian Sam Tait, insight into retreats and training camps, and coverage of the Warren Miller film tour’s 75th anniversary, which is as much a love letter to the sport as it is a celebration of its future.
And yes, there are giveaways. Big ones. Think Japan trips, gear kits, lift passes, and more. Flip to the back for details—but don’t skip the journey getting there.
