We have some fun people to introduce you to on the next Outdoor Explorer: twin brothers came in to talk with us. They’re beer brewers, who are fanatic for snow machine-assisted backcountry skiing. This is where you ski or board remote powder slopes, but without spending the sweat to get there on foot or the money to get there on a helicopter–you ride out on a snow machine. There’s a ton of skill involved and a lot to learn, and these guys are great at talking about it.
