Portland boy John Ware spent this past winter pillaging snow-covered spines in Montana’s backcountry. He accessed untouched fields of snow via snowmobile just to find the tastiest natural transitions and powder-laden meadows around. It was “by far the most fun season yet,” said Ware. “Skiing the best snow with a crew I could only dream of. No pressure just shredding for the soul. Thanks fellas for the good ‘ol times and Heffy for the deep snow and blue skies. No doubt I’ll be back.”
