Run by a team of enthusiastic backcountry skiers, this blog shares gear reviews, tips and insider knowledge of resorts. Everything from Avalanche safety tips to skiing in Afghanistan. Avoiding the typical ‘gnarly’ language that you may expect from extreme skiers, they are a trusted source for all types of skiing information.

This is run by mountaineer Louis Dawson who is known in the backcountry skiing community for being the first person to ski all 54 of Colorado state’s 14,000 ft peaks. Whether blogging on avalanche transceivers or the weather systems, he is a valuable source when it comes to skiing information.

Greg Hill is an adventurer ‘on the constant search for powder’ having skied over 165 mountains in his time. He has skied in Alaska, Chile, Europe, North America, his documented adventures give a fascinating insight into the life of a professional skier. And look out for his blog when he heli skied with CMH.

For the expert opinion on CMH, you must look at this blog prior to your heli skiing trip. This is a great source of information on CMH’s individual ski areas and lodges in British Columbia but they also keep you up-to-date with Warren Miller’s latest ski movies and their ski fitness tips. Giving you a great idea of what goes into your heli skiing trip.

Better suited for strong, intermediate skiers looking to brave the next challenge, this blog is written by the ideal candidate – a fully certified ski instructor.

Although largely centred on the Australian/New Zealand skiing community, Miss Snow-it-all has a refreshingly honest insight into the ski world. Whether she’s commenting on the rapid decline of food on the slopes, reviewing her heli skiing trip or her visit to Japan, Miss Snow-it-all is a ‘powder junkie’ worth following.
