Word to the wise: When you’re lost in the woods without a compass or map and your gut tells you to go north and Colin Puskas tells you to go south, go south. This guy knows his way around mountains. The 26-year-old Calgary native has positioned himself in Banff, an idyllic base for a guy with a sled, a truck, and a desire to ski a new mountain range every month. Though he’s skied extensively in North and South America, Colin’s happiest at home in the Canadian Rockies. Fortunately for us (or we’d still be buskwalking to the car), we lured him to Central Oregon last month, for a late season ski in the Three Sisters Wilderness. Within a pitcher of Mirror Pond, Colin had successfully persuaded everyone at the table to move to the Big North. CLICK HERE FOR THE INTERVIEW
