"HARD PACK is a new type of ski magazine that combines edgy reportage with cerebral writing to create a new lexicon for the sport that is weird, philosophical, and dangerously fun.
Issue Seven of HARD PACK finds its center of gravity in the artworld expanding into literature, fashion and sport. Alex F. Webb captures volcanic activity on Mount Etna, while Cole Barash documents a skiable sculpture park. Fashion features include new work by Pia Riverola, Boe Marion, AM+PM, and Javier Castan. Skiing by Max Palm, Maïa Schwinghammer, and Klaus Obermeyer. Interviews with artists Matthew Day Jackson, Claudia Comte, and Kerstin Brätsch. Essays explore the legacy of Sundance, an all-female soviet explorers, and the meaning of art. Plus fiction, newly translated drama, and poetry."
