We head to tiny Stoneham at the end of a Quebec roadtrip for some windswept night-skiing It’s getting dark as I turn off highway 73 and park up at Stoneham, my final destination from a little jolly round Quebec. Thankfully the snowstorm which local forecasters have been predicting to be the season’s biggest looks like it will now hit tomorrow lunchtime rather than tonight.

Spring may be upon us, but the ski season is far from over here at Fall-Line! This issue is a celebration of the places which come into their own this time of year.

We round up the world's best spots for late spring and summer skiing - from Japan to Norway to Chile - as well as take a quick trip over the Channel to Les Arcs for a spot of speed flying and ski touring.

If you haven’t already discovered the pow-haven/adrenalin-pumping/awe-inspiring thrills that ducking under the ropes brings, here’s our concise(ish) guide to all things backcountry. Transitioning from an expert piste or pow skier to backcountry supremo is no easy feat – not only does the technique take some practice, there’s also numerous safety measures to contend with. So before you go planning your trip across the Haute Route, consider spending a day or two in- resort learning the basics.

Fall-Line is a magazine, started by a bunch of ex-pat Brits in Chamonix in 1990, dedicated to fantastic skiing. Everyone who reads the mag finishes it and can't wait to hit the slopes. It's like an injection of snow that starts in September and doesn't let up until March, filling you with inspiration. Read more about Fall-Line magazine.
