Off-Piste is the ski magazine for dedicated backcountry users. It’s a different type of ski magazine, one geared toward dedicated backcountry enthusiasts. In our pages you will find stories of adventure, gear, social and environmental issues as well as ski images from around the world. If you are looking to advertise in a magazine you are not ashamed to read, Off-Piste is the place.

 

Off-Piste magazine offers a soulful perspective on backcountry skiing and ski culture. With roots in touring for turns and the lifestyle of dedicated skiers, our editorial content focuses on the celebration, promotion, and documentation of backcountry ski culture and equipment. We inform and inspire people to get out and explore!
