What’s The History Behind Off-Piste Mag?
Off-Piste Magazine founder and editor David Waag started Off-Piste as a print publication in 1999 and quickly developed a passionate following among the dedicated ski-touring community.
Waag has spent more than three decades climbing and skiing around the world and continues to curate, edit and manage all content at offpistemag.com.
Off-Pist Mag was a print publication for 16 years!
It was a great run, creating the best in low-gloss backcountry adventure for the dedicated ski touring community. As of 2016, Off-Piste shifted to 100% online content.
We appreciate all of the support from our dedicated readership, contributors and advertisers since we began this journey. The print magazine was possible thanks to your enthusiasm and support for something different from the generic status quo of high-gloss ski mags.
