While urban angst and cynicism sweep the eastern end of this country, a faithful cadre of Ski Freaks mount the peaks of Mother Earth and find a whole wide world to behold. Radical provides just a glimpse into this peaceful reality check. The talk is of hemp and pot, not X and glue. The photos are of exploding snow, laden evergreens, perhaps a board or ski pole barely intruding. Words like sacred, rejoice and playgrounds wave within the borders. Tales of great mountain top treks, an essay “chicks on sticks” and truly informative piece on hemp then and now, might just ease you out of that tight-minded, everything sucks p.o.v. and lure off to a powdery summit for a many-sided high.
