Third Wheel Ep.1: Mark Abma’s Perfect Powder Day

If you could design the ultimate backcountry ski experience, it might look a lot like this: Waking up deep in the backcountry, brewing a morning coffee that’s more ritual than routine, dropping into untouched pillow lines, and capping it all off with a sweat session in a wood-fired sauna on the edge of a majestic river.

In our first Third Wheel episode we follow Mark Abma to the Callaghan Journeyman Lodge where he gives us a front-row seat to his process prepping and repairing after a day of full sends in the deep.

Follow our Third Wheel video series on YouTube for a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the lives of BlackStrap athletes as they navigate the ins and outs of living a life dedicated to snow.
