David Steele is one of those guys who can immediately infect his fellow skiers with his genuine passion for snow, winter, and all things skiing. In his 12/13 season edit, David skis the summit of Denali, the powder forests of Nelson, BC, and the hill he grew up skiing in Montana.

David writes on Vimeo:

“Who knows how long I’ll paint houses to pay my student loans. How many more trips to new skylines will fit on the odometer. What the changing climate will do to the snow that starts high, fills in the runs from the summit down. And just like the nonsense that will always be there, the freedom and identity found on pair of skis remains steadfast. From Denali to Nelson to the hill I grew up skiing in Montana, there’s certainty. Buzz in the parking lot. Stoke on the skin track. Joy as I’ve ever known it, free as every flake that falls.”
