“No matter your end goal in the backcountry, she who knows the zones wins. As a diligent observer and resource-ful inquirer, Stefi led us to a honey hole near Otaru, Japan, immediately identified pat-down potential in this feature, then floated a couple airs into a pristine pocket before moving on to cheer for the others. This encapsulates Stefi. She quietly takes in information and shares it with those she trusts. She knows what she wants but isn’t selfish.” Photo: Taylor Boyd STEFI LUXTON 057
