Our new Play Now series highlights an epic POV clip so you can get in on the action even when you're stuck behind a desk. Skier Drew Petersen grew up in Silverthorne, Colorado, but learned to ski and eventually competed on the steep, unforgiving slopes in Crested Butte. This past March, Petersen headed back to the big cliffs of his youth. A solid eight inches of snow fell soon after his arrival, and as Petersen told us, “Big lines and airs were good to go so we went soul shredding.” You can follow Petersen on Instagram here.
