It’s rare to test winter gear where failure actually matters. We took The North Face’s Summit Series deep into the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia, skiing and camping at Baldface Valhalla—more than 21,000 acres of exposed backcountry terrain. From high-alpine bowls and wind-scoured ridgelines to narrow chutes and steep tree runs, this was the kind of environment Summit Series gear is built for.
