Deep in the heat of summer Colette Maddock stayed cool covering the advent of the summer sport that has winter written all over it: wave skiing. An intern at Skiing Magazine in Boulder, Colorado, she has been covering the environmental impacts of climate change on winter sports, working on the magazine's gear review and writing for the magazine's Web site, SkiingMag.com.
"It's awesome here," she says. "I've been writing a ton of articles and helping to reform the online resort guide. It's been really busy, but it's great."
Her wave skiing piece focused on a team of professional skiers who adapted alpine bindings to the aloha environment. Now they're carving turns and pulling freestyle stunts they had previously only dreamed of.
