Jill Fredston, author of the Book Sense 76 Pick Rowing to Latitude: Journeys Along the Arctic's Edge, and her husband Doug Fesler are avalanche experts and codirectors of the Alaska Mountain Safety Center. Almost 20 years ago they published Snow Sense: A Guide to Evaluating Snow Avalanche Hazard, which is required reading for the National Ski Patrol -- and anyone who lives in snowy regions.
For the past 15 years or so, Fredston and Fesler have spent every summer -- rain, wind, or shine -- on the water. They have rowed around Norway, down the west coast of Greenland, around Spitsbergen, and more: in all logging more than 20,000 miles. When they aren't rowing, they live in the mountains above Anchorage.
