Photo: Fred Marmsater Words Heather Hansman March of 2021, deep in the guts of the COVID pandemic and stuck at home in Canada, Christina Lustenberger made her way to the top of a mountain that’s always been core to her sense of place. Mount Nelson, the 10,869-foot massif that rises above her hometown of Invermere, BC, had been on her mind since she was a kid—she could see it from the house she grew up in and from the chairlift as a young ski racer at nearby Panorama Mountain Resort. 042 The Ski Journal IN
