Bruce Edgerly, or “Edge,” as he’s known to the backcountry community, has been around the block. He cut his teeth in the outdoor industry by writing for Powder and Couloir in the 1980s, and traveling the globe to cover the burgeoning extreme skiing movement.

In the early nineties, Edge found himself out of a job and largely unemployable, despite having a degree in engineering. A chance encounter with Bruce McGowan inspired the pair to start BCA and a backcountry icon was born.

Edge takes us on a ride through the evolution of BCA, from trekkers to beacons to airbags, and reflects on the growth in backcountry skiing that he never saw coming.
