Ski season is around the corner!

Hey there!

Happy Friday! The fall season is upon us, and guess what? We've got some exhilarating news to drop in your inbox! In just a few weeks, we're launching our Kickstarter campaign to breathe life into our dream magazine, and we absolutely want YOU to be part of this epic journey.

Let's talk about the whirlwind of awesomeness that's been happening lately. We've been blown away by over 50 incredible pitches for our very first issue, and we're already gearing up to make those stories come to life. If you've pitched us and haven't heard back yet, don't fret—we're a small but mighty team hustling hard to review each and every pitch. We’ll get back to everybody within the next couple of days. If you’re a writer and have a story, hit us up! We want your voice in Background Mag.

The best part? Our adventure-loving community is going global! We've got contributors from all corners of the globe, and some winning-award writers from the most respected magazines are jumping on board to support us.

Keep your eyes peeled for more updates and exclusive sneak peeks as we rev up for launch day. Oh, and for all you skiing fanatics out there, winter is just around the corner! Check out this jaw-dropping mountain shot by @laylakerley in Gran San Bernardino — breathe in that fresh mountain air!

We're stoked to have you join us in celebrating the world of adventure like never before. We can’t believe we’re part of this print revolution. Welcome to a new chapter in independent adventure journalism!

Now get out there and have some fun!
