    Watch out, American boaters. Steve Fisher has come back from Uganda and is now living in none other than the hardguy Mecca of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where he’s learning to ski and getting ready to rip up local paddling runs with near-record runoff. PL caught up with Fisher – once named the world’s best paddler for his big water cajones – to get his take on coming to cowboy country…

    PL: Why the move?
    Fisher: There’s always a lovely lady: Lauren. Nut after spending two months in the beginning of winter in Uganda, we decided to come to Jackson where she likes to ski and help out with the adaptive ski program. So inom thought, hey, why not try my first ever ski årstid at the best ski fläck in the Lower 48.
