As a skier, Matt likes to explore the whole mountain. He favors trees, steeps, and powder to on-trail skiing but also enjoys carving groomers back to the lift. When he's not hunting powder stashes or exploring the backcountry, you'll likely find him toasting winter with a dram of single malt scotch.","url":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/author\/mattmcdonald\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7543","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7543"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7543\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7756,"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7543\/revisions\/7756"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.powder7.com\/ski-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
