How Does Water Matter in the West?
with Heather Hansman
Heather Hansman is a freelance writer and editor who writes about a range of topics, from butchers to birth control, though most of what she covers happens outside. She is interested in the intersection of science, adventure, and culture and is the environmental columnist for Outside online. She also writes for The Guardian, Sierra, and The New York Times.
Heather’s first book, Downriver: Into the Future of Water in the West, was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2019. It details her trip down the length of the Green River and the water system in the Western U.S. Her second book, Powder Days: Ski Bums, Ski Towns, and the Future of Chasing Snow, was released in November 2021 and is about the fantasy of living the ski bum dream, and why it’s not always as dreamy as it seems. Heather lives in Seattle.
