Will Sladek – General Manager of onX Backcountry

Season 6, Episode 100Will Sladek is the General Manager of onX Backcountry. Will helps lead one of the most influential tools in modern backcountry travel. onX Backcountry has changed how skiers, snowboarders, and mountain travelers plan routes, manage risks, and understand terrain. From mapping and land ownership to avalanche forecasting, weather, and now high-resolution satellite imagery, onX has become a go-to platform for people who spend real time in the mountains. Today, we get into the nuts and bolts – how onX Backcountry actually works, how big their team is, how many people are using it, what problems they are trying to solve, and why their user experience stands out in an increasingly crowded space. We also talk about decision-making in the backcountry, spring ski mountaineering, satellite imagery, and how technology is shaping the way we move through wild places.
