“North” magazine is a new publication that lifts up local people and places for visitors and those who live here.

Started by local real estate agent Tracy Ramsay, “North” comes out twice a year.

“Our mission is to celebrate the people, the places, and the experiences that define the culture in our region,” she said.

The most recent issue features a gorgeous North Shore home, a backcountry skiing adventure, a photographer who does his best work in extreme cold, and a road trip to discover sauna culture.

Editor-in-Chief Frank Roffers is excited about how “North” is combining technology with print.

“Some of our pages in a lot of our articles, we have QR codes. And if you scan it, it will take you to a 3-minute, 5-minute video of something that’s really highly produced and very interesting,” he said.

The existing issues and subscriptions to future ones can be purchased online.
