Yeah, that's right. The guys over at The Ski Journal are stepping it up and hooking EVERYONE who posted a story up with at least an issue of their mag.
The top story will be edited and put to print in their annual photobook, with the other two runner-ups being posted on www.theskijournal.com. Unfortunately you guys will have to wait until it's released to see if you were the winner, but that's just another reason to buy the most legit magazine around.
So if your username was posted, you should post your name, address and email address so that we can ship out your prizes ASAP. If for some reason you are not comfortable posting it in here, feel free to pm me.
Oh yeah, and check out the new issue while you're at it!
Issue 2.4
With winter finally showing its face in the Pacific Northwest, TSKJ issue 2.4 is rolling out the door and spreading the stoke eastward to Silverton, Stowe, and beyond.
The birth and re-birth of skiing are major themes in 2.4. First, contributor Lisa Richardson writes about an ancient ski culture living in the Altai Mountains of Northwestern China, near the Continental Pole of Inaccessibility. Turns out the locals there have been skiing on handmade wooden boards for thousands of years. Next, Jack Shaw revisits Clambin, Switzerland, where John Falkiner, Ace Kvale, Mark Shapiro, and a handful of legends (including Scot Schmidt, Glen Plake, and Mike Hattrup) changed the face of skiing in the ‘80s and early ‘90s by setting up shop in the massive peaks and gnarly lines of the Alps, producing iconic images that exposed big-mountain skiing to the masses. In many ways Clambin was the birthplace of modern freeskiing.
History lessons aside, leader of the new school Simon Dumont discusses world-record air and life-threatening injuries with filmmaker Kris Ostness, while the denial of women ski jumpers by the International Olympic Committee is questioned by writer Vanessa Pierce. Furthermore, Whistler photographer Blake Jorgensen contributes a gallerie of transcendent images from Coast Range sled-scapes to Japanese tree lines.
A tribute to filmmaking luminary Dick Barrymore through the narrative of Surfer’s Journal publisher Steve Pezman and compatriot Bruce Brown, a conversation with Greg Stump, and more round out Issue 2.4—an exposition on the history of our sport and the current state of skiing.
