About The Ski Journal

The Ski Journal is published by funny feelings LLC, publishers of frequency The Snowboarder’s Journal since 2001. The world’s first coffee-table snowboard publication, and winner of the national Maggie Award for Best Quarterly, frequency TSJ quickly caught the attention of the world’s skiers. Soon, they were asking when we would be publishing something of the same high-quality for them. Now we are.

funny feelings LLC is located in Bellingham, WA near legendary Mt. Baker and it’s 700+ annual inches, as well as Whistler-Blackcomb, and the North Cascade Wilderness Area.
