It may be sunny and the corn high as a house where you live, but up here in the shadow of Mt. Baker in Washington state--or southern Alaska as Mike Ditka once called us--it's cloudy, cool, and rainy, pretty much the way it is most of the year. The winter-like appearance of our August sky is providing extra motivation to get the second issue of The Ski Journal to the printer and to your mail boxes in as little as a few weeks. After a short hiatus in publishing (our premiere issue came out in January), issue TSKJ 2.1 is set to make industry waves with some of the best alpine photography and writing on the planet.

We won't give anything away here, but there's a little bit of everything from rocket science to gaiters and wool knickers, BC fairy tales to lawsuits and ammo. And Mohawks. Subscribe now to be first in line.
