"It is here, and it is good," begins the glowing review of The Ski Journal issue #2.1 by author, critic, and backcountry blogger extraordinaire Lou Dawson, whose opinion on all things technical and cultural in the ski industry turns heads from ski-shop boot rooms to corporate boardrooms. "You open up Ski Journal and the ski porn hits your retina like you?re staring at the sun with your eyelids duct taped," he continues. "The format is big, almost full bleed to the edges with color reproduction that yields painterly tones that seem to engage senses beyond the optic nerve." Read Lou's entire critique Here
And from the French title, Skieur :
Translation: ?The second issue of The Ski Journal is out, and it's another success, both in form and content. A coffee table format with images worth fawning over, it's also as dense as a newspaper in weight as well as content. A large article on Shane MacConkey, a return to the madness of the 80's with mythical [director?] Greg Stump, a little on Jackson Hole, a little "east coast" skiing in Vermont, and even an alpine piece on Kitsbuhel. With contributions from experienced journalists (Jeff Galbraith, Grant Gunderson, Kris Kaiyala, etc.) formerly of Powder, Snowboarder, Skier and others, we wish a long life to this American cousin and the format that made The Surfer's Journal great...?
