SKI Magazine's best of the season
We kicked off the year with our annual Buyer's Guide (opener above). This year, we wanted the skis to be sexy and the words easy to absorb. We added small graphs of data from our ski test with quick hits of information for the reader, and we made the skis bigger than ever before.
We love gear, but we also fell in love with faces. Real skiers read our magazine, and we wanted them to connect with the community around them. We launched that initiative with this sweetie in October's Resort Guide.
And we followed it up with portraits by Jeff Minton and J.C. Leacock in High-Country Heroes.
For the record, nobody shoots ski action with a large-format film camera. It's just too hard. But Matthew Turley did just that with a beautiful shoot at The Canyons Resort for the November issue.
Peter Frank Edwards captured the essence (cold!) of skiing in Maine for our January issue. We knew he would his aesthetic would be perfect for the story, but we were so excited about how the images told our story that we couldn't use just one or two on the opener.
February brought us the Olympics, and a chance to show off our more racy side.
We are using the off-season to redesign Skiing Magazine, which is a sister magazine to SKI within Bonnier Mountain Group. The new design will launch in September, so keep an eye out.
