I know the feeling!

I picked up 6 brochures yesterday afternoon, out of sheer frustration at having about 18 weeks to wait.

18! I wish!!about 29 or something for me!!!!!!

The Skier and Snowboarder
Daily Mail Ski & Snowboard Mag
Fall Line
Snow
Good Ski Guide
The Piste
Ski & Board
Most of these dont start publishing until October, and finish around March though.

There are also some boarding mags like White Lines, Document Snowboard etc if you like pics of arses hanging out of pink trousers.

In addition there are some one off publications too, like Where to Ski and Snowboard, which is going to print right now I believe.

There will also be a new mag on the market sometime in 2009 that is going to print every 2 months all year round. Watch this space, thats all I am saying.

i've been watching for 4 and a half hours and nothings happened.

This item, taking advantage of the rainy weather, co-incides with phase one of me eco-friendlying my house. Phase one is to upgrade the loft insulation to half a metre thick. So this precipitated a loft clearout, 32 years of accumulation of 40 years of garbage.

Hundreds of cardboard boxes were opened and checked, 95% rubbish, 5% historical gems. Old pics of ski classes, certificates, race pics, boxes of bindings, several pairs of sticks, ten pairs of skis, three went to the tip.

Engineering mags, Gearbox brochures, college projects, patent certificates, motors, fans, fix-it books on all the cars I ever owned.....

So, among the pile of old ski stuff, appears two ski mags.

Ski World, October '73, Frontpiece is a pic of young lady, yellow ski suit, sat right back on her skis, going at speed over a bump, ski top open to the waist...Yup.Inside, boots for sale, new, £25_£35. GlobalSki offering ski holidays to Mayrhofen, Niederau, St Anton, etc, from £27. A feature on Obergurgl, two weeks from £59. Ski insurance £4.

Skiing Jan 1974. Jean Claude Killy's own Story. Coverage of inaugaral hotdogging association. An article by Junior Bounos, a powder master, who began teaching at Alta in 1947. He describes side-slipping in powder. A watercolour of "Little Cottonwood Canyon, Snowbird. Oh, and the Snowbird lift pass was $7 a day.

I might just keep these gems.
