Well, another day of not slashing the snow or catching air off cattracks, and I’m barely staving off boredom. Thankfully Facebook, in all its glory, has once again come to the rescue delivering me with a few minutes of photo-filled fun! Freeskier Magazine has made available, through their namesake Facebook group, a collection of all the covers they’ve run since their inception 10 years ago. Click here to check them all out, starting with Jonny Mosely and Cindy Crawford dancing with the Stars and Stripes on the first issue. Add yourself as a fan to their group if you like what you see.
My top five (in no specific order):
Because, really, Saucerboy kept skiing the fun-filled shit-show that it really is! This cover tells it all and leaves nothing out; just look at the connoisseur’s approach to mixing snowlerblades and climbing gear, the Jack Daniels toque with the kneepads. I love it!
Henrik Windstedt is on this issue’s cover, and inside the magazine proclaims him as one of the best skiers ever. I totally agree, and after this season’s inaugural Freeride World Tour, we’re once again being treated to the Henrik show.
This cover made it in the top five, but only because it is soooo lame. Really? How can this dude even fit goggles, or even a hat, over that super-stylish hair? I’m pretty sure this guy brings his mocha latte on the gondola. He looks
like a creep. What were you thinking Freeskier??
I remember being given a free copy of Freeskier during an early fall ski and snowboard club festival back in college. There was this mohawked dude on the cover just spitting out the headlines; at first glance, I was hooked. Then I learned about twin-tips. Thanks Freeskier!
This cover just reminds me of why and how I’ve dropped everything in life in the pursuit of skiing. Pow. Pow pow pow. More pow. I want, I need, I love. Pow.
