Props to our man slip, way to remain incognito.
KD, Thanks to you and Powder for turning the mag around, however, I blame you for my complete lack of motivation to do anything all day yesterday when the October issue came in the mail.
i wouldn't dream of it ;) you can be on the look out this week for sureQuote:

Got it thursday man did that make my night!!!! REALLY digging the way you guys set up the gear review section KD nice work, makes life a hell of a lot easier then trying to decypher the SKI and SKIING review garbage, just give me the skis dammnit.
Cover shot is SICK!!!http://powdermag.com/news/octcoverlarge.jpg
Yup, its cool to see all the skis we always talk about all grouped together how they should be, and not by brand.Quote:

My only complaint is that the print is white and the background photo is baby blue snow, it makes it very hard for me to read twards the bottom of the page where the photo gets really light.
Seriously.Quote:

No, seriously.
Ditto on that Steep. I had to sit under a bright light with glasses on to read the reviews.Quote:

On a different note ... The Stockli Stormrider XL is hardly an East coast ski only. Though it excells on groomers and hardpack/ice, I have found it is superb in pow and crud as well. That's my 2 pennies worth. ;)
I forgot the Anthony Lakes Oregon love as well. :cool:
KD- When the hell are you gonna run some of Shieldy's shit?
When Powder wakes up, and then they'll be running Werkels shit too.Quote:

KD, you know what I dig about the Oct. issue is that you have the Shooting Gallery right up front. Awesome. I also kinda dig the Letters section being in the back. I like reading them, but it's such a rush when you open the mag and within just a few pages you're bombarded by the sicko pics of the Shooting Gallery. It's like song #1 on your favorite album - it gets you charged for the rest of it.
MBS, that Intro pic is sweet! I dig it more than the cover shot. Seems like you couldn't really put that shot on the cover because of the composition (KD, is this true?), but for artistic value, I'd say it's the coolest pic in the issue. I want a poster of that pic and Chris Pondella's pic #1 in Shooting Gallery.
Thanks to Powder for getting my winter drool going in early September.
I gotta disagree with sponcered, I am a big fan of the build, and having the shooting gallery up front with nothing higher on the stoke level for the rest of the mag-- it's blowing yer load a little early.
Of course I am no editor and it is a mundane detail, who cares.
man i hate seeing the new issue in the grocery store before my mailbox.
KD - Did I see correctly in the powdercat and heliski guide, that Tracker DTS trancievers are now 179 bucks? Was that a typo, or are they really that price now?
I love the aformentioned guide, which I guess came in subscriber-only copies; and while I'm unlikely to use those services myself the added pictures (and heft) made an already fantasic issue just amazing. Especially compared to the shit that was last year - no offense guys, but it was really bad.
cool touch using the old Strategic Air Command badge too ;)
The 179.00 price used to be dealer cost. I dont know if it is a typo or not, since I havent seen any dealer / proforms from BCA lately but I'd be suprised if they dropped the price that much
yeah, I would too, considering most other beacons are still solidly in the 250-300 range
Thanks for the info KD,I like others am still waiting for mine to show up.From what little I've seen it looks good!
