[Buster Highmen]

Captain Beefheart?

[Sutter]

why does tanner hall always look like frankenstein on lithium?

[telepariah]

Leeeeeeeeroooooy Jennnnnnnnkins!!!!!

Did I get that right?

[Mcwop]

Benny Wilson, Warren Miller (love hom or hate him), many other possibilities.

[Hutch]

Great issue.

I didn't like the cover. It should have shown skiing.

Of these,


I'd say Scott Schmidt.

[Rontele]

Me.

12345

[GoldMember]

I'd have to go with......Sarah Burke, Glen Plake, Tanner Hall, Seth Morrison, Wayne Wong, Scot Schmidt, J.P. Auclair, Mike Douglas, and Wendy Fisher.

[soul_skier]

scott schmidt should have been more front and center, he shouldn't be behind anyone

[iceman]

Isn't that Hank Kashiwa?

[hemas]

Dominique (sp?) Perret or possibly Sylvia Saudain, 'nuff said.

[Schmear]

Of those pictured, Schmidt or Plake. Considering the 35-year span, both changed skiing and both are still relevant today.

[Buster Highmen]

Honestly, I'd say it's a good cover. There's a lot of worthy folks who've passed on.

If it were bigger I'd include Nobis and Gordy, Patrick Russell and Jean-Noel Augert, Bob Burns, John Clendenin, Bill Kidd, Jimmy Heuga, The Maier bros, Candide Thovex, McConkey, Anselm Baud, Sylvan Saudan, The Herminator, The Quebecois Air Force among others...

[Schmear]

Anyone else feel like they're being watched while reading this issue?

[iceman]

Sylvia Saudain

She rocks.

[Buster Highmen]

Anyone else feel like they're being watched while reading this issue?

Nah, that bus is too long.

[glademaster]

McConkey should have been there for sure, and Schmidt should have been more prominent. Hattrup maybe?

[XtrPickels]

I like the idea of the picture
Sarah Burke just doesn't do it for me as a skier.
The Warren Miller suggestion is one I wouldn't have though of, but agreed.

I also would have liked a larger piece on Doug. Somehow incorporate him in there, not because of the recent tragedy but because he truly deserves a cover shot in that situation. How this could have been, I'm not sure. Them standing around a picture could have been too somber.

[Brewski2]

WTF!?! No McConkey? He pretty much ushered in the fat ski era and has basicaly been blowing minds for a good 10 years. Otherwise it looks like a good line up.

[NW John Galt]

Franz Klammer, Hermann Maier, Edgard Grospiron, Anselme Baud, Pierre Tardivel, Marc Girardelli - there's a world outside North America.

[str8line]

Huge omission.

[mtbakerskier]

Nah, that bus is too long.

Well I was hoping for a short bus, wich would probally have been more fitting, but one never came by

[Dantheman]

WTF!?! No McConkey? He pretty much ushered in the fat ski era and has basicaly been blowing minds for a good 10 years.

Ditto on that, he really should have been in there.

[Crinkle]

mcconkey was in the issue, just not on the cover.

I bet he was too busy hucking bridges to bother with a photo shoot.

[PNWbrit]

Could have had them holding signs saying "Thanks Doug"
