Gunder (you may recognize his stair trail shot from the cover of this year’s Powder mag buyer’s guide) and the rest of the NW crew over at The Ski Journal have put together a sick hardcover version of their photobook this year available for special order at their site. While technically it’s got the same innards as the softbound version available at your local newsstand the special order hardcover version has had the amps turned up to 11 – it’s not everyday there’s a coffee table worthy snow porn book hits the market. Seems like a pretty good deal, a subscription runs you about $40, but you can get a 1 year sub with the $35 book for $55.  The Ski Journal hardcover Innards and gizzards Gunder's star trail shot I have no relation with to guys whatsoever, I just happen to be a big fan of good photography (in fact I bought a print of the star trail shot late last year) and my coffee table is full of random photo books like this one. You might be thinking “wait, what does beer have to do with backcountry skiing and snowboarding?” If you’re thinking this you’ve obviously never gone with any of my crew. NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING, tastes better after a long day/weekend of slogging than an ice cold beer. Gatorade for the soul if you will. Thus, in honor of beer I’ll feature a personal favorite every Friday. I’ll try to keep it to beers that are relatively easy to attain, as opposed to specialty/at the brewery only beers, so you can try ‘em in the comfort of your own home or at the end of your own tour. This week’s lucky beer is the Buzzsaw Brown, coming to us from the Deschutes Brewery in the sunshine state of Oregon. While not the greatest brown I’ve had (that title is currently held by Rogue’s brown ale), nor is it the best available beer by Deschutes, it gets this week’s beer Friday title as: 1) it’s currently sitting beside me Anyways, it’s Friday, I hope everyone is able to get out this weekend and enjoy the great outdoors!
