Words From our Magazine Brethren

3/16/99

Every winter, like the Swallows of San Juan Capistrano, the editors of TransWorld's snow magazines eschew the warmth and good cheer of Southern California and head out into the wild white wonderland. Their mission: to gather interesting stories, take wonderful photos, and collect notes that will later be compiled into what is our fine family of magazines.

Since they are out there, we thought it would be a good idea to have them send back the occasional digital postcard; just a few words and images about where they are, what they're doing, and what's going on in the world of snowboarding.

The stories listed below are the record of these travels. Click on one and follow along.

Hah hah.
