hello,

i love reading, but i often don't have the attention span or time to finish really long stuff. as a result, i really love to read magazines. i thought it would be fun to compile a small collection of my favorite ski writing from magazines like the New Yorker, NYT Magazine, Outdoors, etc. feel free to contribute any articles you love to my list!
