New issue: cover sneak preview!
It’s that time again. Art Director Ken Seabrook is ferrying over to Vancouver tomorrow to oversee the press run of our Winter 2009 issue. Here is your SNEAK PREVIEW of the new cover:
What’s inside? Here are just a few teasers:
* For our special, 14-page “Do-it-yourself winter games” editorial package, we challenged our writers to try snowboarding, biathlon, alpine skiing, luge, hockey, and speed skating in wintery sites around British Columbia. Their enthusiastic adventures—and misadventures, including inglorious face plants and downhill tumbles—prove that B.C.’s snowscapes, mountains, and frozen ponds are not just for elite athletes, but for every outdoors-loving British Columbia with a spirit of adventure.
* Meet British Columbia’s first Olympic hero, sprinter Percy Williams, who astonished the running world by taking not ONE but TWO gold medals in 1928.
* Sprinting cougars, wrestling bears, salmon swimming marathons! Our photo essay of outstanding wildlife “action photos” showcases athletic feats of strength, speed, and endurance from the animal kingdom.
PLUS
* Dogsledding in the Cariboo. Love those Huskies!
* Backcountry skiing in the Purcells.
* The 2010 Cultural Olympiad. * A thrill ride on Whistler-Blackcomb’s Peak2Peak Gondola. * Environmental initiatives for a “greener Games.” * The Four Host Nations. * Legacies of 2010. * And more!
