SKIING IS THE BESTEST
Not to get all meta on y’all, but this was easily the most concise, yet open-ended assignment letter an editor has ever sent me.
In a recent email, Powder Editor John Clary Davies asked me: Why is skiing important? And why do we ski?
Holy cow, that’s beautiful. Spare as Hemingway, philosophical as Kant. So: Skiing is important because it’s in the Olympics, which means America gives a shit about it every four years.
