Northwest Skier Magazine History

Way back in the summer of 1958, in Yakima Washington, Bill Tanler started a little newsletter sized magazine he called "Northwest Skier."

The industry was new in the US but devotees clamored to the mountains to ski on what we now know was prehistoric equipment, zipping down virgin hills devoid of other skiers.

The size and format of the magazine changed over time eventually becoming a slick 8x10 format and then a larger tabloid size with large color photos and longer articles. In 1993, the ownership of the magazine changed too, ending up with Xtreme Publishing and now Plumbob Publishing.

Ski equipment has become highly technical and so has this publication. With the impact of the Internet, Northwest Skier has now become an online only magazine. But that allows us more room for articles, bigger & better photos, a limitless archive, reference material and more.

Help us with History

Over the years many of the old print magazines have disappeared and now we are now looking for prior readers to see how will have copies.

If so, we want to ask to have them digitzed for safe keeping, and we'll return them to the owners. If you happen to have any copies, please call us today.
