New Frequency out Now


Issue 6.2
The Fall 2007 issue is hitting shelves just in time for the snow to start flying. Features include an interview with Austrian powder pirate Gigi Rüf, a four day powder and champagne binge on a private heli-equipped yacht, the rich history of Lake Tahoe’s Boreal Mountain Resort, summer camp in Iceland where the sun hardly sets, a gallery of images from Spacecraft’s Stefan Hofmann, and an urban mission to the Canadian Province of Québec. Commentary on Let it Ride: The Craig Kelly Story, Whistler artist Vanessa Stark, the art of grabbing stalefish, Whistler’s new gondola, and, finally, the number one commodity being plundered by aliens here on planet earth—the scarce and highly flexible element known as Boron—rounds out the issue. Getting you ready for another year of riding, it’s frequency: TSJ’s eighteenth installment.




Gigi Rüf
The Black Book Diaries: Gigi Rüf Interview: Senior Editor John Laing speaks with globetrotting Austrian Gigi Rüf about growing up in the Austrian Alps, the effects of global warming, snowboard travel, and the importance of making friends along the way. Gigi Rüf Rüf is on his own program.




Blades of Glory
The Seven Circles of Extravagance: Luxury Travel: Senior Writer Dan Kostrzewski can’t believe his luck when he is given a pass aboard a 201 foot luxury yacht, the Absinthe, for a four day heli-boarding odyssey in British Columbia’s Desolation Sound. Beer can chicken on a glacier, heli-fishing, and a bottomless glass of Dom accompany pow turns captured on film by Eric Berger. This trip might just have spoiled him for good.
