Winter is coming; the Ski Canada buyers' guide is out

Rushing the season is now commonplace -- people talking about the "end of summer" about the second week of August in the midst of a heat wave. But an annual indicator of inevitable snowy days to come is the release of the annual buyers guide from Ski Canada magazine. Subscribers will be getting it during the coming week and it will be on newwstands starting September 3. It's all about skis, boots, bindings and related gear and has features about Jasper and skiing in Switzerland.
