Indiana Skiing piece on newsstands

DateMonday, December 21, 2009 at 09:45AM

My piece about the wonders of skiing at Paoli Peaks, in southern Indiana, is out in the January issue of Skiing Magazine. Titled "Graveyard Shift" in a nod to Paoli's reputation as a nightskiing destination--open until 3am on weekends--it features some great photos by Vancouver-based photographer Ilja Herb. Due to one of those quirks of scheduling, Ilja and I caught Paoli on very different weekends; where I found slush raining from the sky and novice skiers in Carhartt overalls, he found girls in bikinis and shirtless, tattooed guys skiing in jeans. The issue doesn't seem to be online yet, so why not support the magazine and go buy a hard copy?

Dear Tim, I have been working/hanging out at Paoli Peaks for 32 years. You come for a weekend, and nail it! Very cleverly written and great photography! You need to come back and get the rest of the story! The Pro Shop is at you disposal!!!
