Northwest Skier, 1958-91I have a fairly complete set of Northwest Skier magazines, thanks to Joan Brown, who published the magazine for many years with her husband Ian. For an inventory, click here. If the Notes column says "reference," then the contents may be useful for future reference, but I haven't made detailed notes on them for now. The ID column has links to my review notes.
Note: My original review of the magazine produced more hand-written references than I've typed up here. I've saved those notes in my paper files. (See LDS, NW Skier raw notes.)
