Wanted: Powder Magazine Back Issues

Looking for anything pre-1998.

Specifically interested in late 80's & early 90's.

But would be interested in anything in decent condition.

Send PM if you have anything collecting dust you'd like to unload!

I have. Both Powder and some SKI/Skiing. Lets figure a way to get them to you.

I have early 80s

Hi

I have 25 issues from December 1979 - January 1985, if you're interested in issues that old. They are in very, very good shape (I was a comic book collector for 20+ years). Many are in individual protective bags.
I'm in Canada and they are heavy and shipping might be considerable.

Let me know if you're interested.

Steven

I only want one. Photo Annual, mid 80's, were the center page/poster was an out of control DH racer with a couple of gates wrapped around his stomach.

If its one Tyrone doesn't want or need, I could send a sixer for it.

Hi Tief

One member has contacted me first and he may get the whole lot. The issue you are after is the Fall 1984 Photo Annual. I scanned the cover and centerfoled. Is this the shot you mean?

Steven

Yep, thats the one. I love that pic.

oooops

just hired a dumpster and among the household carnage sacrificed was nearly 20 years of Ski, Skiing, Snow country, Professional Skier(PSIA) and Powder magazine.....in particular I had all the buyers guides for Ski, Skiing and Powder going back to I think 89.....

Had similar collections of Tennis Magazine, Golf and Golf Digest which mostly went too.

Mrs hrstrat57 said(as she was parting with her long packratted items)

Isn't it time to let this stuff go? I no longer could mount a defense for keeping the stuff...sadly most were in mint condition. Thought about ebay for a few seconds but....

I'd try to dig em out but they are on the bottom......

and I can't break the sacred dumpster rule....

once it goes in it can't come out

17 pairs of skis went in too btw......

WHAATTTTT??????????

Family of 5 all skiers......

A bit of a partial inventory....

Rossi STS 170 / white...mint
Rossi 4sk 200-203 multiple pairs, olive, black and teal
Olin DXK 205 orange...mint
Olin RTS 205 1989 version...mint
Olin DTSL 200
Head TR16 200
multiple jr skis all straight....
Elan MBX16 190
Rossi 7gk 208
Volkl sl 203 yellow
Rossi 7sk 203
Volkl P40 platinum 183

Indemnif binding were pulled for eventual sale on ebay...non indemn bindings went in with the skis.....

This leaves me with my lowest personal inventory of skis in over 20 years...

Volkl explosiv
2 pair of RX8's
Volkl allstar
K2 four for the rocks
Rossignol 4sk 203(I kept the purtiest pair with solly 957 equipes)


I counted 17 pair total (but might have been more)as they went in.....I was saving to build an adirondack chair or 2....

I finally admitted it wasn't gonna happen

I regularly ski a 201 4SK. What condition were the 7SK's and the other 203 4SK? The 7SK is still the most versatile ski I've skied yet...

Most of the Rossi's were pretty beat, I pro formed at the time and went thru a couple of pair a year teaching. Most were drilled twice as well.

One pair tho was 200cm 4sk (1992) the rare black with the pink/white bottoms. Those prob had about 25 days on em.....

The dumpster pulled out yesterday....sorry. Had these in about 3 yard sales....no one around here appreciates the classic, top of the line vintage, old school ride like you....thus the dumpster. Had them all marked as free. Toyed with the idea of taking them all to say Cannon mountain and leaving them in the rack for someone to appreciate them....but I pulled most of the bindings and did real nicely selling those on ebay. All bindings were top of the line.....Look z's or solly equipes mostly. Sale of the bindings actually pretty much covered my purchase of my Volkl exploders last year....

No takers on the skis free in the yard sales.

I plan on keeping the one pair I still have....1992 last year graphics teal. I looked at them last night they are not 203, they are 200cm with solly 957 equipes. They were the 3rd pair from the 92/93 season(I was well over 100 days on snow that year) Pro formed 2 pair and got slipped a shop form deal on those......

At one time I had as many as 4 pair of Rossi 4 sk active....what a great ski....the 200 and the 203 had diff personalities....200 was quick and the 203 was a great cruiser....

Agree huge on the Rossi 7sk....esp the final year (1993?) Awesome skis...and beautiful. Was gonna keep those too....but mrs hrstrat57 put the hammer down. I battled and whined hard to keep the k2 fours and the 4sk's.....

I have a pair of 2 oh something 7SK's, the yellow ones, if someone wants them.

Sorry for the Hijack, Ty

hrstrat57,
Would have figured someone would have picked up a pair or two for longboard day but I guess not...My transition to shaped/fattie skis has been a slow one: I regularly ski a mint Dynastar S9 and Rossi EX's, both too cheap to pass up, unwilling to pay more than $100 for a pair of shapes at ski swaps(Yeah, I'm cheap). My 4SK's(with matching poles!) are in excellent shape for being my supposed rock/spring skis. The inevitable chair conversation-of-the-day begins with a stare at my skis and the suggestion I "demo a pair of these(lifting of skis). They "ski a lot easier". I nod appreciatively and answer, "I do pretty good with these" and have. I've made more breakthroughs with these skis than any other, so leaving them behind hasn't been an easy task. The change is coming in a big way, though. I've got two pair of unmounted Sally Swallowtails and a pair of 179 Bros in the quiver now. We'll see if my straight skis get pushed aside this season...

Phil,
PM when you get ready to throw out those 7SK's. I may take you up on them.

also sorry for the hijack but I do love talking old school.....

mmmthmtskier,

Nothing wrong with old school my friend, nothing at all. I try to take at least a quick whirl on the 4 sk's every winter...just to make sure I can still actually ski without the cheater technology of today

Regarding converting to new school I found the free demo team vids you can click on in my signature a huge help in my journey. It is coming along quite nicely for me. I get some pretty good angles on the super shaped stuff.

The fat skis I picked up last year are also real eye openers....

New school is good.....but I never forget how much fun I had on say my Olin RTS 205's with look z turntables. Life was good in the dark ages too!!!

thanks for the rap!!:

oh no! I may have been snaked in my own thread! I haven't checked this thread in a few days (well, a week I guess actually...)....are these Powder mags still available? Sending you a PM....

I have old POWDER mags for sale. Includes Vol 20 issues 5-7, Vol 21, 22, 23 complete issues 1-7. Pristine condition. Covers 1992-1995. Make an offer

I have magazines from 1979 / 1980 from the following publishers -

SKIING - Powder - and Ski America.

 

Let me know if you are interested.

Tyrone,

 

I have a stack of old ski mags dating back to the 70's & maybe even a few from the 60's.  I'm sure there are some POWDER's in there somewhere.  They are in Tahoe, & I won't be back there till July sometime.

 

If you are still looking then, try to PM me at that time & I will take a look.

Hi,

I also posted in another thread last year, but just thought to make a new reply to keep this one current.

I'm looking for issues from Volumes 1 - 10.

Thank you,
A White Raven

Also,

Even though this thread is for free stuff, I don't expect these for free. I'm willing to pay what they are worth ...
