Writers and Photographers

Ski Canada is noted for editorial excellence. Our writers and photographers are among the best in alpine snowsports media. Here's a sample of just a few:

George Koch has travelled to war zones as well as ski hills in preparing the thousands of articles he's written over his 20-year career. He holds an MA in journalism, was a recipient of a National Magazine Award and continues to write for numerous publications besides Ski Canada.

Former editor in chief of Fall Line Skiing in the U.K., Leslie Woit has had no home base for years but chooses to travel the world in search of the perfect ski destination for a host of magazines and newspapers including Ski Canada.

Toronto-based James Christie has covered six Winter Olympics, numerous World Cups and the full range of amateur and pro sport in more than 30 years with The Globe and Mail.

Steven Threndyle published his first story in Ski Canada in 1987 about flunking the Level II exam. He can write better than he skis. He loves backcountry powder, hates gates, and believes that every skier should turn a non-skier onto the sport. He lives in Kelowna, B.C., with his snowboarding wife, son, and daughter. He is eternally grateful for the fact that his son does not play hockey, so he can go skiing on Saturdays.

Ian Merringer is the editor of Canoeroots , the former editor of Rapid and Adventure Kayak and has won a national magazine award for his work with Explore magazine.

Andrew Findlay has been a freelance journalist for eight years, publishing his work on topics as diverse as wild horses and forgotten ski hills in magazines like Ski Canada, Canadian Geographic, Explore, Westworld, B.C. Business, Canadian Wildife, EnRoutre and numerous other magazines.

Chris Lennon has an extensive competitive background, currently resides in Whistler and writes for various ski and travel publications in North America and New Zealand.

Free is the operative word in Ryan Stuart's life; he's a free-heel skier, freelance writer – for publications like BC Business, Backcountry and The Globe and Mail – and gear editor for Explore magazine, where he gets to try all kinds of gear...you guessed it, for free.

Marty MacLennan is a former advisor to the Nagano Olympic Ski Patrol and author of Lobster's Family Guide to North American Ski Resorts, Marty calls anywhere with good skiing home. A freelancer by trade and vagabond at heart, he presently resides in Vancouver where he teaches photojournalism at Simon Fraser University.

Doug Sager is a former Cairo correspondent for CBC and CBS News. Doug abandoned the Egyptian desert for the skifields of Switzerland 25 years ago. In addition to being Ski Canada's longest serving columnist he has been ski correspondent for a number of British publications, including The Times, The European and Vogue.

Kim Thompson is a Whistler-based writer with bylines in publications such as Adventurous Magazine, British Columbia Magazine, Whistler the Magazine, the Province, and Off-Piste Magazine. Thompson is on staff as sports editor for the Whister Question newspaper and has twice won the Best Sports Pages Better Newspapers Competition. A writer by trade, Thompson’s slightly addicted to fresh lines, new crags, and whitewater.

Arnie Wilson spent 15 years in television - 10 of them on screen - before becoming the London-based Financial Times ski correspondent in 1986. In 2001 he became editor of Ski+board, the Ski Club of Great Britain’s magazine. . In 1994 he skied every day for a year - a feat which took him to 240 resorts in 13 countries around the world, and into the Guinness Book of Records. Wilson is also the author of ski books. He has now skied in 660 resorts in 26 countries. His next mission is to ski in all 40 of America’s "skiing states" – he has four to go.

Eric Berger Originally from Montreal, Eric moved to Whistler in the fall of 1986 after studying photography at the CEGEP Du Vieux Montréal. It was in Whistler that he combined his love of photography with his passion for skiing and snowboarding to create a successful career as an action sports photographer. He was a Senior Contributing Photographer with Transworld Snowboarding Magazine for twelve years and continues to work with numerous action-sports publications and high profile clients worldwide.

From the beginning, Eric's eye has been drawn to raw wilderness as the backdrop of his success. Delivering action poised on the edge of consequence, his images are at once daunting and inspiring. At home in the backcountry and remote locations, his visual merging of high-risk sport, alpine topography and evocative composition have given him a signature look and international respect.
