You made it! That final corner has been turned and the dog days of summer are finally in the rearview mirror. It's coming, and that tingly feeling you just got inside is not a figment of your imagination. It's real and finally here--Volume 37 Issue 1 of Powder Magazine.

Hitting newsstands and mailboxes across the continent today, the September 2008 issue is the first issue of Powder printed entirely on recycled paper. The trusted look and feel from years past is still there. Jam-packed with over 100 skis, boots and bindings, the 2009 Buyer's Guide features the latest reviews on the newest gear. See exactly what companies have been up to in their deep, dark, foreboding laboratories with up-to-date specs and graphics--plenty to fill the inner gear whore in you.

Along with the Buyer's Guide, relive the greatest season ever with compelling written and photographic accounts, read up on Simon Dumont's world record boost, Schweitzer's Stashes and join photographer Christian Pondella as he follows Chris Davenport and Stian Hagen on their quest to ski the four classic peaks of the European Alps.

Speaking of reliving last year's incredible winter, the magazine is bursting with images covering the entire season. The shooting gallery features some of the best steeps, airs, and powder from this past season.

If you can't find it in the Buyer's Guide, don't sweat. Powder.com will feature a full online version of the 2009 Buyer's Guide with even more product reviews--over a 150 skis--and a direct ‘Buy Now' link so you can load up on all the gear you just read about.

Relax, take a deep breath and calm down. Powder is here, snow has fallen in Colorado, and the season is closer than you think. Before you know it, you'll be buried chest high in the best stuff on earth. Powder To The People!
