TSIL is one of the longest running publications in the industry. It was founded by Bill Tanler, who also founded Ski Tech, Ski Racing and Ski Travel. Its mission has never changed. Only now it gets to you faster.
Industry veteran journalists I. William Berry and Craig Altschul took over TSIL in 1981 with Berry as publisher and editor. In the 1980s and early 90s, the newsletter was mailed 12 times a year in a 12 page format.
When Berry died in 1994, his son Greg operated TSIL for two years and then sold it to two other industry veterans, Bob Gillen and Lois Friedland in 1996. Gillen had been a well-respected marketing and public relations professional at several ski areas, including Crested Butte, Stowe Mountain Resort and Sugarbush Resort. He served as publisher and Friedland was editor-in-chief.
In the 90s, the mailed newsletter became a faxletter and as the internet and email became more available, it eventually switched to all email.
While the methods of delivery have changed, our mission has not. Timely, informative and honest coverage of the news that affects you.
