For Escapism’s bumper autumn 2024 196-page issue, we’re packing our bags for two of our favourite places: the mountains and the good old United States of America - with a double Ski + Snow / USA special for the ages. Strap in for extensive roundups on once-in-a-lifetime travel opportunities in the United States, as well as the top ski experiences around the world for winter 2024/2025, with comprehensive equipment and apparel guides. Get ready for first-person powder reportage from three different continents – these include the iconic snow of Park City, Utah; the ski culture of the Japanese Alps; fine dining in Austria; and àpres in Val d’Isere. In the American section, we’re dipping into NYC; California’s Central Coast; Cincinnati and more. And outside of the USA, we’ve got the usual blend of striking travel photography, UK and short-haul breaks, news and reviews and the best new travel gear, too.
