Submitting Contributions to the Yearbook

The contents of this page are also available as a separate file (e.g. for printing or e-mailing) here.

The yearbook editors welcome articles from members about all ski tours that they have been involved with: both those listed on the official touring programme and those that are organised member-to-member. Articles on other aspects of ski mountaineering which would be of general interest to members, such as on the history, literature and science of the sport, are also welcome. Articles should be original and not previously published.

Guidelines for Tour Reports

Please look at the following checklist before submitting your articles:

  • Include the dates of the tour at the beginning and the names of people involved at the end; please carefully check the names of those in the party and indicate any that are non-Eagles.
  • Include any notes where your experience differs from advice given in guidebooks.
  • Please check the names of peaks, huts and towns and include any accents. Heights should be given in metres and distances in kilometres.
  • Limit reports on familiar areas to 500 words and weekend meets to 200 words. Reports on more unusual destinations should be no longer than 1,200 words. All submissions are subject to revision at the Editors’ discretion.

Guidelines for Photos

  • Photos are an important part of the Yearbook. We need a variety – portrait and landscape format, close-ups which provide interesting detail as well as more conventional panoramas.
  • Digital photos must at high resolution (minimum 1704 x 2272 pixels) so that they print well.  Please supply a caption and the photographer’s name for each photo.
  • Please co-ordinate amongst the group, and do not submit more than eight photos for any tour. And please do not refer us to a website where all your photos are displayed!
  • Photos submitted may also be shown at ESC slide evenings.

How to submit

  • Reports and photos can be sent by e-mail as attachments (reports preferably in Word format) – do not put the text as part of the email itself. Alternatively, they can be sent on CD.
  • All contributions should be received within one month of the completion of the tour, or by the end of May at the very latest.
  • Send contributions to: jenny@theoldredhouse.net or Mike and Jenny Spencer, The Old Red House, 6 Phoebe Lane, Wavendon, Milton Keynes, MK17 8LP; tel: 01908 582295.
