Next week

It's the start of a new season, and SPORTS ILLUSTRATED presents the very best in ski life and ski living: first, the fanciful new snow fashions, pictured in color at Portillo, Chile; next, the new story of Toni Sailer, once an Olympic idol, now a matinee idol; and the story of that growing phenomenon, the low-cost ski chalet, along with an original design showing a compact, comfortable mountain house for the skiing family.
