I dont know if any of you guys still have this but in last years issue of Freeskier with Philou on the cover i had a letter in complaining that they should put a picture of actual skiing on the cover not just some person sitting there. Do you guys agree with me????

I think the picture of a person on the cover is demonstrating their goal to be a magazine aobut the peopel behind the skiing, not just the skiing. My interpretation of them is that they're aiming to be a a life-style magazine.

I'm going with harvey on this one..its nice to see pro's off the snow too! I like how freeskier always focuses on a different pro each issue. Its a nice change of pace from the same cliff drop or dspin on the cover

I think they should have pictures of people on the cover.

Because when I get there I want to be on the cover. :)


I once was blind...

I think they should let it be, it's differnt then other skiing mag., and I think it's better and we can actually see what the skiier look like behind their google unlike most mag.

I like how its set up, it shows they are individual. And ...basically what harvey said about them being about the ppl not just skiing

i agree with all the people up there. it's cool as it is. but that's cool you're voicing your oppinion. and it's wicked cool that you got your letter printed! i know i have that issue, i think it's the only one i have. i'll have to dig it out. SKI SKI SKI!
