Replying to Freeskier and Snowboard joining forces...

in this months issue of freeskier it says that freeskier and snowboard mag are becoming one company. at first i almost shit myself. skiing has become such a replica of snowboarding with the stlye tricks everything. boarders everywhere bash on us at times, and i didnt understand where freeskier was coming from making this decision. but it also could be a good thing for us skiers in many ways. i was wondering whether you guys on ns think joining will cause more problems between skiers and boarders, or if it would actually help us get more respect
