Which means one thing.

Well, If I recall, September is the first issue, and they usually get them out a full month prior to the actually month of the magazine.

Generally, yes.

But it all depends on what they mean about dropping though.

If they mean hitting stores, then yes.

If they mean printing, then no.

does freeskier send you guys free subscription things whenever your run out? they do that to me, but i never got the last on in feb. they said i would get it, but i never did. hopefully they don't screw it up for my buyer's guide.

drop them an email and they'll be able to tell you how much is on your subscription. they kinda ignore us guys with free subscriptions though

that's what it says on the site, so that's probably right. you might not get it, and might need to get it in a store if you really want it.

Yeah, thats me...it sucks now.  I will end up paying for all 6 issues, get 5 and have to pay news stand price for the buyers guide.  I should have payed attention.

With how fast this summer has whipped by, I'm pretty sure that winter will be here before I even know it.

from the looks of it, freeskier beefed up the stuff they reviewed quite a bit except for outfits. last year they had 325 new products, 130 skis, and 56 outfits. this year they have 353 new products, 168 skis, but only 29 outfits. i'd take ski reviews over outfit reviews any day

Good deal.

Outfit reviews get boring quickly anyways. There's not much you can say about clothing.4
