so i went on magazines.com and payed like $28 for subscriptions to Freeskier and Powder.  This was about 2 months ago and i still havent recieved any magazines.  Has anybody else experienced problems with magazines.com?  Im gonna email like crazy because i want my fuckin magazines.  I figure in the future i will order right from Freeskier or whatever company.

Please change your icon. It confuses me with Line_Snowman. And he had it first. :)

Thank you!

I couldn't believe it took 5 posts for someone to finally say "IT"S MAY!" There's no (well not a lot) of snow in the northern hemisphere this time of the year so why would they have a ski magazine out? Both of those magazines only put out 6 issues a year, running from sept. to february usually.

one of the magazines (i think its freeskier) has 12 issues a year.  I dont think it matters if its summer because a new one is still supposed to come every month.

Well I've had subscriptions to Powder and Freeskier for the past 4 years and I've yet to see an issue after February and before September. But maybe I'm wrong and they've been screwing me out of magazines all this time....

Freeskier only releases like 6 issues a year. And at least one of them isn't really an issue

And I'm sure a good 5-10% of their subscription holders didn't pay a dime because they hand out free subscriptions to shops like candy
