I'm really confused on how Freeskier does their distribution, I know they are based out of Boulder, and I have searched high and low for a copy in Littleton, Denver, and Boulder but I still haven't gotten one.

Im dissapointed, i got mine also but it wasnt as good as last year. This year they only do descriptions on the Editors picks everything else just has a stoke rating from 1 to 10.

I got mine last tuesday... and got all excited.

Then was bummed out all weekend, the skis I bought got no stoke, except the graphics all the editors picks were the same. All the outerwear is totally drab. Saga? White? Really? $500 plus for a jacket? CMON!

No articles, Lange boot girl on a bike?

If youre going to review shit, review shit. Type it up, print it. The buyers guide should be a catalog filled with information. Not just a few numbers and a picture. 

Maybe an NS magazine isnt such a bad idea after all. No, I take that back, the reviews section is dope and the interweb beats paper everytime.

Yeah I know where the office is, have been there many times, I figured they were distributed from some where else, just wasn't certain.  I just got my copy though, pretty sweet.

It's true the Lange girl could have been wearing way less clothing.

Checked 3 stores and none of them had it. You'd think a mountain town would stock that shit.

i got mine today and was somewhat dissapointed at the reviews and how only the editors picks had a description, and also how freaking expensive the rossignol skis are. but other than that i was stoked to see all of next years stuff. i cant wait to go skiing!

2yrs ago I sent in for a paid subscription and never got anything. Then this past season I sent in two free things and never recieved anything. Weird thing is, I came home from work today and found TWO in my mailbox.. one addressed to Jen Manlew and the other to Jen Memhew. If you know me, you know that those are nooooooooot my last time. It's allllllllllright. I feel like old ones were better. Though I have no money to buy any of these things, I'm still stoked to ski.

My friend got his like 2 days ago. Yesterday and today I drooled over it and then "accidentally" took it home with me. Mostly ads. Lang girl is very nice.

Finally got mine yesterday. The buyers guide wasn't that great, only the editor's picks or whatever had descriptions. Wasn't really much help. And does anybody else realize that like 70% of the magazine is ads? Seriously, I don't think there was one article.

I haven't gotten mine yet (VT). I just moved and updated my mailing address with them about 2 weeks ago, so I hope it wasn't sent to my old address as the USPS won't forward magazines.

I'm okay with ads actually as long as they are cool ads that are visually appealing and are about skiing. So that doesn't bother me so much, and when you can subscribe as cheap as you can to Freeskier, they need to make money somehow, haha.

Haha yea, it is real cheap to subscribe. But their really wasn't one article. It's probably just because it's the buyers guide, but I enjoyed this months Powder magazine more than Freeskier (gasp!).
