Anyone sick of Freeskier?

I feel like everytime I flip through a Freeskier I am constantly looking at the same people. And they are all connected to Colorado. Seems like if you are friends with the Freeskier guys, you can get into the magazine...any thoughts? I'm just getting bored, and I think they focus on Colorado too much when there is a huge industry outside of CO. My thoughts anyways.

You should probably move to Colorado and get in on the action.

ya its bunk that lampert won fantasy freeride when they never ever updated it
and lets see some europe/new zeland coverage
the only good thing freeskier made was the road trip challenge and they lost the remaining footage

hell yeah

the people are good and the people who write for it are good too but there are so many ad's that it's just like reading a catalog. i mean don't get me wrong i know it pays the bills and more ads means more money for everyone but where is the line? i think they should chill a little bit... also i never really understoon the whole august/sept.-jan/feb. period, personally march and april are my favorite months to ski - pow and spring park skiing best of both worlds

Skiing is getting better. They got Jake Bogach at the helm. Jake has written/worked for Powder and came from SBC Skier.

I wonder if they are having fantasy freeride this winter considering they never send the prizes from last year out...

Im sick of people complaining about Freeskier.  Its the only thing this industry has.  Magazines are a dying industry.  There arent going to be any new ones, so savor what we have left.

Skiing magazine has definitely gotten way sicker.  It was either that or Ski had T wall in an issue and Jon was in another doing a trick tip.  They're starting to put trick tips in and write more about big mountain than carving or racing.  The only thing I hate is when they rate a resort on luxury, not the skiing.  That's more ski magazine though.  Skiing did a great job on the resort rating system this year.
