I stick with Powder for the big mountain, and Axis for the newschool. If i'm desperate, Freeze is alright, but it probably has the lowest intelligence quota of any ski porn available.

Freeze is soooooo pathetic. Spelling errors and it's pathetically written. SBC SKier is good, but it's mostly big-mountain orientated.

Axis magazine has serious potential, but it's real short. But everyone should support it. It has the best photographs and the best writing.

Freeze is goofy but very chill....
Freeskier is geting worst and worst.. last issue being the worst..(photoissue) and the article about 'dumb skiers' getting killed was totally disrespectful. Skier is deecent but boring. ANd powder always delivers but never surprises me with free things :):):)

Freeskier just sucks. Don't get me started on Axis.

Skier, Freeze, and the occasional Powder issue are all that I read, unless I can afford to spend $10 on 2(Europe's freeskiing mag). Best magazine you can buy.

For those of you who don't already know, Powder is going through a complete overhaul for next year. Think Surfer's Journal, but for skiing. DOPE!

You can add your own style to any aspect of it, and you can ski things how you want... You can move at your own pace... And, you just, you have a lot of time sort of to yourself to be skiin', and that's... That's a lot of fun.''

newschool_huck69 - If you couldn't laugh at the idiocy of those people, then you are far too concerned about letting really really stupid people populate this earth.

And as for Freeze... They try to hard to be funny, and they come off as 14 year old kids.

Freeskier isn't that bad, I mean it's better than nothing. We need to support ALL the mags that contibute to giving us newschool action, even if it is minimal. Do what you can to progress the sport my nuccas. Besides, who can resist the dreamy article on DC? Liam, when is your profile hittin the racks.... Liam is so hot these days.......

Freeze is fucking retarded, and the people at freeze are cheap bastards. They ship the magazine as a catalog so they save on postage. A savings that is not passed down to the consumer. Freeskier is way more profeshional, bigger better pictures, articles that make sense. Not just inane ramblings. And about them doing the piece on those fucking idiots who died on the slopes, fuck em'! they were stupid enough to do what they did and now that their dead it frees up a spot in the parking lot for me. Powder is for free heelin' trustafarians. Axis, is basicly little Matt Leventhals attempt to live up to his brother. Freeskier is a damn good magazine. And they have never had a lot of 'newschool' shots on the cover, hell just untill last season or so they didn't even have action shots on the cover. Also freeskier supports more photographers than freeze, which is a very cool thing. And about the ad's, ever look into a snowboard magazine? You'll find mostly ads. If you want a magazine without ad's start one yourself. Untill then just shut the fuck up, and get over it.

freeskier is the shit! freeze and axis are just retarded unintelligent magazines and their editors should be shot for producing such a shitty magazine!

freeskier, as many of you probably don't know, is a completely independent magazine with no ties to a large corporation. freeze is connected to transworld media meaning it's owned by snowboarders. The same goes with SBC Skier, the SBC stands for Snowboard Canada. Axis is Powder's bitch and Powder is published by the same company that publishes useless shit like Country Living.

you're all huge fans of rider owned ski companies but why not rider owned magazines? everyone want's to support the core companies out there but all i hear is hate for freeskier and support for the corporations.

jibtech...

If you are refering to the powder shot from the photo annual, just so you know - he really was skiing powder, the shot was taken from a chair above his head.. and it was so sick out that day they were choking on powder. He wasn't 'dropping his ass and checking' ... oh forget it .. you'd understand if you skied it.

transworld is owned by aol-time warner. so what?
sbc stand for skateboard canada, not snowboard. who cares?
freeze and sbc skier are both much better magazines than freeskier. freeskiers a fucking fashion magazine with a few skiing pictures and articles to bulk it up a little.

SBC Skier is one of the best magazine, if there are any ads they are always skiing pictures, adding that it is also Canadian, I have no problem with Freeskier, their last issue was one of the best ive seen for a while.

Freeskier is rad. They have a quality mag with great print quality in comparison to others. Freeze is cool except for Brad's section. It's not even funny. When McConkey was guest editor and pretty much told that religious Dad to fuck off... that was their shining moment. Anyone remember that letter?

Whoever said freeskier was a cheap magasine and doesnt give back to the consumer in its savings.... Free DVD, posters, stickers... 5 bucks. DOnt even try to hate on freeze. ITs funny and is fun to flip threw and not sit and read for 3 hours straight on boring articles about things too seriouse for something as fun as skiing.
