I really appreciate whistler ads that are about half the magazine. So refreshing after seeing all kinds of tall tees and bandanas.

I agree, because I am 55 years old, and make $250,000 a year. I'm trying to decided whether to buy a second home in vail or whistler

I'd rather read a 40 page whistler add then a copy of freeskier. Generally the writing will be much more coherent, and the photos will be much better in the Whistler add. That said, I think I might get a new subscription to freeskier, since they are usually free, and I don't like buying toilet paper.

The answer to this argument is that Powder gets you a way better magazine! :) Great photographs and article that actually are about current freeskiers and freeskiers from the past. I love the magazine! First time through you take in the amazing photography. Second time you read the articles and.... take in the photography again. /thread

I personally think that the adds aren't too bad. It shows some cool gear which is a big part of a magazine in a cool picture.

boom roasted

but seriously sbc skier, backcountry, and powder are the only few worth paying for

I love Powder- so much so that between different deals I am subscribed for another 6 years- actual writing with stories I want to read combined with a great mix of everything photography wise- id pay a shitload more for powder and not complain

Completely agree, they talk more about hotels in Whistler than the ski slopes.

this. skiing will endorse any resort or company given the money. SKI and SKIIN are for the people who commute from the city to ski 4 times a year. Powder and Freeskier are for people who actually care.

Freeskier is not a magazine, it is a collection of ads with no content. "Ski review: Every ski is the best ski ever made!". Not bad if you are just there for the art of photography. That's why it is basically free. I think I paid 5 bucks once and it keeps coming every year, going on at least 5 years.

Powder is much better for content.

I didn't read the thread, but I do want to contribute -- Freeskier sucks. I was lucky enough to be around for Freeze & get more meaning out of those old issues than anything I've ever read in FS.....
