“sex sells, but dose sex sell out?�
By Stuart Epps, MM Park Manager
More then “much love� for the mag and its efforts! Freeskier Staff and Pete Shoemaker have done a great job tossing in some Midwest love. All things grand I was a little caught off guard by Freeskiers first issue this season. I wasn’t sure if I had grabbed Maxxum or Freeze! I dig the hotties in lifestyle shots and a little skin, but who are these girls?
Then it hit me, my little sister could have been in those shots. Good thing she wasn’t, I would likely be pissed from a Big Bro standpoint.

Is Freeskier Politically Correct by ski bum standards? I think not, Powder has been and will always be the ski bum standard for ski publications. I don’t see them selling skin in the name of the sport.
As our constitution states we are free to express our self. Freeskier is Skiing’s Independent Magazine expressing it’s self, I hope they are aware of “it’s a small world out there and it is whole lot smaller within our industry�. I hope these girls gained professionally from the shoot and didn’t lose face or creditability. I hope they break into the industry with a cute face and a name, just as Sarah, Kristy and Suzie Chapstick did.
Girls watch your ass, cause I am sure allot of guys will be!
Way to set the precedent Lange Girls, I have always loved the hotty in ski boots posters! “Keep Your Ski Tips UP�
Sex appeal and our sport is the life of a ski bum.
