sucks if true. found this posted today on the TGR message boards:


TransWorld Puts Freeze on Ice

SAM Magazine--Oceanside, Calif., Nov. 1, 2004--Freeze Magazine will cease publication with its January 2005 issue, TransWorld Media (TWM) vice president/general manager Brad McDonald told SAM.

In addition to the Freeze staff, TWM has cut loose director of marketing and business development Mike Jaquet and vice president of marketing and sales Allen Crolius.

McDonald said that Freeze was having difficulty hitting its circulation targets, in part because the magazine had a relatively narrow niche and little room to broaden its market without bumping up against larger stablemates Ski and Skiing Magazines.

Being out there skiing every day, good or bad, just playing around with friends, with no contests or filming- that is the real spirit of skiing for me. that is why i started skiing, and if i lose those moments that is what will make me stop skiing.

'I was in the waiting room of my doctor's office before a physical this morning. There's nothing wrong with me, but healthy people get physicals just-for-the-hey-of-it every couple of days. When they finally mispronounced my name, I got up and walked down a hall with a nurse. After a while, the doctor came in and inspected my holes. He said that I should lose weight and consider stop smoking. I blew smoke in his face and explained that he is a douche bag. We all had a good laugh and he agreed.' -Skydaddy

The Whis crew sends its regards. RIP Freeze. I'll still remember the day I begged dad to buy me my first issue. It had Evan Raps jumping a train on the cover. I've been hooked ever since and it never once left first place on my favourite magazine's list. Freeze, thanks for the good times.

i just dont get why freeze would be getting the kick right now. i mean it seems as if freeskiing is BIGGER than it's ever been and more and more people are being attracted to the sport. i wouldnt get why they would do somethign like this. Freeze has always been the shit and i am pissed that they are canceling it, seeing as i have 2 free subscriptions.

That's shit. freeze was the best ski mag by far. I even really liked reading axis.
Freeskier better step up a bunch or I'll be pissed.... not that I can do anything about it this point.... fuckers.

'I could be skiing right now.' Me in my friends car with some ladies at about 12 for lunch, they're singing, I'm bored, they weren't too happy, but they got the message and I went skiing sooner than I could've hoped

fuck that sucks. good magazine.
i think they should have more ads in the mags to pay the bills. like snowboard magazines. it isnt a set back for skiing because i know i will still charge the hill jstu as hard and love the sport jsut as much, but the social adn commercial aspect will eb greatly affected. im sure other sponsors will cover the usopen and that shit.

Transworld should die. I can't belive that they are going to kill off Freeze, infact I refuse to belive it until someone proves it with a press release from transworld

I'm pissed, they cant just take a magazine like that away from us, bastards... I think Transworld is having a conspiracy of killing skiing by taking over the mag and then stopping the circulation...

It was around January in 2000 when I bought my first FREEZE... I soon after quit racing, bought my first pair of twin tips, and started saving up for camp. In a lot of thanks to this magazine I found the sport that gives me a reason to get up every morning. (in the off season I go into sleep mode)

and I am just going to have to e-mail mean words to transworld and cloe my 3 other TWM subscriptions.... cocksucks.

RIP FREEZE

I was just sending in my free sub. today. Until now I have paid, this sucks Axis was the best (don't say anything) and now freeze is the best, and gone also. Freeskier is alright but fuck powder and fuck transworld. They should have cut brad holmes and other lame shit to give it a chance first. They certainly didn't have adverstising and support promblems. Corporate bullshit.

wow, this sucks. freeze was definatly what opened my eyes to newschool. i had a pair of white 720s, but i had no clue what was really going on. it was jon olsson thrownin down on a massive timberline hip, and freeze was in green. i pray to god they start something up againg, cause freeskier sucks. its not nearly as intertaing as freeze. RIP

WHAT THE FUCK.... NO

they cant do this, freeze wasnt the best in terms of literary content, but it sure was entertaining to read. transworld is a sketchball corp, they should be shot in the face

This sucks so much. Freeze was by far the best. Freeskier sucks my nuts, it has no good articles at all. I am pissed right off. SBC Skier has to step it up huge amounts.
