Replying to How much do companies pay to get featured in Freeskier?

I unsubscribed from Freeskier mag years ago, but they still send me the buyers guide every summer. I am blown away by some of the crap that they include in their top gear lists.

Does anybody know how much they get paid to include shit like Marker Griffons, or Line supernaturals? They don't give the slightest bit of credit to high quality brands like ON3P, panda poles, bloom, ect.

I'm not trying to start another holy war on Freeskier magazine, but I'm pretty curious how they actually choose the "best" gear.
