so i was doing Christmas shopping for my sister. and for the sake of the holiday, i bravely ventured into unbareable land known as hollister. as i waited in line, i noticed they have their own little magazine rack. as well as CDs featuring emo artists that they blast at levels that should never be reached with emo.
i looked down the rows and saw magazines such as vibe, vogue, transworld snowboarding, Surf, and skate mags. then i saw POWDER and i was like "wtf?" thinking in my head (please dont let me see a freeskier, PLEASE!)
unfortunately, to my horror, i stumbled upon a freeskier, the anniversay edition. i was bummed.
its a sad day in the world of skiing

I've been to Hollister once when I was in the States a few years back. All the kids from my soccer team walked in so I followed and I instantly went into ''WTF mode'', soooooo gay. Just the store layout in itself was retarded; sooo dark, palm trees everywhere you try to walk, shitty music and stank.

Hollister may have some dumb ass shit but dumb ass parents that take their dumb ass kids to shop there and spend a butt load of dumb ass money. If while those dumb ass kids pick up a sweet ass magazine called Freeskier and think freeskiing is the shit, those dumb ass dollars become sweet money they invest when they buy their kids the latest Simon Dumont clothes/skis/gloves/hats/etc. While it may not be the coolest to be in a shop like Hollister, it's good to get the exposure. I've always hated huge shops that claim to be core (Hot Topic, Hollister, and fucking Abercrombie a few years ago when they were making Taos, Mammoth, and Whistler t shirts for $50 bucks). BUT!
Those shops have a shitload of traffic and for every 100,000 kids that walk into their obnoxious My Chemical Romance blaring store doors, one kid decides he wants to be a "sick ass gnarly skier dude, bra!" then I'm all for it because those bucks are going to our friends in the community. Take a look around kids, it might suck but its only helping the cause in the long run. If you really think this is bad, wait till halfpipe is in the Olympics... Then, as my good friend once said, you'll see guys eating fried chicken out of a bucket on the podium because they're sponsored by KFC. I'll start bitching then but until then, let Hollister and Freeskier be. Go skiing.

dude is hollister really THAT bad? i mean i don't buy shit from there, but you make it like it is some insane emo store...i actually like the store, the people in it are chill, it smells good plus it is dark which is kinda cool. i pretty much strictly shop at pac sun and internet sites for ski wear but i mean you make it like the store is the devil...

you tool. Hollister is probably the gayest shit you could fucking buy and way over priced for a pair of ripped ass jeans. instead of takin your rich ass to spend $100 on ripped jeans or whatever the fuck you buy there go to gap or sum shit get a pair for like $20 and rip them yourself fag. Plus have you ever been to the town of hollister it is the deffinition of scum of the earth.

Seriously I hate hollister for some reasons...
1. The girl's clothes are made for very small people
2. Every clothing item they produce has "Hollister" or "HCO" on it somewhere.
And Hollister and Freeskier Magazine don't go together at all

1. lose some weight
2. who gives a shit, your paying for a name brand, it's gunna say it's name brand on it, just like any other brand, Line doesn't make t-shirts that don't say Line on it now do they?
honestly it's free publicity for Freeskier and Powder, which helps money go into OUR sport, which means better made gear and better terrain parks.
so in all reality i fail to see any meanwhile complaint in your post. now if you had come across and said they demoralize women and take advantage of people i would have agreed with you, but since your post along with 90% of the posts in this thread is moronic and has no backup or depth to the statements, they can be taken with a grain of salt. that company in particular is on top of it's game and freeskier understands the potential amount of marketing that hollister will provide their magazine. and just so you all know very few of those magazines hollister carries actually sell, most of them get thrown away at the end of the month, so don't fret no one's taking that much interest in freeskier at hollister, although i wouldn't mind some of those slammin broads to pick up skiing

alot of people complain how hollister and ae are so expensive but a hollister shirt is cheaper than a volcom, billabong, element, quicksilver, whatever else these rad kids wear shirt?
who gives a shit if hollister has freeskier. i know a lot of cool people who are down to earth, sick at skiing/boarding who wear hollister. its when it becomes your life like some of these kids that it gets scary.
