I got mad at ski magazine

i wrote a letter to ski magazine showing how they werent covering the "right" type of skiing, and they published it. here it is: "the name of your magazine is SKI, but it only covers certain aspects of the sport. Freeskiing for examplehas exploded in popularity, and is a sport that will be amazing to watch in years to come. You need to cover Freeskiing. Remember the days when you went out skiing for fun, and not focus on constantly improving your skills? Why doesn't SKI ever cover the side of skiing that actually holds a future for the sport. What SKI writes about is not a sport, it's a one-man competition. They are called Freeskiers for a reason, they just want to have fun. SKI is stomping on the progression that could save the former soul of skiing"

maybe you should look at "Ski"s target market. It doesn't cater to us, not all ski magazines will, SKI magazine caters to a much larger market than the freeski market. The ski market is older and have a lot more money than we do so why should they change their market and piss off people who don't care about freeskiing and more about what condo they should buy in aspen

i like how they talk about terrain parks as if theyre novelty items put there for rich tourists to look at and say "how about a jump, sport?"

I don't really agree with most of your points. Cudo's for getting into a mag though.

ski isnt about freeskiing....its about skiing in general. since its about skiing it doesnt all have to be about freesking

and what did you expect to accomplish by writing that letter? that magazine caters to a select market, and they are not publishing it for you. don't buy it if it bothers you. ski magazine has always been about the intermediate, weekend warrior with a good amount of disposable income. that magazine is more about the lifestyle than the actual skiing itself.
I hope that some day we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people

That mag sucks unless you're trying to research a ski area you have never been to, then there profiles kind of come in handy.
