always funny what comes up when you hit the end of the internet...

can anyone actually clarify this situation and how it went down? did freeskier claim to be coming out with a new mag but just keep their name and ditch the old format?

I love the headline haah

New teen ski magazine to launch
Denver Business Journal

Storm Mountain Publishing Company, parent of Freeskier Magazine, Freeskier.com and Fantasy Freeride League, is launching a national ski title exclusively for the teen market.

Storm Mountain, based in Boulder, said the new magazine will target skiers ages 12-18 and focus on editorial relevant to the youth market. The magazine said its production will "thrive on a raw, edgy look and feel, breaking traditional publishing standards with each issue."

Freeskier's Matt Harvey will serve as the editor of the new magazine and Web site. Harvey is best known for founding the popular Web site Newschoolers.com and for re-launching Freeskier.com.

The new magazine will compliment Freeskier, which targets skiers ages 18-30 and employs more diverse editorial. Freeskier describes its editorial content ranging from the terrain park to the big-mountain scene to the bar.

Ridiculous

yeah its the same name, but bringing in Harvey as editor definitely changed the face, and ultimately the magazine as a whole, which is what this article is referring to

^No, it was a side magazine that flopped and I don't even think I realized they stopped making it until you reminded me of it just now. Can't remember what it was called though. Jib something?

Damn it, that's the name. All I remember was something about Peter Olenick and money, I think they must have been going for irony.

yes it was Ski Time

I had botht eh first issues for quite a while. There was a sick ass interview with Chris O'Connel i believe it was? All about filming and photogging skiing. Def one of the first things that got me REALLY stoked on shooting. It's a shame it didn't flourish into a bigger magazine

Ski Time was so good. I remember Eric Iberg wrote the intro and there was a rainbow and unicorn in there I think. Also, Harvey has a "Ski Time" tattoo!
