i've only read freeskier, skiing, ski, and sbc skier. i really like all four of them, considering they all have different focuses. skiing used to have sick trick tips, like i ripped them out and carried them in my pocket while skiing.

When did this happen? I've really been out of the loop as far as ski magazines go, I need to get some subscriptions.

Heres an idea...How about we stop judging and criticizing everything and everyone in skiing....Just a thought...I know that this concept will be over most of your heads, but just try to think about it. Consider me the Newschoolers Messiah.

i don't see it so much as gaper-esque, just more geared towards the general, recreational skiing population. it contained tons of useful information, it just sought to cater to a different demographic than most magazines or magazines that would suit our tastes.

Powders obviously the best.

Freeskier is sick too but just not as good as powder

this is correct.  If you say other magazines are the best, you have not read The Ski Journal.

Freeskier is great if you enjoy living in a pictured magazine but for quality articles not so much.

add powder to the best list for me.

Ski canada is sponsored by sport check, that should be enough for you to know it sucks.

Psssshhh SBC Skier SUCKS! http://www.sbcskier.com/features_article?news_id=742

Ski Journal's last issue is the tits. That retro cover is sitting on my desk right now. KMC mag with Mitch Scott is another good one (and Mike Berard is heading up their new title). Out of all the mags though, my heart remains with the now defunct N'East. Austin Holt and crew held it down.

Oh, and that old man's magazine based in Southern California is pretty cool if you're a beater. I think it's called Groomer or something.

Powder is pretty good, actually has a decent amount of content.
Freeskier is polluted with advertising.
Ski Journal is fucking awesome.
