Hey guys, what are your favorite ski magazines that are from outside the USA?

I'd love to hear about ones you like from all over EU, Australia, NZ, and Asia. Let me know what you're reading in other parts of the world to keep the stoke alive!

New Zealand Skier would be my most read magazine. It's got good event coverage, articles and interviews. Just an all round solid magazine.

SBC Skier is one of the best in my opinion, always awesome editorial content.

Downdays in Europe isn't too shabby either.

Only ever read 'The fall-line' in the UK, seemed pretty decent, was aimed more at backcountry skiers

This. I can't read Japanese and it is still better than Freeskier.

lots of bias in this one but:

Europe: downdays, easily the best quality magazine I have held in my hands, awesome photos and interesting articles

Australasia: NZ Skier magazine, great and funny articles, good photos

SBC is the best ski mag I have read since FREEZE. Every article is fucking awesome, there is very little bullshit writing and clearly biased advertising like in Freeskier and the 24 is the best magazine section in existence.

FriFlyt is awesome! Although it's not just a skiing magazine, in the summer it covers DH biking and stuff. But who doesn't like a little variety? Plus they cover lots of local stuff in addition to bigger events, awesome interviews etc.

If you speak french, Skieur Magazine is pretty good for content/gear reviews

plus they give some good euro movies away with it sometimes... (althought best to date was Candides pull up from like '07)

A few years ago it used to be ok but now it just consists of articles full of hype talk along with +50% of commercial adds. No thanks.

Dark Summer used to be a hell of a magazine. Don't think it's still going. It used to be free and stocked in Ellis Brigham shops here in the UK http://www.darksummer.co.uk/

In Sweden, the online magazine Alpinkultur
is probably the realest of them all.


In their latest issue there's a long interview with E'Dollo.
(starts on page #40 if you're in a hurry).

In previous issues: Interviews with Jacob Wester and
Henrik Windstedt.

SBC Skier. It's been the best ski magazine since the death of Freeze. Freeskier can't even touch SBC's steeze.
