The trouble with all of them is that they are/were filled with articles on heli trips to Greenland, Russia and Kazakstan. They are elitist, not aspirational. Most two-weeks-a-year skiers/boarders are more interested in what ski-ng in Mayrhofen, La Plagne, Cortina, Saas Fee and Whistler etc is like. The back country epics remain out of reach for an awful lot of customers. I would like to read a mag with a more recreational, down to earth content.

Well said Lota -i work in the industry and I know that they tend to write about whoever offers them a free holiday. It is a huge bug bear of mine - same as the national press ski sections are all about the companies and suppliers that wine and dine the journalists and give them free accommodation, flights, guides, etc :evil: Much of it has little relevance to us recreational skiers. There is a market for independent advice - see the maddog guides they are very impartial www.maddogski.com. for alternative views.
