I will say it once again. Every magazine has a formula that decides how many pages of editorial can go with each dollar paid for advertising. FREEZE intentionally puts the advertisments up front so that the features are not disrupted by ads.
Also appreciate that snowboarding is legitimately selling 10 times (if not more) the product that is sold based on freeskiing. When Rossi is selling less than 3000 pairs of twin-tips, how are they going to advertise a full schedule in FREEZE. But, the flipside is that the snowboard industry supports the magazines and knows that Terje and Jussi sell more than just their boards, and that Transworld sells the lifestyle as much as the product.
With more industry support, FREEZE or SBCS could be 200 plus pages. Up till then, people need to support those who support us (and just so you know, that first issue of Powder was weak. THere is ONE grabbed trick in the magazine and how many times do I have to see the same shot of Nobis going 60 in Alaska? Do something new already.) It bothers me me to see all the Jon ads (Oakley, Head, and Gordini) looking so dope. The ads are the only interesting pages in the whole magazine, yet they feature twin-tips in the buyer's guide.
Whatever, I just want it to freaking snow.
PS. I gotta give hella shouts to Detective and Anthony B. for the shots.
