If you make this magazine. Take a look at Snowboard Canada, or pretty much any other snowboard magazine and make the mag more like that than anything else. I don't care about alot of stuff that is shown in ski magazines. And I think most 'soul' articles should be left to Powder and SBC Skier. Freeze was succesful because it was the only magazine to cover newschool only. Thats what we care about more than anything else, and those who don't buy Powder or SBC Skier.

Ok.

Time for an update. I guess I've been leaving you in the dark so here you are.

The idea has been pitched and after two long months of trying to sell the idea, I am happy to say that interest is being expressed, and the idea looks like it has legs to stand on. I have shown this thread (along with a much larger proposal), numerous times to the publishing guru's that have yet to slam the door in my face. In fact, it seems there may be some actual expressed interest in re-creating this 'core' magazine. We are now putting together a draft copy of an initial issue, so I am asking for some help here. I have an already large database of pictures but if anybody has any QUALITY images they could lend to an initial draft copy, somewhat recent, of events, parks, whatever, it would be greatly appreciated. I'll go and set up a big email for that tonight. If people have small stories they would like to donate as well for this initial draft, that be great. Just think about what a magazine profesional would want to read, as well as what you would want to read. Think about articles you always wanted to read about, or use Skier, Powder, old Freeze issues etc. as ideas and inspiration for your writing. If this comes together, I will publish each and every name of those who donated material for the draft copy. Alright, I'll answer any questions about the process as they come. You can IM me. Peace and we're still rollin.

 
Oh. And a photographer friend took the cover shot already. Just wanted to say that it's pretty much the best cover shot in the history of skiing. Funniest picture ever, you'll all be proud and I cant wait to show it off.

 
any idea on a time line?

stickers and poster r always sick.. skiing stickers are pretty hard to get the was this freeze mag last year with plenty n that was pretty sick

Rip more talk less
 
i love you!! sign me up. and definitely stickers and posters are one of my faves. and interviews are awesome too. some name ideas i thought of out the top of my head:

Froze

Frozen

Jib

*Jibber* I like this one!

also get newschooelrs involved. i saw some of it in freeze but it would be great publicity for ns if you took polls or comments or had articles from ns.

good luck with this! it would be so awesome and i would support it all the way!

ba-dum-ching!
 
inside articles are great, stuff about all the comps going on, I always read up on it on the net, but if I miss something Id like to know it'll be in your mag. Like all of the major and some hyped up regular comps. Stickers and posters are prime, a poster in every issue would be killer and that much more reason for non-subscribers to pick up random issues. Good product reviews, those are killer for learning about new stuff, you cant trust reps or sites entirely. Stuff on up and comers, maybe a monthly contest of a video to get a part page write up with some stats and a pic. Or maybe monthly photo contests, the best am pictures get published in a 'monthly photo contest' section. And try something new with the adds. I know I like putting awesome ones on my wall, but I dont like ripping out a key part of another article... so maybe have all the ads right aftre the TOC or at the end. Stuff like that would set it apart. You could start and end the ads with a poster or sticker page I dunno.

I'll post more ideas if I think of 'em.

By the way, where might the headquarters for this mag end up being?

There a website in production?

I'd like to see it pretty much as Freeze was, but with more reviews on products, and less about fashion iteams and non ski asseccories. I would subsribe.

HELLSKI.COM
 
don't make a page dedicated to pranking snowboarders. that is lame as hell. Something that closed minded would make me not want to subscribe to the magazine at all.

Count me in. Also try to get more articles related to skiing. sponsor events. HAVE A FUCKING HUGE TRICK TIP SECTION. I love those. and have like to pro sections like an 'ask Jamie Pierre' and an 'ask Dave Chrichton.' Make it bigger. Less adds. HUGE wallpaper section. If you could do this i would subscribe. And an issue every month in the winter and 2 in the summer. Maybe include a free poster in every issue. Maybe in the 'movie guide' you could enclose a DVD with teasers for each movie and a short compilation of the best highlights of all ski movies (of that year). Like those salomon andreniline hunter movies. Lots of contests and a subscriber contest so that whoever subscribed would get entered into a draw to win a pair of skis or something. CIRCULATE IN CANADA! Lots of ski related content no bullshit. I think a 'hill of the month' would be a good idea as well. And a section where aspiring skiers can send in photos and stuff to get publicity. Mass produce it so that the price comes down. Get lots of ski companies to sponsor the mag to help cut costs. Thats all i can think of right now.

COUNT ME IN

 
A great name for the mag would be 'Heaven' Everyone who is a skier loves it and is always trying to get out their.

Common quote for powder hogs.......' Its like Heaven'

Life is tough. Get over it!!!
 
I think an article in each issue about affordable ski trips across the world (focus on a diffrent resort each issue) Im sure resorts would love to have their place PR'd and prob fork over some addvertising money.

Skiing magazines are usually geared towards the advanced to expert skier. What about the newbies?

Life is tough. Get over it!!!
 
I like the two summer issues n the name heaven... but one htink u should keep from freeze is the liftie of the month!

Rip more talk less
 
when can we see this released to the public

'kevin whyed nils pull you out?' 'Cuz i was touchin bitches.' 'No seriously why did he put scott in for you.' 'Scott doesn't touch bitches.'
