Think frequency...on ski.
Go buy a frequency, fork over the money, it's really not that much....see how fucking GREAT it is, and then rethink your stance on the journal.
I'm pumped, and I'm subscribing. It's what ski-lit should be, or at leat right now in in theory....but then looking at the list of contributors and editors, i'm pretty confident it will be.
Stick with freeskier if you want/like it. Go for it.
