Kinda sucks. I know they are just getting off the ground and it's probably expensive to ship internationally but it didnt break them the first year. Harvey is even from here, youd think hed continue to show us the love.
 
I got mine. im pretty sure there was a point at which they stopped letting canadians sign up for subscriptions but honored the ones already sent in.
 
sure its not as good as freeskier or waht freeze was, but its still out there. ID throw a few bucks down for a sub script, im disapointed tho.
 
when you made that joke, (assuming the first time) and i read it in another thread it was funny. but reading it again today, kinda stupid. By making the joke more then once it kinda takes away the greatness of hte joke first time it was made. However, the first one wasnt just "i hate how they typed it liek this", it was somehting like "i l o v e skitimeand t h e i r magazineis s i c k." i dunno.. ahaha anyways
 
Join the fucking party. I was extremly dissapointed. A friend of mine that lives in the same damn town got both copies...
 
those who say that ski time sucks need to get a clue. how is the ski industry suposed to get anywhere if you just shut down new magazines that are trying? I mean sure there might not be much in terms of content but the content they do have is actually interesting to read (which is more then freeze could say at times).

are you satisfied with the skiing world being represented by magazines like "ski", "skiing", "ski canada" and such? Freeze is dead, there's not taking that back - but are you really happy living in a world where there are only two (three in canada) ligit ski magazines?

the bottom line is support skiing, don't hate on it!
 
It's only two in Canada still... we can't get ski time!

Dammit... I'm sad there's no more ski time coming. :(

Maybe we can score a copy stil.... Harv?
 
Too many threads on this. Yeah, yeah. Harvey's a big traitor to his homeland. We know. The funny thing is that mags like freeskier have, I am told, the ability to discriminate between Canadian and US email addresses... so they didn't HAVE to annoy everyone up here with US-only renewals. Not that it's a big loss anyway. It's free because no one in their right mind would pay money for it.

As for Hunt's comments, new magazines that are "trying" aren't the problem. But you actually consider ski time a little fledgling, growth mag? Bullshit. It is, as someone said, bad freeskier leftovers. You don't support a magazine just because it's "new" and it "might get better" if they have little to no creative direction. The problem with ski time is, it's trite, it's uninspired, it's mass-produced garbage intent on capturing the short attention spans of kids who see an oakley one-piece on the cover and an urban down rail, and think "I IDENTIFY WITH THIS IMAGE". That's not the skiing I want to support... there's nothing there but flashy colours, lackluster no-effort editing (which manifests itself in the terrible product you're defending with the "give it time to develop" argument), and bandwagon mentality.

Bottom line, I'd rather read Powder, and that's saying something. Something really disappointing, because the resources were there.

Right, that's my piece, last post in this thread or any related.
 
hmm, everyone's entitled to their opinion i guess. but personally I don't see Ski Time as Freeskier leftovers. I actually don't like Freeskier. It's a very American magazine, very image oriented. I see Ski Time comming more from the skiers point of view, not so much the industry's. and i'm sorry, but I don't judge books by their cover. it's what they have to say inside that matters to me, i could care less about the fashion world in the ski industry.
 
ill agree with some of that, but you can still take it for what it's worth and enjoy the magazine. there were some great shots, and a few interesting articles with a lot of athlete perspectives.
 
yah i got them last year and was pissed when i saw US only i liked the pics in them and for a free mag it was so cool, funney seeing that harvy is canadaian.
