There's no catch and I won't sell your address to spammers. I promise.
As for the website, I'm one person and I have a limited amount of time to do all of this. The website does need improvement, I know, but my first concern is putting together a good magazine with solid content.
I'm financing this myself. And no, it ain't cheap. I'm working on advertising for the mag but these things take time and like I said, I'm one guy. I don't have a ton of money and a full staff like Freeskier.
And hey, subscriptions are free. Can't complain about that too much. If you'd feel more comfortable paying for it, I'm cool with that too. Just send me a check. But you don't have to. I'm fine with giving it to you for free.
