thank you. And I didn't read the whole thread because I was rushing to get to class, at least it wasn't out of pure laziness.

Shitty magazines will die and quality print will live... print is far from dead.
An internship at Powder is a great opportunity and should not be taken lightly. Internships are the key to getting a foot in the door. Many careers in the ski industry were started with a Powder internship, including The Ski Journal’s own photo editor, Grant Gunderson.

I don't mind at all. In my first year at the magazine I'd estimate around 80-100 applications come in. Why the large range? Some applications are simply, "Hire me or give me stickers."
We have plenty of applicants hungry for the position without offering it up on NS. However, this is where I got my start and it's a fun way to give back to the community.
Hope to see a few of you this summer, fall, next summer, next fall, and beyond! -Rogge

Welcome to the real world. When you apply for a position that is being heavily pursued by a large number of people, you may not always get a rejection notice.
If you are upset you heard nothing at all, I must assume that your application did not exceed their first expectations enough to warrant further review. Additionally, it tells me that you likely did not engage in enough followup contact. Shoot off an email first. If no response, pick up the phone.
It's your future. You need to make yourself recognized, and it seems that your application, resume and cover letter did not do that. Just remember that the line between pestering and persisting is a very fine one.

To Whom It May Concern,Thank you for applying to the editorial internship at Powder magazine. I regret to inform you that your application was not accepted as it did not fit our needs. However, we have put in on file. Now if you'll excuse me, my ears are ringing which means there's someone skiing down a staircase in Egypt.
Sincerely,Mike Rogge
P.S. Another round of interns will be hired next summer. And the summer after that one and the summer after that one and... you get the idea. I apologize for not responding in a timely manner but in my defense, if I did send a rejection letter to every application, I wouldn't have time to write about grass skiing or do anything for that matter. If it's any consolation, I was rejected from quite a few internships before landing a great one at a local newspaper. If you're interested in writing for Powder, send me something. We publish quite a few pieces from writers outside of the Powder masthead. In fact, the 'Revelations' piece in the current issue was sent to DT in an envelope.
And one more thing, see you at IF3. If I didn't send you a response back, come say hello, introduce yourself, and tell me how shitty of a person I am. It'll be funny.
Cheers.
