I have about 25 or so of their issues and have read them all soo many times. To be fair I have about as many freeskier. I had to make the switch when there was no other choice.
freeskier is dumb because it's the same year after year theres a gear guide---resort/park--guide---photo annual(which is all shots from the previous year) -----and all mags are like 70% advertisements it's so lame
Freeze was amazing. I think that its articles and sections always carried a positive commentary of the time, and were never too serious. They put into perspective why it was awesome to ski, and not about the "importance" of wearing the latest trend. Holmes' section dominated.
that magazine forever changed my life. i just got home from school one day when I was around 15 and turned on the tv and an ad was on for freeze magazine i knew from that moment on what i wanted to do for the rest of my life. I had already been skiing a few times a year with my family but this was my first exposure to freeskiing. once i started to receive them it was all i would do at school reading it front to back everyday. kids would make fun of me for skiing then i would show them some pictures inside and it would blow their minds. I still rep a banner in my room and harbor an extreme hatred towards transworld
i deffinately do miss freeze.. i subsribed to freeze a couple years ago and the first issue i got was the final issue.. i was like uhh shit.. then they sent like skiing magazine or something nowhere near as cool to make up for it. i hated it
Fuck I miss FREEZE so much! I still have a few issues that I've kept, I would kill to have that magazine back in business. Nothing against Freeskier, but I definitely miss Freeze.
strange you brought this up, at borders today i picked up a freeskier and saw a nike ad for shoes..... to me anymore and i may get a lot of hate but i do not care considering all you people on this site could be figments of my imagination but freeskiing might have sold out, particularly freeskier. I mean i can remember freezes just being about skiing. Argh i wish i was not so hung over and i could actually have a good argument. ...hate away people.
Actually cheesedick, as one of the only people posting on this thread who actually supported freeze by having a subscription, and having on to freeskier, I can say whatever the fuck I want.
i remember being real young and seeing one of the first issues of freeze at my local shop the next day i had a subscription. it was an amazing mag that really made me turn away from racing and into 'freeskiing'. all that knew it, really do miss it.
