I'd also rather look at insane pics of heli-skiing in the Himalayas than a beginner on a green slope scared sh*tless! Look at Top Gear (off subject i know) 90% of the cars they feature and test are way beyond most people's budgets but the show is so popular!
A lower-end skiing magazine is definitely a big gap in the market, just not sure how many people would buy a magazine of that sort to make it worthwhile.
That's probably true, it's quite probably the dull lack of aspiration that makes ski magazine so dire and explains the near total lack of literature. There's a huge demand for help and advice on skiing but that really has moved to the internet which is better, real advice is better than a second rate journalist on a freebie, you see better stuff here on J2SKI than most magazines have ever managed.
