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.


You forget to add "thus far" to the end of that post, Ise 8)

no I didn't, have is the past tense so that would be redundant which means unnecessary like your hostile comments.

There was nothing hostile at all in my comments, Ise. How on earth did you manage to read something between the lines that doesn't exist?

At the risk of reading like a pedant...."have" is current tense and "had" is past tense.

As in I have a cold right now, damn and blast it :x

Anyway, ski magazines :D

Powder Mag has a great buyers guide too with all your fat ski needs (amongst other things).

it's actually present perfect which I followed by a past participle :lol: used to express indefinite time which is supposed to be particularly hard to understand in English although it seems no simpler in French or German to me.

ise I do vaguely remember all that from school, though I don't recall ever thinking I'd actually need it once I'd left :D

I didn't think I needed at the time so I didn't pay any attention, trying to learn other languages without knowing it is nearly impossible though.
