Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

No, they firmly believe in converting what we do into ink and paper and sending lorryloads of it around the country to people who put it on to racks for other people to browse and probably not buy.

But I bought a copy last winter and thought it had improved quite a bit. Pity about the 'Free Ski Show Tickets' which didn't exist.

The Daily Mail has an interesting attitude to the internet. The newspaper only recently went on line.

They can't be considering the internet a threat, can they?

David Goldsmith, I lived in Northern Ireland, which uses GBP...

DG, I sent in two articles, and within a couple of months their editor-in-chief wrote in the magazine about the same two topics, and his comments were VERY SIMILAR to mine. I actually raised this with their editor, who told me that their EIC had written them about 6 months previous, but it was a coincidence.
One was about the "single supplement", which, I believe is a money-making form of discrimination, and the other was about skier responsibility.

Wear The Fox Hat, sorry about that. I actually knew that and was being irresponsible.

If you were plagiarised, it's regrettable. In a sport with a million dimensions, editors shouldn't be short of ideas.

Vulgar . . . moi?

David, you know as well as I do that there are editors and there are bean counters and these days the beanies are in charge. I had an acquaintance who worked for the DMS&SMag and he/she/it wasn't all that complementary about the senior staff. OK it was hearsay, but it did echo Fox's thoughts. The mag itself has improved greatly over the last few years, but what it really needs is an online PDF archive of its articles and tests. Cheap and easy to do and I’m sure advertisers like Slush & Rubble could make it economically viable.

What it needs is less cowdoo (and repetitive advertising) about their shite ski show and some real skiing journalism, a la Ski Survey and Skiing UK (RIP) magazine.

What's the betting they'll have another 'feature' on thirty things you must do on the slopes?

Yes, I expect you're right WTFH but it's a shame their readership isn't interested in more invigorating articles that inspires one to go further in the sport. It really deals with the sport as a form of consumption which is so unambitious!

My favorite DMSS error was their repeated printing of the picture of the North Face of the Eiger back to front making it the South Face ? Laughing This occured over several years and I always laughed when I saw it, last yearI do believethey actually got it the correct way round rolling eyes

EVERY season they have the same formats - All they do is alter content so it does not look to similiar. I got it last season as it gets me in the mood for the season, but not this time. Boring!

It occurs to me that they must be doing something right as they have withstood the test of time and the mags you mentioned have not.

davidof, what they have done is provided a magazine which fits. It doesn't do anything too startling, and it has good spin-offs. (the shows, and the readers holidays)
It feels "safe" and "comfortable" for skiers - I guess it's the SCGB of Brit ski mags.
Also, I believe its profitability comes, not from magazine sales, but from the advertising & spin-offs.

Wear The Fox Hat, do you have an editorial contact?

I'm writing an article about how the Vanoise Express etc is changing "sleepy little Plan Peisey", and would be keen to send it to them as well. Not bothered if they steal my work and publish it, as its all good publicity for Peisey-Vallandry!!
Thanks.

Ski Independence are the tour op, and do a great job. The magazine staff lead groups if you want to ski with them, and there are evening events organised too.
