 Poster: A snowHead
|
I started a thread about the ski mags a while back to see which ones people preferred.
Fall-line Skiing seemed to be the consensus. I've not been able to find Fall-line yet this season, even in some of London's biggest WHSmiths. Maybe they've gone subscription only?
The first issue of the Daily Mail mag got a bit of a slating but I saw a copy of the current one (or the second one at least) and was pretty impressed. A lot more substantial.
Bought Snow magazine yesterday which was a good read as always.

After a couple of seasons resisting snow mags, I walked into WHSmith and thought I'd take a look to see what was out. After picking up WhiteLines and seeing how thick it was I couldn't resist no more. Wasn't disappointed either, an article on splitboarding in Scotland is just one of many. A week later and I've still stuff to read when I've got 10mins to waste st work!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Neil Neige, I think they still are in some WHSmith's, I know you can usually "order" it from one of their stores and they'll try to get it in for you. Alternatively, if you email them I'm sure they can let you know where you can find it.

I always get Fall Line from Wh Smiths in Liverpool Street Station if you're around the City?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have to look a bit harder for Fall Line but must've checked 5 or 6 WHSmiths.
Maybe it's available in Snow and Rock.

IMHO the UK board magazines are better than the UK skiing mags overall, the latter excepting Fall Line are often little more than travel brochures with a few extra articles thrown in as a sop to those who have skied a few times and might want a little more. Overall they are firmly aimed at the casual holiday skier, in contrast the board mags often reflect more of the snowsports lifestyle and I say that as primarily a skier.
Having said that my subscription to Fall Line recently ran out and I haven't bothered to renew it because they don't offer a digital version and I'm mostly digital with my mags these days. I subscribe digitally to US magazine Powder which IMHO is heads and shoulders above any other ski magazine in English but I do miss more UK focussed content so will buy Fall Line on an occasional basis in 'analog' and would consider a subscription if they manage to enter the 21st Century sometime and start offering a digital option.
