If I wanted to know what you thought of the quality of the journalism in the Winter Sport publication sector I would have asked for just that. Ah, the benefit of Usenet, you get answers to questions you never asked, and all the sarcasm and cynicism is thrown in for free. I wouldn;t take it personaly, and I wouldn't bank on getting a straight answer soon... It's be boring if it didn't go off at tangents wouldn't it? It's a discussion forum :-) They (UK ski mags) are all ****e though :-) Same as most UK mags, articles written by idiots who are a ski writer one week, doing Gardening Weekly the next and show up next as a technology pundit in PCW. Anyone that objects really strongly could always submit their own stuff, you'd get paid as well. Personally I like the Europeans ones, Pouderhausen in Germany is good for example and, for me, great value for money, takes me an age to read them :-) Ian |

"Neil Swingler" wrote in message ... "PG" wrote in message ... I'll try again. Does anyone know when the "Ski and Board" magazine from the Ski Club of GB is due to be published? Who cares? It's utter ****e. You're a member then? Well I'm a member and find the mag to be a reasonable read. It is a vast improvement on the glorified holiday brochures that the other mags make. I guess it will be coming out soon. The membership pack came this week. I do wish they would drop the teen snowboarder bits though. I doubt that the target audience will ever read it. Mind you English language boarding mags are even worse. Never seen it so I can't judge - I'm in France permanently so there's no point joining. Understandably (given the importance of the sport here) there are some good mags in France (and plenty of rubbish ones too)... Pete www.skisurherbe.org |

I'd just ignore TOG if I were you - he's just not had any proper death threats for a while so he starts getting all shorty. I'll try again. Does anyone know when the "Ski and Board" magazine from the Ski Club of GB is due to be published? Err, I _think_ there's normally a November edition, which would be published early October, so hopefully not too long now. -- Ace (bruce dot rogers at roche dot com) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |

... Err, I _think_ there's normally a November edition, which would be published early October, so hopefully not too long now. Got mine about a week ago; it was in the UK when I got back from NZ - has an article on Craigieburn that is not too bad if you read between the lines. Pity that I'll have to wait another 8 - 9 months before the field opens again after the best finish to the season for 10 years with up to 3.7m of snow depth - closing today (Sunday) Be nice if the same happens in European Alps this coming season.

Ski magazines are rather like the Ski Show- look good on the outside, but
expensive, tell you nothing new and full of adverts for kit and chalets - having been there or bought one you wish you hadn't bothered. I used to buy one now and again but I was in Snow and Rock earlier today, and flicked through a couple - still the usual glossy and expensive crap. Rob "prg39" wrote in message .. .
