    No but Ski mag is. Excellent in-depth gear analysis, lists of the best resorts every year to help you decide where to shred, and articles about the best hot tubs in ski country. Next month I hope they do an article on who has the best fur shop, Aspen or Vail.

    Nobody is ever serious in their responses to your posts, either fuck off and/or get a clue

    The irreverent advertorial fluff with pretty pics that’s Powder’s bread and butter is done so much better, cheaper, and more timely on the internet that the answer is obviously no. I recently flipped through this years buyers guide (no I didn’t buy it) just enough to confirm that they’re riding this broken formula into the ground. The gear reviews are laughable. Even when they produce some real journalism, such as the quite readable article on the Fifty project, it’s only an introduction to the subject for a general audience rather than the new and deeper perspective that would make it worth my $. There isn’t a hope in hell they’ll still be in business in 5 years. The NYT Tunnel Creek article shows what’s possible in skiing journalism, but no one has developed a business model for producing that sort of quality on a regular basis.

    The gear reviews from customers on site like EVO are ten times mor informative than a magazine’s Best New Gear of XXXX

    I am serious. How else would I decide where to shred this season? I’m on pins and needles each year wondering will Whisler get the No 1 resort, or Deer Valley, or will someone swoop in and take the crown?

    I once played Chinese checkers with Dave MOE aka Captain Powder. He won but I think he's an expert since he carries a Chinese checker board with him when he travels

    I'm sad in the pants to know that Vail won it this year...it comes free...I'm an addict and have a problem with anything about skiing in print. I read it ironically
