Powder Mag is Done

**VTskibum** · 10-03-2020, 07:11 PM

Saw this in the social's for surfer who are owned by the same corp. So looking like the rumors are true which is a bummer, although i'm part of the problem of not having been a subscriber for the past few years after 10+ years prior.

I'm not sure what the new normal will be but I gotta agree

maybe something where the advertiser will pay for exposure on a site ?

Ha ha ha. Yeah, that’s exactly what we need more of in a ski/bike magazine. More woke bs virtue signaling. We certainly don’t get enough of that in every aspect of american life these days.

Maybe thats actually why they’re done.

Kind shits on the bottom line.

Oddly, delivering issues to lapsed subscribers keeps their circulation numbers up and contributes to higher ad rates. Same deal with doctors’ offices — the doctors never pay for subscriptions.

Powder sucked before Shane died. The Shane tribute was the last issue to keep. Powder has sucked since. Powder sucks

each to their own. I guess I don't get bent over reading about facts in a magazine.

I’ve list track of the hundreds if not thousands of images I had published in the magazine over the years. As a young kid growing up obsessed with skiing Powder was the Bible. There was nothing that I wanted more in life than to become a photographer for Powder. Luck would have it I managed to score an internship there and then eventually became one of the Senior Photographers... A true life dream come true. So it’s with a heavy heart to learn the news of the demise of 3 of the most influential titles ever in the action sports genre. Powder in its hay day was truely a special entity always at the cusp of style, progression and culture. The sheer number of people that worked and interned their over the years that went on to greatness not just in the publishing world is a statement to its domination of print coverage of the ski world.

Just subbed to Mountain Gazette. Looks more interesting than a lot of stuff/fluff I have seen of late.

That first issue of Powder in the mailbox has always been the starting bell for the season.
The instigator of anticipation and stoke.

There are a few print titles that will continue, but only in niches where people are willing to pay for it. A new Porsche enthusiast magazine launched a few years ago, with articles by the best in the field and "coffee table" quality paper and printing. Limited to 300 subscriptions (if memory serves), and if a guy is inclined to ask how much it costs, he can't afford it. The subscriptions sold out immediately.

Time magazine was already political trash last time I picked one up from the newsstand 15 years ago, good riddance.
