Thank You All!

Thanks to all that responded to this poll. Since I’m not a skier your knowledge is greatly appreciated!
If the publisher does a ski magazine, I will be people like yourselves who will help produce it. Many articles in magazines we published
are written by the same people who buy them. The editorial content carriers more weight than the advertising. With that publishing model our magazines readers receive a valuable tool and outlet for their passions.

The informal poll was posted because this is only the beginning of the process. In the future a more in-depth poll one may be posted on types of articles you would like to see in a magazine. A new skiing magazine may come out of this, or skiing may be part of a broader Magazine. Whatever the outcome, thank you again for your response to this poll.
