What Ski Magazines do you get? Which one do you like the best?

I get:

Ski
Skiing
Powder
SAM
MRM

I know it seems like a lot, but Ski and Skiing I get for free from Warren Miller, and a season pass deal

Powder is the best of the consumer magazines, and SAM and MRM are both good industry magazines.

I get Skiing, Freeskier, MRM and SAM. I was getting Ski until my subscription ran out.

I really dislike Skiing Magazine these days though. I know that Skiing has always been more directed towards the younger skiers, but a lot of the stuff it talks about is just plain out boring. It amazes me how different Skiing Magazine today is compared to what it was like back in the early 90s. Same thing applies to Ski, but not as bad. There was life with the old stuff that brought you right into the magazine and now with the new ones you have to find it. Same thing applies to SAM too.

I get Ski and Skiing and love them both. They are getting to be mostly lodging deals in Breckenridge, but they still have some good articles.

SAM is Ski Area Management. It is an excellent industry magazine. You can subscribe online at www.saminfo.com

MRM is currently on hold until Gard Skinner finds a way to make it financially sustainable.

I haven't subscribed to any, but I often buy SkiPress and Géo Plein Air.

I wouldn't count SAM and the late MRM as ski magazines; they're industry trade mags and as such more related to the business of skiing rather than the actual sport.
I read Powder and SkiPress from time to time. Ski is way too high-end for me- it has a section on real estate, what kind of a skiing magazine is that?
