Skilifts.org / SORT Forum

Hi,

I study at the Plantijnhogeschool in Antwerp, Belgium. I am currently doing a research project on the media which have ski resort owners or ski slope managers as a target group. So basically I am asking if you know of any magazines that are not meant for tourists, but for the owners/managers of the resorts or slopes. It would be a great help. I have looked on Google for several days and only came up with SAM Magazine.

Thanks in advance,

He are some web links either to magazines and or web sites.
The current trend is to focus towards either marketing/self promotion or outdoor operation aspects.
