It gives helpful reviews and comments on specific Ski, boots and resorts. It also has features on Ski fitness, Skiing instruction, travel (where to stay and where to eat) and general Ski information.
Gear Finder
Ski Magazine has a feature called Gearfinder that rates specific Ski and Ski boots. Online it asks you about your preferred type of Skiing (racing, mountain, free rider) and what you are trying to Ski (powder, short turns, moguls), then recommends a particular brand of Ski. You can also specify a particular manufacture for say powder Skiing and a Ski will be recommended. A typical kind of comment would be "Tops in Powder Performance and near the top in Crud."The Gearfinder also lists manufacturers of Ski boots that you can ask about. If you are interested in a particular brand, you can learn that its lateral quickness and steering power are "right up there with the best of the bunch". Each Ski boot is described in terms of user type and price then given an average score for the Ski boot's components.
Resort Finder
The magazine's feature Resortfinder helps you find a place to Ski and vacation. It gives a long list of Ski resorts then describes and rates the resort you are interested in. According to Ski Magazine, Vail has been the top Ski resort for a number of years. It is described as "better than any resort on the continent, this Colorado behemoth is able to be all things to all Skiers". The Resortfinder has a trip planning feature to help with your Vail (or other resort) vacation. There are resort links for information on snow reports, trail maps and even a mountain cam to view the resort.
