Volume 23 of FREESKIER will continue to be produced with the same large format and quality paper as previous iterations, and issues will hit newsstands and mailboxes before the holiday shopping season. Along with rich editorial content, each issue will feature premium custom content that we create with our partners and present in FREESKIER’s authentic voice.
Given the challenging times that people are facing around the globe in 2020, FREESKIER will temporarily reduce the number of print issues to better align with our partners’ demand. In the fall of 2020 there will be two full print issues and in 2021 we will return our regular print schedule.
Issue #1 – September/Buyer’s Guide
The #1 Gear Guide in Skiing
The FREESKIER Buyer’s Guide is by far and away the industry’s leading gear guide. Over 100 skis are ranked and reviewed as a result of FREESKIER’s annual ski tests, and appear alongside throngs of outerwear, goggles, helmets, and accessories, all deemed the best of the best by our team. In addition to the editorial inclusions, FREESKIER’s partners are invited to participate in a premium advertorial section of the book. See below for details.–
Buyer’s Guide Advertorial
This advertorial section offers advertisers a 2-page platform to highlight up to 6 new and exciting products through compelling words and imagery. Each product gets a 50-word write-up and MSRP in addition to visual call outs of new and/or technical features that make the products stand out. We’ll work with your team so that the tone and verbiage perfectly represents your brand.
Included with Freeskier’s print Brand Guide is the digital version which lives in our online Buyer’s Guide at Freeskier.com. Your custom-branded button will lead gear-hungry readers to full-page slides that showcase each of your products. Along with providing the same in-depth information presented in the magazine, interactive hotspots bring your products to life by calling out the gear’s technical features and “buy now” links give readers instant access to a point of purchase.

Issue #2 – November
All of our favorite content in one place!
FREESKIER’s second issue of the year will combine all of our favorite things about skiing: destinations, personalities and gear! We’ll take readers inside the latest film projects and athlete excursions while also keeping them up to date on the latest innovations in ski gear. The open-format of this issue also allows us to create and implement an array of custom content to fit your needs.


Gear Spotlight
Do you have a piece of gear that deserves to be in the spotlight? This advertorial option is the perfect way to shed some light on your latest and greatest. Utilizing a full-page or two-page spread, our team will work with you to highlight the features that make your product special and convey that to our readers through a detailed review and high-quality photography.
