A good deal on ski magazines

A couple of years ago I heard about a discount ski magazine offer from a ski club I was a member of. This person offers pretty heavily discounted subscriptions to various ski magazines. For example

Ski $7.95
Skiing $7.95
Powder $8.95

Just drop an email to Sean O'Brien seaneobrien@msn.com and tell him I sent you his way. I stopped subscribing to Powder personally, but still get the other two, even though Skiing is kind of lame. The reason these subscriptions are so cheap is that the mailing lists for these magazines are worth a lot to direct mail marketers, who want to sell you package ski deals or slopeside condos. The magazines subsidize the circulation to get names to sell to marketers (yes, nearly every single kind of magazine does this).

Also Okemo has been blowing snow for the last few days, with hopes of opening a few advanced trails for Thanksgiving weekend. Here's a picture from Monday, Nov 21.
