I have seen issues of this magazine over the years, and the only thing that seems to change is the look and a few stories. How is this still running? Each year there are the same stories in multiple issues and even the same thing run each year! The A-Z is sh*t, it seems to feature very sparse amounts of resorts (probably only the ones that pay for advertising). There is no hiding it either, sometime the page numbers are even from the previous issue, and some stories ran from older years in old styles are then reproduced in new versions where the style is different. At least refresh the rerun stories in current look of the magazine! The whole magazine is very much Austria (again due to advertising I think as there are a lot of Austria ads in the magazine). Some of the stories are good, but then this is ruined when they are re-run nearly every issue and then re-run again the next year! There is a massive lack of equipment features and reviews too. The magazine has some sort of potential (how much i don't know) but it seems to make money even though its rubbish, imagine if you got someone who doesnt seem like they are still living in the 70's to edit it and got some new content, it could possibly be worth a two star rating then!

Good Ski Guide is very honest, reliable, but maybe a bit traditional in its views. Excellent safety features, and hard-hitting.

Seems to dislike USA resorts (quite right as they are small) but writes up Canada (business link??). And vile about Eastern European resorts - again quite correct.

It has famous writers and good solid reporting, but not enough ski gear reviews.

Truly awful publication, seems to have been written in a style at least 20 years out of date. In terms of resort information seems to be far more interested in being contentious rather than delivering any useful information. The lack of any meaningful equipment reviews and the volume of drivel focused on the decor of a given hotel (meaningless details) makes me question if any of the staff actually have ever been skiing or snowboarding.

Awful, awful magazine. Who edits this rubbish? I can't believe this magazine is still going. Have mostly seen it left in the toilets at the ski shows which quite frankly is about as much as it deserves.

i think Good Ski Guide is one of the best ski guides i have ever read becasue it debunks a lot of the myths about big resorts such as Vail, 'Verbier and St Anton - criticizing themnd saying they are not best for families but resorts which operate for profit rahter than look after guests. It has little equipment writing but what it does it does well and does not talk down to you.
Also has amazing prizes witht the winners names/photos published, which is another rare thing these days.

I have never actually bought the Good Ski Guide but I did stumble across their website and was horrified to find an article headlined "Beasts from the East" which slanders Eastern European skiers as being a bunch of drunken and dirty "louts". It is a disgustingly racist article and I am surprised they are allowed to publish it. I hope that their site gets pulled as this kind of coverage is truly offensive.

Good resort reports, appears honest/accurate. But little equipment reports and not much boarding cover. Good read, particularly the critical sections, resort cover exceptional, appears to be international magazine.

Good Ski Guide is different to all oher ski mags - it's feisty, colorful, with lots of sharp critiques on resorts.
