Yeah, I'm not busy at all.

Just as a heads up, we made some major moves this week at Storm Mountain Puiblishing. Plain and simple, we bought SNOWBOARD Magazine. That means that we've now got Ski Time Magazine, Freeskier Magazine and Snowboard Magazine. Now I've got to somehow integrate all our all digital properties together and put together some sort of long range plan. Not busy at all...

Here's the official release.







Boulder, CO (July 31, 2006) - Storm Mountain Publishing Company (SMP), parent of FREESKIER magazine, has entered into a long-term partnership agreement with Global United Publishing’s SNOWBOARD magazine. It was announced today by SMP President & CEO Bradford Fayfield.

The new arrangement comes just weeks after SNOWBOARD’s Publisher Mark Sullivan announced that his company would not be publishing its September issue due to financial constraints. The news spurred widespread discussion within the snowboarding industry and abroad.

“This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for SNOWBOARD and FREESKIER,” said Fayfield. “As independent publishers, Mark and I have faced similar challenges competing against the corporate media giants. This union will allow us to work together to level the playing field and take our respective titles to entirely new levels.”

Sullivan and the staff at SNOWBOARD are enthused about the partnership:

“We had several interested parties, and ultimately we decided that joining forces with Storm Mountain Publishing and its team was the best way to go,” said Sullivan. “Our titles complement one another perfectly, and having the infrastructure and resources of a successful, independent publisher will help us reach the next level. Storm Mountain Publishing also shares our philosophy of contributing to the health and long-term growth of our respective sports.”

The parties expect to finalize the partnership within the next 30 days. More detailed information about the transaction will be forthcoming.
Storm Mountain Publishing Company was founded in 1997 by Bradford Fayfield and publishes FREESKIER magazine, Freeskier.com, Fantasy Freeride League, SKI TIME magazine and Skitimemag.com
