Everything that adventure enthusiasts love about the outdoors
David Carberry Publisher David has had a long career history in looking after the every whim of some of the UK’s most prestigious footballers. Now with a growing passion for outdoor adventure sports and having completed a plethora of marathons, half marathons, several nationwide fell races and the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge as well as sky diving and skiing to add to his adventure CV, David is perfectly placed to lead Vertical Drop Magazine into the gaping gap in the marketplace for a soft adventure, summer action magazine, using the same successful format adopted from InTheSnow Magazine and Golf News Magazine.
in OUTDOOR stores right when readers are making their purchase decision Unbeatable Distribution As paid for magazine sales decline,
Dominic Killinger Co-Publisher Dominic founded Square Mile in 2002, providing Wi-Fi on yachts . Within just 4 years, BT bought the company. At the same time, Dominic sold an online marine publishing business that was less than 12 months old! With a small pot of other business interests, his ultimate aim was to create a business that fulfilled his passion for the outdoors. Identifying an obvious gap in the Ski Publishing market in the 2007/8 Ski Season, InTheSnow magazine was launched. Now with the same gap existing in the summer action outdoors market, Vertical Drop Magazine is launched.
Vertical Drop’s distribution is aimed at the mass market, reaching adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts online and offline every month.

Patrick Thorne Editor Patrick has been a full time, year round, professional ski writer for 25 years. Nicknamed ‘The Snow Hunter’ he has located 6,000 ski areas in 80 countries and for the past decade has published a weekly bulletin of stories from ski resorts all around the planet, notching up more than 5,000 reports. He has written a dozen books on skiing, received several awards, had his work translated in to more than 20 languages and was named ‘One of 20 People To know in Ski’ by The Times. So naturally Patrick’s passion, knowledge and enthusiasm for the mountains has led to this natural progression of producing a summer action magazine.
Ben Clatworthy News Correspondent Ben joined the InTheSnow team in September 2009 as the Regular News Correspondent. He has been skiing since age three and currently ski races with the UK’s oldest ski club, Kandahar, competing in the British and English Alpine Ski Championships for the past eight years. Ben is spending the 2011/12 winter season in the Alps training to become a ski instructor whilst also competing in international races. Ben has an intimate knowledge of the mountains all year round, so provides a valuable insight and contribution to Vertical Drop Magazine.
