Everything that adventure enthusiasts love about the outdoors
Dominic Killinger 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 mountain travel market, Vertical Drop Magazine was launched in 2011 and is already recognised as owning a niche in it’s market.

Patrick Thorne Editor
Unbeatable Distribution As paid for magazine sales decline, Vertical Drop’s distribution is aimed at the mass market, reaching adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts online and offline every month.
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 mag.
