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.

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.
