Chris Phillips Named Publisher of SKI, Skiing and Skiing Business

Chris Phillips is the new publisher of Bonnier’s Mountain Group, which includes SKI, Skiing and Skiing Business.

Phillips, a Colorado native, comes to Bonnier following nearly a decade in sales and marketing at some of the region’s top lifestyle and enthusiast publications. Most recently, Phillips was director of sales and marketing for Colorado AvidGolfer (CAG), a media company and magazine with a readership of more than 560,000. During his tenure, Phillips also served as publisher of the company’s annual mountain lifestyle title, Colorado Escapes.

While at CAG, Phillips was responsible for forging strategic partnerships with major brands spanning a broad range of categories, including Troon Golf, Four Seasons, Land Rover, AT&T, Jack Daniel’s and Frontier Airlines. Previously, he was vice president of sales and marketing at Colorado Golf and Desert Golf magazines.

“Chris Phillips is the ideal sales leader for the Mountain Group,” said Gregg Hano, senior vice president of corporate sales at Bonnier. “His personal passion for the sport, combined with his strong roots in both the mountain category and nonendemic sales, will be outstanding assets for the ski titles as well as the company as a whole.”

In addition to the three magazines, Bonnier's Mountain Group includes the digital umbrella site skinet.com.
