Snowboarder Magazine is a magazine dedicated to snowboarding that is published in print and online. The magazine was started in 1987.[1] Five issues are published each year,[1] as well as a photo annual and in addition to gear guides and a resort guide.

History

[edit]

Snowboarder began life as a quarterly supplement to Surfer in late 1987, capitalising on the rapid growth of snowboarding. The first stand-alone buyer’s-guide issue appeared in September 1989, and by 1990 the title had adopted a regular five-issue annual schedule.[2]

Acquisition by The Arena Group (2022)

[edit]

On 13 December 2022 The Arena Group announced a US$28.5 million deal to acquire the digital assets of Snowboarder, Surfer, Powder and several other niche titles.[3][4]

In 2014 the editorial team released The Snowboarder Movie: Foreword, the magazine’s first full-length feature in more than a decade.[5]
