					<description><![CDATA[Each year the snowboard magazines decide their top snowboard choices by designing boards tests built around various methodologies. Snowboard Magazine has their Platinum Pick describes as the &#8220;best of the best. Here you find out our choices for best jib boards, best powder boards and just plain best things&#8230;&#8221; The test is ultimately &#8220;not a product test, rather a look around the industry to see who is pushing design, materials, fashion and technology.&#8221; In fact they completely reach out and discuss product tests saying that it&#8217;s up to you, the rider, to determine if a board works for you&#8230;not some product test. So the platinum picks are really just top choices to consider for the upcoming year. I do wish  for the sake of women&#8217;s snowboarding, that in the future there will be women&#8217;s models included. Of the 11 winning boards, I&#8217;ve only ridden five of the boards (some in previous years). The list is a mix of popular boards like the Machete, Cobra, Jamie Lynn Phoenix but also some new choices to consider like the Sims and Endeavor. The list also seems very focused on boards that aren&#8217;t just park or powder but a good all-mountain/freestyle collection mix. Snowboard [&#8230;]]]></description>

Yes, that is the real name, which was changed from Manchester by its residents some years back so we could be “different” from all the other Manchester’s in the world. I know, ridiculous, right? Anyways, I grew up snowboarding a small mountain in western Mass called Bousquet where I originally skied for seven years. My grandfather was an instructor and wasn’t stoked when I flipped to “the dark side” at the ripe old age of ten. I ended up at UMass Amherst where I found myself riding the “big” mountains of the East Coast and helped run the UMass Ski and Snowboard Club. Which was basically a club that subsidized the price to ride and party all winter. Bonus! After college I traveled through Central America because why the hell not.

Of the ten winning boards, I&#8217;ve ridden six of them (some in previous years).  When I compare the results to last year&#8217;s test 8 out [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve gone through the Good Wood and the Best Of which means it&#8217;s onto the final test brought to you by Snowboard Magazine with their annual Platinum Pick.  The Platinum Pick test took three of Snowboard Magazine&#8217;s editors as the testers (1 female Tawyna Schultz and 2 males, Nate Deschenes and Chris Owen) who ride different terrain to judge the boards to find winners.  The result is the best of the best according to Snowboard Mag. The Platinum Pick methology is unclear in the article so you don&#8217;t know how many boards were brought to the table or what the conditions are. I did find it funny that when I read the article they mention 15 boards but only 14 winners were listed so not sure what happened there or if i&#8217;m missing something.  You have a better understanding of who the testers than previous years but no preferences/stats/info about them.  The addition of women&#8217;s boards in the test is two thumbs up in my book, excited to see Tawyna test and take the lead on bringing out women&#8217;s boards into the limelight. [singlepic id=6296 w=227 h=205 float=] I&#8217;ve ridden 6 of the 14 boards so far and would definitely [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a new way to enjoy snowboarding in Colorado this winter with the introduction of Snowboard Colorado Magazine hitting the local shops.  The magazine just enjoyed their inaugural issue with a launch party in Colorado to introduce the magazine to the Colorado scene.  Now every month from September to May you can pick up an issue for free and scout out the latest riders, resorts and products. [singlepic id=9989 w=377 h=476 float=] For the first issue, Colorado rider Erik Van Assche snags the coveted cover shot and riders are shown throughout the magazine in backcountry to urban locations around Colorado with photography by Terry Ratzlaff.  Articles focus on the latest snowboard films, backcountry riding with Chad Otterstrom, backcountry awareness, resort renovations, interviews with reps to  local and big name pros and product showcases. The best part about the beginning is seeing the improvements progress as the magazine continues on with more articles, riders and photography that showcases the Colorado lifestyle in snowboarding.  Despite no longer living in Colorado, I&#8217;m glad to have my part in the magazine and look forward to seeing what&#8217;s next for them. If you&#8217;ve gotten your hands on the Snowboard Colorado Magazine, what do you think [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Frequency fits a different mold than your average snowboard magazine; the quarterly publication is focused on high quality and limited advertising which is rare in snowboarding.  Founded in 2001, Frequency: The Snowboarders Journal has grown to become a popular magazine for snowboarders wanting more than a throwaway magazine and the editorial/photography speaks for itself when published in a coffee table style journal. Located in Bellingham, Washington the office houses Frequency:  The Snowboarders Journal, Ski Journal and Flyfish Journal.  The new location that they are now housed in is more remote than their previous downtown Bellingham location but also offers a quiet workspace environment and you&#8217;d never guess such a quality magazine is in this location. [singlepic id=8900 w=267 h=401 float=] Upon entering the Frequency office, Jamie Lynn greets you at the door in the portrait done by Matt French. [singlepic id=8905 w=267 h=401 float=] The waiting area stocked with copies of Frequency, Ski Journal and the new Flyfish Journal await people for some leisure time before a big meeting.

					<description><![CDATA[Each year the snowboard magazines decide their top snowboard choices by designing boards tests built around various methodologies.   Snowboard Magazine  has their Platinum Pick which focuses on the &#8220;all-around&#8221; board and the list is out for the 2010 Platinum Pick winners. The Platinum Pick methology brings 70 boards to the table (2  all-around boards from each company, roughly 35 companies or so) and tests them at various mountains (Stevens Pass, Keystone, Silverton, Stowe) in multiple conditions throughout the season.  Who the testers are is unclear, so we have no concrete idea of who the preferences/stats/rider info but these boards stand out from the masses in the test.  Finally they only offer men&#8217;s boards in the dirty dozen, even though I ride men&#8217;s boards I find that ignoring women&#8217;s boards isn&#8217;t a step in the right direction. [singlepic id=6296 w=227 h=205 float=] Out of the dirty dozen, I&#8217;ve ridden 4 of these boards and 1 board I&#8217;m sure is the same construction than when I rode it previously.  With the 4 boards I have ridden (Park Pickle, Indoor Survival, Evo-R, Skate Banana, Extr-eco) I certainly would ride them all for all around riding, some are on the stiffer side and [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Across the world, print media is having a difficult time. Not just in snowboarding, but in all the magazines that cover multiple genre&#8217;s. It&#8217;s quite normal to open a magazine and find more ads than content but now that&#8217;s been noticeably declining. I&#8217;m guessing that the magazines with less ads are actually finding themselves in a better position right now. It&#8217;s certainly appearing that online media has a place, we shall see if blogs become the new magazine. I&#8217;m coming up in the online world, I feel I can make that statement because this site is a success for me. In the first couple months I used to get 1,000 visitors a month, I now get that number times 3 in a single day. I continually pump out daily content and work hard to make sure that my readers have something to check out&#8230;year round on the subject of snowboarding. The best part is that I love doing this, I&#8217;m pushed to write about snowboarding, continue to learn more about it and use that knowledge to help people.   I was reading Brooke&#8217;s blog and some points she made about the internet being fucked because people give away content for [&#8230;]]]></description>
