Insider information on the ski & snowboard industry and our ski and snowboard instructor courses.
Inspired by a post on Whitelines.com this week, we thought we’d rack our brains for the developments in snowboarding that… well… are less likely to become a global phenomenon. The following might not have the impact on the industry that triple base technology and reverse camber have had (which did seem a little wacky to start with), but they all deserve 10 out of 10 for insanity: … Read more
