Summer is wrapping up and the smell of snow is in the air; or at least it is in Alaska. But regardless of temperatures and snowfall, September brings a wave of energy and excitement to the snowboard industry. While most resorts in the northern hemisphere are still a few months away from opening, and most shops don’t even stock next winters gear until late October, the last few season have seen Loveland and A-Basin opening in early October.

That makes September the ramp-up month, with an onslaught of new videos, magazine coverage of the best of last year, and thousands of dollars in add campaigns to tell you what’s going to be hot this winter. While that’s all fun to drool over, many boarders are left wondering what products will actually work for them; good thing you’ve found SBG, where everyday boarders, just like you, write the reviews.
