Mt. Baker, WA – frequency: The Snowboarder’s Journal is now shipping the seventeenth issue (#6.1) to subscribers, shops, and bookstores all over North America, as well as Japan and Europe. With the incredible imagery, compelling stories, and amazing adventure that readers have come to expect from the world’s best snowboard publication, the new issue features an interview with the NW’s latest top talent threat, Irish bulldog Patrick McCarthy. From humble beginnings as a Stevens Pass grom looking up to Jamie Lynn, Peter Line, as well as Elan Bushell, Patrick has gone on to lock down Mack Dawg segments and real estate while keeping his drive to ride intact. Follow Andrew Crawford, Lukas Huffman, and Shandy Campos along with photog Mark Welsh to deepest interior BC for a secret mission to some of the globe’s best powder. Check out Jessica Mooney’s photo essay on sled access, “Rise and Fall,” featuring riding by Nico Mueller, John Jackson and others along with critical thoughts on the role of snowmachines in the backcountry. Jesse Burtner takes us to Colorado’s underground Grand Prix of Jibbing event with the So Gnar crew, where no one is really in charge and everyone prefers it that way.
