FROM THE MAG—Zeb’s Zen: Is There Peace in Powder?
Zeb Powell might just be Instagram’s first true viral snowboarder. If not him, then Marcus Kleveland—but there’s something fitting about their first knuckle huck face-off playing such a big role in Zeb’s rise. Read about Zeb's foray into powder from the December issue of the magazine.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 2024 — ATHLETE BIOS
Last year, Robin Van Gyn launched the RND event to bring together and showcase the next generation of female backcountry snowboarders. While the prize money and a coveted spot in Natural Selection were big rewards, the real win was the exposure these riders gained. Take Ellory Manning, for example: the youngest competitor from Tahoe, who took home first place and earned her ticket to Natural Selection. An opportunity like this could have taken her years to achieve. The athlete roster is packed with names you'll want on your radar—these riders are the future of backcountry snowboarding.
DROP-ED: Park City, The Strike, and the Cost of Cutting Corners

As operations falter and stock values drop, the industry faces a critical question: Will Vail negotiate, or will it take a serious injury to force change?
