Halldor Helgason got November off to a dramatic start when he publicly slammed the recently-departed Nike on Instagram. Essentially his feelings were ‘Nike Snowboarding good, Nike parent company bad’, and it kicked off quite a debate online. In cheerier news, Swiss pow master Fredi Kalbermatten finally came back in from the wilderness, signing on the dotted line with Lib Tech snowboards and outerwear.

Oakley pulled out all the stops for the UK premiere of Snowboarding For Me, bringing five of the biggest names in the sport to London. Meanwhile on the webisphere, Bryan Fox and Austin Smith of Drink Water made waves with their first full movie, Pathology.

Here at WL we took an in-depth, week-long look at the state of competitive snowboarding, that aimed to get to the bottom of why it’s in such a sorry state, who’s really to blame, and how it can be fixed. What do you mean you didn’t read it?
