December

One of the good things about snowboarding is that the end of the calendar year isn’t really the end – it’s only the end of the beginning. Already in December we’ve had the (somewhat disappointing) Beijing Air & Style, the Helgasons’ latest full movie NoToBo, the Dew Tour, and the start of the FIS World Cup series (including its first ever women’s Big Air). Plus we got word that, after a decade on the Burton Global Team, Nicolas Müller had moved over to Gnu.

We had a Travis Rice shot all lined up for the cover, taken during the filming for his follow-up to The Art Of Flight. Unfortunately some skier dude let the cat out of the bag when he released footage of the very same gnarly culoir. Fortunately our North Korean correspondent was able to “stumble across” leaked footage of Trav’s own line – gnarly, eh?

Which leaves us with only one thing to muse on for 2015, as crazy as 2014 was, it will only get more so in 2015.
