Nina Zietman

Contributing editor Nina was once called "unteachable" by her snowboard instructor when learning to ride - but she wasn't deterred. Eight years down the line, she's no Jenny Jones but loves riding her battered Burton in Canada and France as often as possible. She writes for the print and online editions, while plotting a future escape to the mountains.
