Print will be hitting shelves soon and to celebrate we are bringing back the Exposure Meter!

Over the past few weeks, we have meticulously flipped through last year’s print offerings from the four major American snowboard magazines to tally up which of the 500+ riders, photographers, writers, and brands had the most page space in @slushthemagazine @torment_mag @thesnowboardersjournal and @snowboardmag. Yes, we awarded points… but it’s not a contest. Every year will probably vary heavily based on projects, trips, where all the photos end up. Each and every issue is a reflection of the good times, hard work and long hours spent out in the mountains and we wanted to recognize those that make it all possible. Covers, posters, spreads, interviews, ads and more have been counted up and our findings are below along with the scoring criteria. Click on the lists to see the full things with every rider included.
