I'm definitely stoked on the recent uprising of shred bloggers. I don't mean the guys that drive up to the mountain, then write about the trip as if anyone cares and call themselves journalists. I mean the bloggers and new online/print publications that are consistently out-scooping the traditional mags in terms of NEWS. On one part, it's easy to get the jump on the mags since they generally lay out their April issue before New Year's. At the same time, a lot of bloggers clearly put a lot of effort into getting the real out there for us to read. To see what I mean, peep Angry Snowboarder, Boardistan, Shayboarder, Rider Tech, 4 Snowboarding, Pop, Blisss, The Mustachio. Sorry if I missed anyone this round, I'm sure I'll be updating this list frequently as quality snow bloggers are seriously popping up left and right, giving the mags a run in content quality. Also, if you're in Costa Mesa on the 30th, cruise by World Gallery to check out the "Things That Kill..." show by Chad Carothers and Alex Funderburk! Snowboarding Saves Lives!
