Web
The World Snowboard Guide made its first appearance on the web in 2001
“You do not need to be a single-plank convert to find the World Snowboard Guide a helpful source of insider information about the resorts worldwide & the prose remains refreshingly free of "rad" jargon and critical enough to put the soft boot in when merited”
Sunday Times
The philosophy of the site is the same as the book; we are truly independent and will tell you exactly what a resort is like.
Since its launch the site's had a number of transformations and a major revamp and rebrand in 2007. The website is developed in-house but was redesigned by Tristan Spill.
The site is updated daily by our team of reviewers and now consists of around 10,000 pages.
Whats on the website
The website covers over 1000 resorts across the world, as well as news, events and numerous articles about snowboarding.
Resort reviews
Of the 1000 resorts featured on the site, around 500 have full reviews. A review consists of an introduction, riding guide, off-the hill and travel sections. As with the book the riding guide covers freeriding, terrain parks, pistes and what it's like for beginners. Off the hill discusses the town itself, what accommodation is available, food and of course the bars & nightclubs. There are an increasing number of photos from our own library on each resort and also lots of video footage courtsey of youtube.
