7yW's own Paul Bourdon is off into the world of real snowboard journalism and he is killing it. This is a must read.

Some argued that having the mainstream spotlight shine on the sport was good for it, and for a time snowboarding’s popularity exploded. As fate would have it, this growth was not sustainable and left some questioning “Has snowboarding lost its edge?” Snowboarding has not lost its edge. Sure the numbers in some jackass’s financial ledger may suggest that snowboarding is in decline, but we’re just trimming the fat. This era is arguably the most exciting time to be a snowboarder since the golden era of the mid 1990s. We are in the middle of a snowboard renaissance and the course we are poised to take moving forward has the perspective of the past to guide it in a direction that we as snowboarders should be proud of.

7yW alum Forrest Gladding talks Wasatch Equality with the great podcast Not Snowboarding

In this Episode AJ and I chat with one of the men behind the lawsuit filed against Alta ski resort, Forrest Gladding. Forrest and his family live just a couple of miles from Alta and have been an instrumental part of the fight to end discrimination at Alta. In addition to talking about Wasatch Equality we touch on surfing, how Brighton is like mini-golf, One Wasatch , shit Alta skiers say, Burton’s poaching contest and much more.
