RIDER: Sam Lindsay
LOCATION: Niseko, Japan
PHOTOGRAPHER: Rob Alexander

Sam Lindsay scores cover with a powder turn in Japan, and the sequence shot follows on the Contents page. The first main feature is an interview with Kiwi legend and world traveller Quentin Robbins. That’s followed by “Latitude North”, where Harro takes us to Alaska, Graham Dunbar goes to Europe, Thomas Jones tells us about Verbier in Switzerland, Sam Lindsay boasts about Japan, Dylan Butt covers Blackcomb and Whistler, Aaron Jamieson travels from USA to Canada (after Japan), and Rick Clairemont goes to Utah. Lee Rowlands takes us through a method-to-fakie in “Trick Tip”, and we cover the “History of Cardrona Halfpipes”, which have been steadily improving since their first in 1989. “Edge” looks at Snowboarding Injuries and Prevention, and in “Fast Forward” we profile Glenn Howe and Martin Sporli.
