We say it every year, but this one really does feel special. Issue EIGHT marks another leap forward — a return to hardcover, one hell of a cover, a focus on full-bleed, and 228 ad-free pages packed with more features, more photos, and more weight than your coffee table can handle. Every detail (from the silk paper stock to the sequencing) was pushed to truly recount the past year in snowboarding. Chances are you noticed that if you were at the release party in Salt Lake last week. If you weren't, we recommend combatting that FOMO through the following:
- Ordering Issue EIGHT
- Waiting 3-5 business days
- Brewing a nice cup of tea
- Putting the Torment Stoner Pack to good use
- Ripping the plastic off of Issue EIGHT and indulging in the past year of snowboarding

Issue EIGHT.
Issue EIGHT is here. A deep look at snowboarding and the photos that exemplify it over the last year. 228-pages, large spreads, ad-free, hardcover book with more articles than SEVEN ever had.
Six features, three short articles, and 109 gallery pages on silk paper, featuring Jacob Krugmire on the cover shot by Cole Navin in Hokkaido, Japan.
Every year we try to switch it up, and this year we pushed back to a full-bleed cover, nodding to past issues, while adding more editorial without sacrificing the galleries, always sequenced to keep the pages turning.
Everything we have went into Issue EIGHT displaying the work of 49 photographers, so grab a copy, settle in, and remind yourself of why snowboarding rules.
