17.3 Issue Preview
Mid-January has arrived and winter is in full swing. Many of us scored early season. Some of us are in Japan. Others may already be jaded by fluctuating temps and snow forecasts across the country. But no matter your scenario, remember it’s still technically early season. And early season means magazine season.
With that, we’re elated to release the third and final issue of the season. While we patiently wait for a tangible copy to land in our hands, here’s a glimpse into 17.3. Take a break. Remember there are three solid months of snowboarding ahead. Get into the new mag, available at your local shop or through our free Canada-wide subscription.
