Snowboard Magazine is an independent snowboarding publication. It was founded in April 2004 by Mark Sullivan and Liz Sullivan in Hailey, Idaho. [1] [2] Soon they were joined by Jeff Baker, Jeff Douglass, Aaron Draplin, Gary Hansen and Jason "J2" Rasmus. Most of the crew were previous employees and/or contracted employees of Snowboarder Magazine . Until 2007 Mark Sullivan was also the publisher. [2] The magazine was the first product-focused magazine in snowboarding, quickly set trends for competing titles to follow, and quickly became the third-largest snowboarding publication in the world. In 2011 Snowboard Magazine was sold to Storm Mountain Publishing, publishers of Freeskier Magazine, which is based in Boulder, Colorado. [3]

In February 2016, the print edition of Snowboard Magazine ceased publication, going completely online. [1]
