Customer Reviews

High class guide that will inspire as much as it will inform
Snowboarding the World is a beautifully produced guide book that will inspire its readers, as much as it will inform them.

The 384 page full colour guide covers 100 of the world's top resorts across 19 countries, including some far flung destinations like Iran, Japan and Poland in addition to the better known resorts in North America and Europe. The book also dips into the history of snowboard media, offers brief language guides and gives advice on doing a season.

Authored by three well known snowboard journalists who have laid lines on peaks that few others will ever lay eyes on, it's not only beautifully written, but illustrated with tantalising pictures that will have you packing your board bag and running for the hills.

In amongst the well laid out resort info, the "lift chat" and "rider's tales" sections give us a flavour of each location by featuring short accounts of the authors' own experiences whilst on their travels. We also get a useful and entertaining "locals do...locals don't" and an environmental rating for each resort.

The authors, Matt Barr, Chris Moran and Ewan Wallace, must be commended for producing such a high quality publication that has raised the bar of snowboarding travel literature. This high class guide will sit nicely on your coffee table, provide a valuable reference guide and enthral all who open it.

With a large format, clean layout and tantalising text and pictures, Snowboarding the World is highly recommended for any rider with a sense of adventure, a thirst for travel, and a love for lines less ordinary.

Review by[] - The Magazine for Snow Travellers.

awesome
I've been snowboarding for 12 years (full winter seasons) in European resorts and this is the first book to talk truthfully about the places I know and love very much, and its the only book out there that makes me want to go snowboarding to new places (I didn't know had mountains).

Fantastic guide not just for experts
Great guide that's useful for practical information as well as fun just to read. The fun formatt with lost of great photos, to the point fact boxes and casual text style make it not just a guide book but also a great read. Excellent for researching new destinations you haven't been to yet. As a beginner I was very happy to see that all levels of snowboarders are catered for in the guide. Highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in snowboarding!
