Forum Snowboards is Back
Via Forum Snowboards

Rarely in snowboarding is a brand as iconic and as widely loved as Forum. The brand was founded in 1996 by pro rider Peter Line and the Four Star Distribution company. Known for its unconventional marketing, product development, and overall influence on the industry, Forum was a snowboarding powerhouse in the 1990s and early 2000s. Ran for riders by riders, Forum revitalized the snowboard market and challenged companies to re-evaluate their strategy. They were provocative and trendsetting all while moving the needle on what was possible in the snowboard world.

After a pretty mild start to fall, the peaks of Utah and Colorado will see some appreciable snow this weekend. A sufficiently cold airmass will mean resorts see pretty much all snow from this storm โ€” great news as mountains start to gear up for winter operations

[VIDEO] The Daily POW | Skiing Alta, UTโ€™s, First Dump of the 2022/23 Season

Report from Sunday and Monday 23/24th October 2022 at Alta Ski Area, UT, and written by The Daily POW

It’s been a long warm end to the summer in Utah. We haven’t seen much rain and it remained in the 80s well into October. But the switch was hit, and winter has arrived. Yesterday, Sunday, the first storm of the season continued to rage well into the evening. We hiked to Thirds via Gunsight around 2 pm while the wind and snow persisted. A loaded mini-ridge started fracturing so we 1-at-a-timed it across and still set off a small slide that moved at least 100 feet downslope. We weren’t feeling great about things at this point but there wasn’t a ton of snow and it was fracturing only ~4 inches deep so we felt OK enough to ski down the main slope along the skier’s right trees that we always ski.
