The World Snowboard Day website [www.world-snowboard-day.com] is already online and organizers can already start planning their event.
– The Ambassador: this year once again, a new pro-rider will take over the reins from the charismatic Xavier de Le Rue. Patience is a virtue, and we will reveal the mystery-individual’s name all in good time!
