Today In Stoke: Skylar Holgate throws some pow on the cover of Snowboard Colorado

​Nobody's reppin' the local scene as hard as the new Snowboard Colorado magazine, and the third issue hit core snowboard shops this week. To pick up your free copy, look for the brand-new magazine racks made from Colorado beetle-kill wood. That's Skylar Holgate on the cover carving a big turn on a lunar-looking landscape at Silverton Mountain, and the magazine is hell-bent on highlighting all things local, serving up evidence that snowboarding in Colorado is on its way to becoming an entirely self-sustaining economy: We've got some of the best board companies, the best riders, the best filmmakers and photographers, the best shops and -- of course -- the best mountains, and now we've got one of the best magazines to go with it all.

Inside this issue you'll find a quickie interview with Think Thank filmmaker and Dinosaurs Will Die co-founder Sean Genovese, a sneak peek at the new Frisco Terrain Park, a Backcountry Ops feature with Chat Otterstrom on Red Mountain, a profile of Silverthorne-based Unity Snowboards and a behind-the-scenes look at the Never Summer factory, spotlights on Aspen's Radio Boardshop and Summit County-based photographer Dave Lehl, plus interviews with Colorado locals Erich Dummer, Isabelle Lalive, and Jacob Neville.
