More snowboard media news from in Australia. A/NZ Snowboarding has been taken from ACP by Next Media, who also own Waves and Tracks (also formerly owned by ACP, after they purchased EMAP).

Nitro Snowboards ‘One Run’ Comp With Eero Ettala
Nitro Snowboards are doing a competition called ‘One Run’ which I really hope is open to Australians. The comp asks users to submit one end-to-end run on film for the Nitro team to vote on.

The show is definitely worth checking out – details on the flyer below.
