THE 2022 SLUSHIES! RIDER OF THE YEAR AWARDS • DESPITE THE UNDENIABLE EXCITEMENT IT BRINGS TO VARIOUS STUDENTS OF THE GAME, THE RIDER OF THE YEAR AWARDS ARE BITTERSWEET. ON ONE HAND, WE REALLY DO BELIEVE IT IS BENEFICIAL TO VARIOUS RIDERS’ CAREERS TO GIVE THEM SOME OUTSIDE RECOGNITION. COUNTLESS RIDERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROPEL THEIR CAREERS FURTHER BASED ON THE INDUSTRY’S GROUP EFFORT TO RECOGNIZE SNOWBOARDING’S BEST.

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR NOMINEES • As snowboarding is not a heavily regulated sport (Amen), what qualifies as a nod for a rookie nominee is a little bit of a dark art. Nonetheless, we think we’ve done a bang up job of highlighting a solid class of up-and-comers.

THE 2022 SLUSHIES! RIDER OF THE YEAR AWARDS • Videos are the lifeblood of snowboarding culture. From the tricks performed to the style of filming to the music choice, videos are the universal language and historical scrolls of snowboarding. We have separated the Video of the Year category into two parts: Short (shorter than 20 minutes) and Long (longer than 20 minutes). A tip of the hat to all involved in these projects.

FOOTAGE OF THE YEAR NOMINEES • The footage of the year category aims to give accolades to the riders that went above and beyond in front of the lens. Whether the rider filmed their stuff in one part, or spread it over a couple projects, the following list of names are the riders that we believe as a staff, put up some of the top clips of the year.

RIDER OF THE YEAR NOMINEES • The Rider of the Year category is a coveted title that is awarded to the riders that have established themselves as the top of the field as voted for by a jury of their peers.

FORWARD LEAN AWARD NOMINEES • In an effort to recognize the people, projects and initiatives that have elevated the snowboarding conversation by greatly enriching our culture over the last year, Slush The Magazine has created the Forward Lean Award. Each of the four initiatives nominated for the 2022 Slush Forward Lean Award have enhanced the connection to snowboarding for riders around the world, and while we are ultimately bestowing this accolade upon the endeavor that proved most resonant with the hundreds of pros tasked with determining an outcome, each of the following four nominees deserves to be applauded for how they have enriched the mosaic of our collective snowboarding community.
