Why You Can Trust Slope Magazine

We’re Reader-Supported

Our readers are the ones who help us keep doing what we love and for that, we’re forever grateful. We may make a small commission on gear you buy through our site, without any additional cost to you.

Returns Get Us Nothing

If you buy through one of our affiliate partners and return your gear, we get nothing. Your trust means everything to us and that’s why it’s in our interest to thoroughly research, test, and analyze all gear. That way you buy once, we keep the lights on, and together we help reduce the world’s carbon footprint.

Reviews by People for the People

Our writers and editors are passionate snowboarders and skiers. We pride ourselves on hiring local experts from ski instructors to mountain guides and people that live and breathe the ski season with over 20 years of experience.

We Recommend The Best

Regardless of whether we receive a commission, we guarantee that all our recommendations are vetted. We pride ourselves on reviewing lesser-known high quality products and brands to give newcomers a fair chance too. Slope Magazine does not accept payment for reviews or for products to be included in buying guides. Nor do we prioritize higher paying affiliate partners. The best is the best based on our testing, not what pays the most. It’s as simple as that.

We Test & Test Again

We start our testing by selecting top contenders from hundreds of products. In that process, we weed out fake and untrusty reviews and biased sources. Once we get the gear, we test it thoroughly with hands-on comparison. In most cases, we state for how long we tested the gear. Everywhere from a few weeks to a full season.

Our Reviews Are Objective

You can trust that all reviews are objective. Of course, Slope Magazine has to pay the bills and we always pay our staff and contributors a fair wage. That’s why we display ads on your site and accept sponsored posts. However, sponsorship does not play a role in our editorial coverage and you’ll always read both the good and bad of a product. All sponsored content is clearly and proudly marked as such.
