How this desk stays useful

Source first.
Timestamp everything.

Board releases must resolve to a manufacturer. Competition news and dates must resolve to the organiser or governing body. Forecasts are clearly labelled model guidance and sit beside live cameras and resort reports.

That keeps this page about the snowboard world—not a changelog for SBTV.
