The snowshoeing and water sports communities are entering an exciting new chapter as Snowshoe Mag and River Sports Mag transition to new ownership. After nearly a decade of dedication and leadership by Susan and Paul Wowk, these beloved publications are poised to continue their legacy under the guidance of Rina Katchur, a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience in sports media and marketing, who has managed advertising and partnerships for Snowshoe Mag and River Sports Mag for the past four years.
Snowshoe Mag, originally founded by Ryan Alford in 2004, has been a trusted voice in the snowshoeing world for many years. Ryan’s vision for the publication was to provide readers with expert advice, inspiring stories, and a platform to celebrate their passion for snowshoeing. When Susan and Paul Wowk took over ownership, they carried forward that mission with great care and dedication, further building on its success. Now, under Rina’s leadership, the journey continues with a renewed commitment to the values that have made Snowshoe Mag what it is today.
Rina brings a wealth of expertise from her extensive career in publishing. She has held significant roles at industry giants like ESPN, Sports Illustrated, USA Today, and Alloy Media + Marketing. Rina is also the founder of Katch Communications, a sales, marketing, and media firm dedicated to connecting businesses to relationships and revenue. In 2022, she further expanded her entrepreneurial reach by founding Katch Sports, a digital platform aimed at connecting sports, recreation, and wellness enthusiasts through news and community engagement.
Snowshoe Mag has long been a trusted voice in the snowshoeing world, providing readers with expert advice, inspiring stories, and a platform for enthusiasts to connect and celebrate their love of the sport. Similarly, River Sports Mag has carved out a meaningful presence in the water sports community, offering resources and content tailored to the passions of its readers.
