It’s got probably one of the best park of the alps this season.  Ambush rider Simon Günther testing the setup …

What would be the first question you wouldn’t have an answer for?
-What is life?

What in your eyes made you what you are today?

- A series of completely random events.

How did you get into this?

- My addiction to adrenaline.

What is the meaning of style and who’s got it in your eyes?

- Style is someone who looks good without trying to look good .Or, in the case of snowboarding, does tricks without trying to make it look good. Someone who tries’s to much is really bad style to me. Read the rest of this entry »

First of all, this was my first year attending the European Freeskiing Open, and let me just say it was an amazing time even though the majority of the event was canceled. After all the good things I had heard about the previous years in Laax, I had to make it happen. Skiing, partying, hot chicks, and amazing chocolate; what more could a guy ask for.

Early Monday morning, my trip began as I headed to the Salt Lake City International Airport. Three planes, two trains, and a bus later I arrived in Laax. I can’t even begin to explain the beauty of these mountains. I hauled my luggage through the town in awe of my surroundings, as I desperately searched for my place. Once I finally found it, I was amazed at how much more luxurious the living was compared to those at the riders palace, courtesy of Orage. I stashed my things and headed out for some serious exploration. Little did I know, I would be up early the next morning ready to compete.

For the second consecutive year, Volcom Stone’s Peanut Butter and Rail Jam stopped in Luz Ardiden, a small resort located in the French Pyrenees. Despite a difficult beginning of season weather wise (lots of rain and fog), a good snowfall preceded the event allowing us a good afternoon of Shredding on the Friday afternoon and letting HO5 shapers prepare a fun setup.

Hi all,

After more a month of waiting, here is my run in Engadin Snow, on Mount Corvatsch.

Check out the Infracomb doing some great job in some pretty strange snow conditions !

One thing is already sure, we’ll see Mati and the Infracomb on the 2011 Freeride World Tour !!

Yeah !!

One might think spanish chicks wear skirts and paint their fingernails…?! Well, perhaps Monica does, but she also chooses some sick lines …

Whether phodawg Mic Dragaschnig is at home with architecture or jibbing, whatever … it seems to be the mix. Protagonist Sam Strauss, helping adding life to another awesome shot.

Hi folks!

Now we are in the second week of our tour de alps. So far we’ve been in some different places, mostly we have hade a lot of sunshine and not too much powder. Still we have had some really good times.

At the moment we are sitting in the café of Nangijala in Disentis and look at the snow falling from the sky nicely. So perhaps our powder dancing has been registered.  We’re going to be down in the Alps to March 15. Have not been skiing any quite spectacular yet, but have a few days with some small drops and some crashing.
Sending some photos that one of the guys we have traveled with have taken, he do not work as a photographer, but learned, however, that when you run the rocks are gray clothes may not be the smartest!  So the next time it is photo time I take my colorful clothes out.

Greets,

Asle

Level 1: “In a year where we’ve received far and away more Superunknown entries then ever before (over 100 from around the globe!), it’s also been the toughest decision making process to date. So, this year instead of a top 15, we’ve upped it to include the top 25 (though, 28 really), and even that was a hard number to whittle things down to. For every finalist, there was at least one other worthy contender that could have taken their place.”

Amongst those 25 AMPLID’s got 2 riders: Luka Melloni from Spain ad McRae Williams From the US. CHeck out their vids right here…:

Orginally from Chelsea, Quebec Ron spent the last three seasons shredding in Whistler before moving to Ottawa for school. At 21 he’s got no sponsors yet, he’s just jibbing for the love. Here’s his full part from a homies video called For A Few Dollars More. MORE ON SNOWBOARDCANADA.com

Wir rätseln noch immer über den Namen des Events: Whitestyle.

“Weiss” ist eine schöne Farbe. Schnee ist weiss, Zucker ist weiss, Shaun White ist weiss(/rot) und die Concorde war auch weiss. Read the rest of this entry »
