EDITOR’S LETTER TXT: SEQUENCE CREW RIDER: VICTOR DE LA RUE PIC: MATT GEORGES

Adventure and traveling share the same importance as the pure technical gesture in the culture of snowboarding. By its nature, riding improves faster when challenging new terrains and different approaches to riding: a perfect example is the different concept of carving that Dave Crozier and Lewis Sonvico found in Japan, where clean and elegant moves are preferred to the creative and aggressive freestyle approach of the new European school. The contact with new cultures does not only improve snowboarding, but also the rider himself: understanding and metabolizing different points of view and values opens the mind and puts everything into a wider perspective, it is no coincidence that the most progressive riders are those who have traveled more, like Xavier De La Rue that we interviewed in this issue. Technology is wonderful but it secludes you, because it takes you everywhere without moving from the couch, making you slave of your comfort zone: traveling does not necessarily mean risking your life in backcountry without experience or the right equipment, you can simply get out of the park to cruise through the resort, or change destination and visit as many places as possible. Mark Twain has very effectively summarized the importance of adventure and discovery in one of his aphorisms “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

GIGI RÜF IN THE 686 GLOBAL TEAM 686 Technical Apparel has announced the entry of Gigi Rüf into the global team. The Austrian rider, who will join Forest Bailey, Phil Jacques, Sammy Luebke, Victor Daviet, Matt Belzile and Mary Rand, will wear the GLCR and Multi Collection garments in his adventures around the world and in the races of the Freeride World Tour. “Gigi has a unique style and story in the snowboarding world, he has always let his riding talk pushing the limits of creativity We were looking for someone to represent our commitment in the Austrian and German market, and Gigi goes much further than that.” - declared Patrick McCarthy, Team Manager 686.

DAKINE HAS BEEN ACQUIRED BY MARQUEE BRANDS LLC Marquee Brands, brand in the private equity fund Neuberger Berman, acquired Dakine, the historic manufacturer of backpacks, bags and accessories founded in 1979 on the North Shore of Maui with headquarters in Hood River (Oregon) and Annecy (France). Marquee Brands has also signed a license agreement with JR286, entrusting Dakine’s operations to it and becoming a long-term partner. This operation aims at consolidating the Asian and Latin American markets. JR286, active in the development and distribution of sports equipment, has already licensed brands such as Nike, Fox and Hurley.

STEVE GRUBER AFTERBEIGE RELEASE Ästhetiker ambassador and rider since 1992. Maturity, experience and alot of class. We are not surprised that K2 wanted some of this in his European team. To welcome the legend Steve Gruber, the Seattle brand has released a limited edition of the Afterblack model, renamed Afterbeige for the occasion, produced in only 35 autographed copies. This is a true freestyle twin with tip and tail of the same size combined with a centered radial sidecut. The average flex gives a precise answer, but it is rather buttery to enjoy every jib.

POLARTEC PRESENTS POWER AIR Polartec, supplier of innovative textile solutions, presented Polartec Power Air, the first technology designed to reduce the dispersion of microfibres. By encapsulating the fibers inside a multilayer fabric structure, thanks to the processing of a continuous yarn, it turns out to be a new and revolutionary platform that offers advanced thermal efficiency. Recognized that any fiber is susceptible to dispersion in the environment, depending on normal wear, the Power Air process mitigates this effect by demonstrating that it disperses fibers five times less than other mid-layers.

RADICAL GAINS: THE GB PARK AND PIPE STORY A fascinating journey through the history of the freestyle freeskiing and snowboarding team. Curated by photographer Sam Mellish, it contains over 180 images from around the world and contributions from the best writers and photographers in the industry. Radical Gains traces the rise of British skiing and snowboarding from its humble beginnings to the celebrations of Sochi and PyeongChang, revealing how they have become one of the most respected winter sports teams up to date. It includes an editorial by sports journalist Matt Barr and BBC correspondent Ed Leigh. The book is available for pre-order on www.dieselbooks.co.uk.

TREELINE – THE NEW MOVIE BY PATAGONIA Trees are the oldest living things known to man. They offer shelter, wood for the fire, they keep us company and, in some cases, they are a real divinity, living bridges towards the boundless past of our planet. Treeline, the new film produced by Patagonia, celebrates the forests from which our species has always depended on, and around which some skiers and snowboarders have based their lives. A journey through the sacred cypress trees of Japan, the imposing red cedars of British Columbia and the ancient pines of Nevada. A film that combines the joy of freeriding with environmental sensitivity.

APO SNOWBOARDS IS BACK Behind this news there’s the dream of a man, Eric Bobrowicz, better known as Bob, who has done everything possible to bring the historic French brand back to life. The resurrection of APO passes through the hard. work of this former shaper who began his career at Rossignol and founded the White Doctor brand. Unfortunately, Bob and his passion left us last summer but Glisshop, who shared his enthusiasm from day one, decided to continue this adventure and is proud to present andexclusively distribute four new models.

Before joining VF in 2012, as Napapijri Vice President Emea, he worked for companies such as Nike, Ralph Lauren and P&G.

ROXY FOR PREVENTION WITH KEEP A BREAST An important collab for an equally important goal: breast cancer prevention. Since its birth Roxy supports women’s emancipation helping women of all ages and cultures in all their adventures and it is not surprising that it has chosen as a partner an association attentive to such an important topic. Keep A Breast is a non-profit organization that takes care of supporting and sensitizing women all over the world on this delicate issue.

(long lasting water repellent) which increases the anti-humidity protection preventing the saturation of the fabric due to snow and icy rain. The bust lining uses a brushed polyester net with breathable performance, while the mesh lining of the arms easily slides on the lower layers for optimal freedom of movement. The 2-point adjustable hood is compatible with the helmet and is fitted with a laminated visor for optimal visibility; the collar protects face and neck from gusts of frozen snow. The low-profile under-sleeve zipped openings quickly release heat when you sweat uphill, while the fully adjustable anti-snow skirt (with a wraparound loop that can be fixed to all the pants of the Patagonia Snow line) leaves cold air and drafts outside.

Patagonia Snow line production, made of recycled materials, has increased by 23% this year: the brand is now able to offer a complete range of clothing promoting waste reduction. Every snow item is resistant and repairable, made of recycled materials (whenever possible!), pre-consumption and post-consumption waste. Already last winter, Patagonia snow garments used Gore-Tex Pro fabric: one of the first important steps towards the realization of a 100% sustainable Snow line. In fact, for a long time now the company has been committed to working with its partners not only to develop technical fabrics that offer the best performance, but also to adopt models using sector’s recycled materials.

Other details include a water-resistant coating zip with ultra-flat construction to reduce weight and volume, adjustable closure cords in the hood and hem, built-in Recco reflector for avalanche rescue and highly articulated fit for dynamic movements. The pockets include: two hand warmers, one on the chest with a small pocket for storing a multimedia device and equipped with a radio/ear cable loop, a small pocket on the forearm where to put the skipass and two inside pockets (one applied and another one zipped).

The Californian brand designers took the Powder Bowl line and improved it. It has not been reinvented and nothing was added where it was not necessary, they just simplified the lines, making the garments more resistant and easier to repair. The entire collection is made of robust 2-layer Gore-Tex fabric in ultra-resistant 100% recycled polyester: it offers a solid waterproof/breathable and long-lasting wind protection that allows you to tackle even the worst storms, combined with a exceptional comfort in all conditions. In addition to recycled polyester, also plastic bottles has been used: this transition to recycled fabrics reduces our dependence to oil for producing new materials and helps to prevent waste from going to landfill.

Patagonia once again sided with the planet, defending the pristine nature that is so important to us. And it is up to us now do not forget that one’s effort is not enough but what we need is the joint efforts of everyone.

STEP IN BINDINGS

GET FAST OR DIE STRAPPING PICS: DANIEL BERNSTÅL TXT: MATTEO ROSSATO

The debut of Burton’s Step On has brought back the spotlight on the binding business and the eternal gap between supporters and detractors of the fast vinding system. For the younger or less informed, let’s take a brief excursus and let’s sum up the story of the Step In.

hear no more talk about them until 2014, when K2 reintroduced the Kwicker as a backcountry binding and Burton filed a patent for what would later become the Step On. The purpose of this article is not to tell a story, but to illustrate the various technologies of more or less quick bindings available for this winter and their main features, so let’s skip to 2018. At the moment there are three macro families on the market: Burton that makes a category apart with the Step On, K2 and Nitro with the Clicker system and in the end the Rear Entry bindings of Flow, K2 and SP: let’s analyze them one at a time.

The idea of a fast binding, which allows riders to strap in at skier’s speed, has its roots in the late 90s. It was in the first half of that decade that saw the first Step Ins appearing on the shelves of the shops, and shortly those were filled with bunch of exotic proposals from many important brands: K2, Switch, Vans, Drake, Burton and many others. With the advent of the new millennium, however, in a very short amount of time the Step In completely disappeared from the market. The reasons are many and unclear: some said it did not work properly, some others found them too expensive, others not too functional, but that beng said we will

The Burton Step On proprietary system features a classic chassis with base and highback but without straps. The special Step In boots are equipped with a hook on the heel and two plugs on the sides of the sole: with a movement that first locks the rear hook 26

and then the front ones, the boot is stuck and released through a special lever on the outside of the basepad. A sort of ankle strap is integrated into the boot and a Boa System adjust the fit, just like the ankle strap would do.

ding is normally configured with chassis, ankle and toe straps: the boot goes in from the rear side, by collapsing the highback. This system requires some bending for strapping in, but the operation is much faster and easier. The three K2, Flow and SP systems share the same opening system, ruled by a rear lever. Pulling it, the highback breaks down and you can enter with the boot from behind without having to fully open the straps. The opening system and the straps discriminate the various solutions: Flow uses mostly a single band called Powerstrap (although in Hybrid, Ankle and Toe strap models are separated), while both K2 and SP use classic straps. SP is also equipped with Auto.Rs System that automatically opens the ratchet of the strap when lowering the highback: this allows a smoother entry with consequent less waste of time.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move onto the Clicker, which is the updated and improved version of the old plate system. It works quite similar to ski bindings, except for the anchor points which are positioned under the sole. The hooking is done by coupling the front hook, then lowering the heel the boot is interlocked by a spring system. At the side of the plate thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the release lever that opens the hook, releasing the boot. The support is fully integrated in the boot in this case. Then there is the Rear Entry category,which is the compromise between the classic binding and the Step In. In this case the bin-

K2 gets the same result with the Cinch System, a linkage that 27

Surely the Clicker is an excellent binding for hardpack warriors, as well as the Step On is a solution that balances mobility and comfort for an all mountain and freestyle use; If you really can’t relate with a strapless binding or you cant’ do without you favourite classic boot, the Rear Entry is the best and most versatile compromise.

raises a part of the chassis on which the ankle strap is fixed, increasing the fit space. All three systems require the adjustment of the straps for an optimal fit with every type of boot: K2 even uses fully openable straps as in standard bindings, like SP, but only in Multientry models. If you’ve read till this point to get a virdict on what is the best solution, you wasted your time. This is because each of the solutions has its pros and cons and it works in their own context. Surely the Clicker is an excellent binding for hardpack warriors, as well as the Step On is a solution that balances mobility and comfort for an all mountain and freestyle use; If you really can’t relate with a strapless binding or you cant’ do without you favourite classic boot, the Rear Entry is the best and most versatile compromise, with models ranging from beginners to hardcore freestylers. 28

There was a time where core brands were welcomed as breath of fresh air in a business driven by established names and big corporates. Time flew by and now an established company named Nidecker not only became a platform for independent companies, but it’s also bringing snowboarding back to its roots, becoming one of the main and more respected actors in the global snowboarding business. We had a brief talk with Sam Mc Mahon who told us about past, present and future of the Swiss brand with the white cross.

Hi Sam: Nidecker is so deeply rooted into the snow riding (not only snowboarding) that I guess a brief history lesson is more than deserved… It’s a very long history, so I’ll keep it brief! The original company was actually founded back in 1887 and made wooden wheels. In 1912 they started making skis, so they had a long time to

perfect techniques until they produced their first line of snowboards in ‘84. The Nidecker Group is now in its fifth generation of family ownership and is made up of Nidecker, YES, Jones, Now and Flow. Recently the Nidecker family also took on the LPS Group: Rome, Bataleon, Lobster and Switchback. 30

Which were the main technological highlights of Nidecker during its whole history since it started doing snow related equipment? We know they introduced quite a lot of them during the years. There are so many that it would be hard to choose one! The first “carving” boards back in the eighties, the first asymmetrical board in the nineties, the 4x2 insert system, mixed cap and sandwich construction, using hemp fiber instead of glassfibre… Throughout the brand’s whole history it has recognised the importance of technology alongside the culture, and how the two are always influencing each other.

snowsurf movement out there, where turns are driven through the back foot, just like in the water. He brought this idea back to Europe and it has influenced the whole line to varying degrees, especially our “Shape By TK” snowsurf quiver. The idea of carving never really went away - turning is always the first thing you learn and “carving” is just the perfected version of that - but it’s so cool that an emphasis on good technique has returned to snowboarding, rather than just sliding up to different park features. Talking about Carving, we cannot fail to mention the Slice ‘n’ Dice series that just released the fourth episode from Japan. What’s the goal of this innovative way to tell snowboarding? We wanted to show that the kind of riding most people do with their friends is just as important you just need a lift pass and a board. Almost everything in the-

What lead the Nideckers to get back their original brand to its roots and push the whole “new carving movement”? Thierry Kunz (Nidecker Brand Manager) is as much into surfing as he is riding, and whilst in Japan he noticed the 32

The riders - Dave Crozier and Lewis Sonvico - are both snowboard instructors, so they deal with “real” snowboarders all the time. They get it. Is Carving the new freestyle? Or do you think it’s just snowboarding that’s growing up? The beauty of snowboarding is that it’s such a multi-faceted thing. These days there are as many types of snowboarding as riders. Even within carving there are many styles: the Slice ’n’ Dice guys are fairly aggressive, using a lot of elbows, whilst the Japanese snowsurf style is very elegant, almost like calligraphy. While we were in Japan last year we shot a mini-documentary about the contrast we saw - it should come out early in the new year.

Any Nidecker highlights for the current winter? Projects, maybe another new company in the group? ( just joking) Maybe, the Nidecker brothers (Henri, Xavier and Cédric) are focusing on the existing portfolio - you never know what the future will bring but we all definitely believe in snowboarding. At Nidecker we’re already working on some cool new tech for next season. From the media side of things, I’ll be getting out there and shooting as much as possible in order to keep telling snowboarding’s story, but of course there’ll be some more carving!

EMILIANO LAUZI TXT & PIC: DENIS PICCOLO

Hi Emiliano, how was your first season in the Drake team? A crazy first season! From the beginning I felt great, gear is excellent and representing an Italian company in the world is amazing

And which was your most epic day instead? Some epic powder days but I won’t say where! Is there any movie o video part that hyped you this year? My favorite one is Kamikazu, photography, spots, snow conditions, shooting and of course riding are incredible!

Tell us something about yourself. I was born and raised in Milan, and spent several holiday time on the mountains with my parents. My mother is a ski mountaineer and she passed down to me the love for the mountains! The first time I tried to snowboard I was 10, and my mother did with me! I suddendly stopped playing soccer and never looked back.

You’ve filmed for Sequence Movie Zero, any comments on your part? Let’s say that being the first season I really focus on backcountry filming, I’m quite satisfied. It’s not easy and filming a really cool video part requires a lot more of time and I couldn’t land several tricks, but this winter I’m even more hyped to do that again.

Last winter you split your time between contests and filming. Which is the difference and what do you love to do most? I love to compete and feel the pressure that push me to do better. But also filming has its own charm, even if it’s less nerve wrecking than the contests, where you feel the pressure even on training because you want to nail the perfect run! Filming is more about creating a whole project: get a good video part is really hard and it takes a lot of time, but as you see the final result, it’s awesome!

How do you think you’re going to manage your winter next year? Next year I will certainly compete as much as possible, but I will also focus more on filming! I will be based between Seiser Alm and Cervinia, and when the conditions are good, I will sure be filming some backcountry jumps! What about your current setup? I ride the Drake Df Team 154, which is a classic camber and really reactive board, with Drake Radar bindings and Northwave Decade boots. A perfect setup!

What was your best result in a contest last year? I did fourth in the Slopestyle world cup at Seiser Alm.

LAAX ROOTS: RETO POLTERA TXT : MATTEO ROSSATO PIC: M.VIKKISK

Reto Poltera does not hold a shovel on any given day, but Laax is the best freestyle resort in the world also thanks to him. His firm belief into freestyle lifestyle brought the Swiss resort on the top of the charts and in the dreams of every snowboarder. With Laax Open 2019 approaching, we met with this renaissance man and talked about the past, the present and the future of Laax.

Still talking about bringing freestyle lifestyle outside of the park boundaries, you mentioned about improving the freestyle lifestyle in the summertime here in Laax: can you tell us a bit more? Skateboarding shares the same importance of snowboarding in our roots. After becoming the best world winter freestyle resort, we want to grow further and become a 365 days a year freestyle resort. We already built a brand new bowl in Laax, but our project is way bigger: we want to build concrete transitions for rider of all levels, from the little kid to the grown ups and pro skaters. Also here, we want to bring the same philosophy of the snowpark: connected transitions like a concrete ocean, where you can experience the ultimate fun, flow and progress quicker than in a classic skatepark.

Hi Reto, after all those years, Laax always stays on the top, winning the best freestyle resort year after year, which is your secret recipe? In two words: Laax Roots. That’s where our culture comes from. We all come from skateboarding and surfing, and our deep passion and commitment for what we do here is our main secret. Laax freestyle philosophy trascends the park fences and rules the whole Laax life cycle. Can you tell me something more about that? What we do is 3500 years old: back then, Polynesians already surfed waves for pure fun, not to feed their kids, and they did it with their families. We simply took this philosophy into the mountain. Even the waves themself have something in common with mountain landscapes and park features. Look at their shape: the tables of the kickers reminds waves, or even the windlips which are naturally shaped by mother nature. Transition means progression, flow and fun. There’s no need to hit a 20 meters kicker, you can simply enjoy to ride the board and have fun with it, or slash it on the side: that’s why we shape every surface as a transition. We maximize the fun by shaping the whole park like an ocean with waves.

In less than a month it will be Laax Open time again: any highlights or juicy news to mention? Indeed, there are great news concerning the halfpipe competition. Nightfinals at 2.252 meters above sea level – the Crap Sogn Gion mountain with its GalaaxY, Satellite and Hangar will offer entertainment from 8 to 22 o’clock on that Saturday, January 19th. Cable cars are open as well as the lit-up freestyle slope P60 to shred into the valley after an action-packed day up on the hill. I am looking very forward to the event. “Open” time in Laax is always a thrilling, eventful time, for all of us, the crew, the guests, the partners, the media and of course the riders and artists. One week of snowboarding, music and culture. That’s lifestyle. 38

SHAPE ACADEMY

THE WORLD’S LARGEST SHAPER CREW BY SILVIA GALLIANI

maintain parks in the highest quality, because of the continuously growing demands in creativity and quality of both freestylers and their clients.

Since 2002, Young Mountain has been creating amazing freestyle playgrounds all over the Alps with their well-known brand QParks. The four founders are passionate snowboarders who, like it was normal back in the days, started to build their own features in the backcountry when they were young because of the lack of decent snowparks. With the drive of pure entrepreneurial spirit, they gained first hand experience in the shaping business and thought out their own picture of what modern skiing resorts have to offer to their guests beyond slopes. The vision of Young Mountain was born – a resort that offers safe and profound alternatives for an ever-growing lifestyle based on fun and action sports.

With all the knowledge and ideas in mind, they laid the foundation for the Shape Academy, a crew of dedicated professionals and a unique career prospect for winter sports enthusiasts with the chance to turn their passion into profession. “It’s definitely a very versatile job and you can learn a lot from more experienced people who have gathered experience in the shaping business over many years. You can combine working and shredding very well, too – and the best part about I is that you can create your own playground!”, Andi Stoll, park designer from Switzerland comments his job.

When building up Quality Snowparks, namely QParks, for a couple of prestigious resorts across the Alps, such as Dachstein, Montafon, Sölden, Lenzerheide, Kitzbühel, Gastein, and many more that followed, they soon had to face a growing challenge. There was a shortage of skilled and well-trained workforce that would be able to create and

Today, the Shape Academy has grown becoming the biggest institution for snow construction worldwide and counts more than 250 motivated members and instructors from over 20 different countries. 40

life. “It’s super fun to work with a crew that loves to shred as well, we ride together in the day and chill out together in the evenings. That creates a family feel, which makes this job even better”, Naomi MacFarlane, project manager from New Zealand describes her life up in the mountains. Pictures of the outdoor office show happy people living the dream of every winter sports lover. However, it is still an hard work that requires special demands on body and mind. But in the end, it’s the deep belief in a lifestyle that makes them endure even the hardest work and longest shifts in the snow. Some of the crew members come from IT jobs and sometimes you can even find former attorneys or bankers among their lines. “We say: the worst day on the mountain is better than the best day in an office!”, Szabolcs Bencze, shaper from Hungary explains. “I would recommend this job to everyone who likes nature, who doesn’t want to sit for eight hours a day in an office”, Simon Snidar, multimedia shaper from Slovenia approves the concept of the outdoor office. For others it’s the urge to make people happy what drives them in their unusual career. “The most gratifying moments of my work are tho-

Altogether, these crew members will build 124 playgrounds in five countries only in the 2018/19 winter and they will come in the form of QParks, Funslope and Funcross. According to their own demands in setting standards of the highest level in quality, the Shape Academy stands FOR PERFECT RIDES. However, what is hidden behind these smiles is hard work and for sure, it’s not up to everyone’s alley to stand against the harshest weather conditions and swing the shovels for hours when there is fresh snow. While their guests will face the park for powder, they have to dig out all the obstacles in order to have a ready setup for the day after when the last fluffy spots have been plowed by freeriders. But that’s what it takes and there are lots of rewarding moments. Being the first ones on the top in the morning and the last ones after the lifts have closed, they are always close to nature and enjoying those moments with like-minded people is not the worst thing to do with your 41

se when I see the happy faces of the people who enjoyed their day on the mountain”, Lorenzo Burelli, project manager in Italy smiles. As propagated on the website www.shape-academy.com, nearly everybody in the right condition can find his or her spot at the Shape Academy, no matter if you never hold a shaping tool in your hands or you’re already an experienced park builder or snowcat operator. Newbies will take their first steps in the shaping business as shaper or multimedia shaper; then, as you’ve gained some managing skills you can aspire to the head shaper position, which is the next step on the career ladder. Finally, once you’re well aware of the field work, you can become a park designer or project manager. For all of you who want to progress your grooming skills can do so by taking over the wheel or joystick of a PRINOTH BISON X, the snowcat of choice of the Shape Academy. So maybe you’re also among the ones who are tired of staring into screens answering one nonsense email after another and the snow business is calling. Applications are taken the whole year round online on www.shape-academy.com. 42

SNOWPARK

IN THE REIGN OF SEISER ALM BY MATTEO ROSSATO

Seiser Alm for the preparation of the Winter Olympic Games and the World Cup; Switzerland, Belgium, Russia, New Zealand and of course the Italian National Team, which has been based here for four years now as guests of the resort and part of the Casa Seiser Alm project. The teams chose Seiser Alm for the perfect maintenance of the park facilities, which in 2018 was elected as the best one in Italy for the fifth year in a row and was voted among the best 3 in the world at the World Ski Awards in KitzbĂźhel.

Seiser Alm resort is stuck on the largest mountain plateau in Europe, the Sciliar, in the middle of the Dolomites and enjoy long sunny days throughout the whole season. The view of the Rosengarten, with its characteristic rose gradient at sunset, makes this place truly unique and spectacular. The legend of King Laurin and his rose garden on the foothills of the Catinaccio feed the timeless charm of the plateau. But Seiser Alm also has another very specific meaning for the snowboarding community, hosting the largest snow park in South Tyrol with its 1.5 km of snopark where features of all sizes take place, from the easy line to the famous Pro Line.

The park features more than 70 obstacles divided into easy, medium and pro lines and hosts a fantastic wood line: 16 kickers (1-21 m), 32 rails and boxes, 1 secret stair set, 14 wood obstacles, 1 family fun line and more than 20 pro-run facilities. The website snowpark. seiseralm.it, and its instagram and facebook pages are continuously updated with the status of the setup, the results of the events, webcam and photo/video galleries.

Over the years, the Seiser Alm snow park has hosted famous events such as the TTR Garden of Roses, the Subject Schlern and still hosts contests and events of international importance, the last one was the FIS World Cup, valid for qualification for the Olympic Games, which will take place again from 22nd to 27th of January 2019. During the past seasons several national teams have been at 44

“My home resort, the place where I grew up and where I can shred with my friends.”

“Seiser Alm has been a partner of the Italian National Snowboard Freestyle team for four years now and we couldn’t be happier, because the setup and the quality of the features are able to host the major world events: not surprisingly, in January there will be the Slope Style World Cup for the third year in a row. We now consider it as a second home and, thanks to the commitment of all the shapers and marketing guys of Seiser Alm, it has now become the reference point for freestyle in Italy.”

Simon Gruber – Pro Rider “I really like Seiser Alm because it has a really nice flow to it. The jumps aren’t the biggest but built in a way that keeps it safe and some good airtime.” Fridtjof “Fridge” Sæther Tischendorf - Pro Rider “Many features, all shaped to perfection and certainly one of the best European parks.”

the team spirit and shoot some pictures with the riders: there were the marketing guys, the sales guys, the design department, Måns Hedberg, Halldor and Eiki Helgason. Imagine an almost empty resort with lots of snow, no snowpark but plenty of natural features to play with and ride with the pros. Ride, eat, sleep and repeat: that’s what we call a good plan. There were no people to amaze, sales meeting to attend, video premier and afterparties: everything was extremely laid back and miles away from the classic schedules of company guys or team riders, in the middle of nowhere, stuck on the mountains. Icying on the cake has been the skate session at the Vrbno pod Pradědem skatepark indoor miniramp, with Eiki earning full respect from the locals and the crew for his amazing skate skills. Everyone, starting from the company staff and the team riders, has been amazed by the unusual experience that brought everyone back to their early days on the board.

Horsefeathers started its journey in 1989 as an high school project in British Columbia, Canada, and by now it’s one of the big names in snowboarding gear thanks to quality made clothings and great ambassadors such as the Helgason brothers, Tyler Chorlton, Måns Hedberg and others. One of its main strenght is the tight crew working both behind the scenes and under the spotlight to bring the best gear on the shelves and out on the slopes, so it was no surprise when they decided to pack up for a company trip to Praděd, one of the most renowed resort in Czech Republic and the fifth higher peak of the country. The peculiarity of this old fashioned resort are the unique feel to get lost deep into the mountains, and the endless possibilities to have fun: tree runs, side hits and good snow till late season. The purpose of the trip was to have a good time together, keep up 46

“Praded is a really cool unique looking place, The trip was different from anything I’ve done so far, the main purpose was to make side hits and cruise all day so I was hyped. One of the chillest trips of all times!” – Halldor Helgason “Boom! Way out there we found Praded that brings back the old school version of the real time. Short trip with good people, lot of beers and snowboarding. It couldn’t been better” – Mans Hedberg “Praded trip was insane, good people, good snow, lots of fun hits, banked turns around every tree, good food, hot tub, sauna…” - Eiki Helgason 48

HOW TO: GETTING TO KNOW

ITW: GIULIA BOCCOLA PICS: MICKEY ROSS

After showing up at the Milano Montagna festival to present his new film “The Sky Piercer” where we can see him exploring the lands of New Zealand and specifically facing the steep climb to the top of Mount Cook, we had the opportunity to ask him a few questions about his career and his personal life. Known by everyone as the freeride legend, Xavier told us something about himself.

ch with nature, feel its power, its energy and I think I would never be able to live without this deep connection. I don’t do it just to feel good, but I do it because I need it. When did you start snowboarding? And when did you realize that freeride was so important to you? I started skiing when I was two years old, I grew up on skis and at the age of thirteen I started snowboarding, I remember that through snowboarding I discovered the pleasure of freeride, of going off-piste and I remember that I was fascinated by the greatness of the mountains that I saw in the distance and asked myself “how can I reach them?” Slowly I realized that I could and one day I was there. I think that everything I did with snowboarding, all the technique I learned from competitions, I was able to transport that in my way of facing big mountains.

Hi Xavier, first of all I would like to ask you what does the word Outdoor mean to you and how do you live it? Outdoor means nature to me, that’s the first thing that comes to my mind and I feel very lucky to be able to practice all these sports close to it. The more I grew up and the more I felt that all the traditional sports that took place in the stadiums didn’t had that magic that only nature can give. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to try different disciplines and I love practicing different activities such as paragliding, cycling, climbing, canyoning. I think it’s a good excuse to stay in tou-

Even your brothers Paul and Victor are pro snowboarders like you, how is your relationship with them? We are very close, 50

I spent many years with Paul during the competitions, riding and training together and Victor, who is much younger than me, has become very strong and it is very nice to have seen him evolve in snowboarding. Sometimes I’m a bit scared when we ride around together because I always see him pushing like crazy but I probably did the same some time ago. But seeing him from the outside is scary because I feel responsible for him, he’s my little brother and he’s following in my footsteps and I think it’s crazy to watch him riding. This year he will release his new video “Frozen Mind” where you can see him looking for a nice combination of freestyle in the glaciers and seracs and tracing beautiful lines in big mountains. I’ve never seen anyone mixing these two aspects together and I’m very proud of him. You’ve been a professional snowboarder for more than 25 years, how did you see snowboarding evolve in these years? There certainly has been a great evolution. In the 80s people used

to do crazy things breaking the barriers of society, but even in the same field of snowboarding they were really crazy years and in the following ones we moved on to freestyle. For me it was very frustrating that not all aspects of freeride were recognized, it was always placed in the background, even though snowboarding in fresh snow gave incomparable feelings; it is certainly less practical than skiing but it gives you a greater sense of freedom. Then, finally, in the past ten years things have changed and the splitboard has really taken off and I’m happy to see how many people have returned to their origins. What’s important is not to do extreme things, but to take your splitboard and get off the beaten track, away from the resorts. Snowboarding is changing a lot, especially in Europe where this discipline is coming back in vogue, I think there is an increasingly growing splitboard movement and it is very nice to see people so passionate about this sport. Can you tell me something about you How to series? How was

How do you live practicing such an extreme sport and having a daughter and a family at the same time? How do you find the right balance between these two aspects? That’s a very good question, my daughter is now thirteen years old and we did a lot of crazy things together, her mother is a mountaineer and when she was born we asked ourselves “ok, are we going to stop doing these things?” No! It felt wrong, because we are what we do and we are happy when we do it and it was important for us to convey this message to her When you are young, you just get up and go, you don’t care about others, if there is a powder day, you do not think about it twice, but then things change when you grow up and when you have a kid to take care of you become more diligent, you check better the conditions and think if it is better to go out that day or if it is better to go back another time.

the idea of this project born? I think the idea came up when I saw my daughter watching Instagram on her mobile. As an athlete I know very well that this is a very useful tool to share your passions and adventures. But it seemed a bit too simplistic, we often show only our selfies and how lucky we are and I did not want my daughter to do the same, I wanted her to learn something from this social media. So I started to think about it a lot and in addition too showing my travels, why not show what I had learned over the years? I wanted to pass on some of my knowledge, help people stay out there, open their minds, use the right equipment. What do you think about the fact that there are a lot of people doing freeride without the right safety equipment? I think that we need more information and through my series I also teach how to use the right safety equipment in case of avalanches, how to use a splitboard, how to read a map and plan the tour you want to do. It is a 360° series.

What would you like to teach to your daughter? I travel a lot with her and since she was a child, whether we were riding or not, I have always 52

tried to teach her to take the best from these sports, to connect with nature, to fall and accept the risk, instead of telling her simply “it’s dangerous. Don’t go”, I taught her to never be afraid to try. I can trust her 100%, there’s a very strong connection between the two of us. I play a dangerous sport and I always thought that I would never allow her to do freeride, but I changed my mind seeing her at ease and aware of her abilities. When we were young, we did not have the chance to ride around with a guide or know how snowboards and related safety equipment worked, I only learned that when I was eighteen, but nowadays children are like sponges, they learn and acquire a lot of information faster.

with your friends, the fun is guaranteed.

What is the place where you prefer to go riding with your daughter and your wife? We always ride in Verbier, it’s the right place for us, there you can make long or short rides. You can find the right conditions to get off a canal, riding in powder in the woods or on the glacier. It’s a wonderful place and we feel very lucky. Every place has something beautiful and if you go there with the right conditions and

Any new projects in mind? I’m putting all my energy into the How To series and it takes a lot of time, I’m working on new episodes, there will be sixteen in total, and I’d like to cover all the freeride topics. So I think that for the next two years I will be focused on this and in April I will be a father for the second time, so a new adventure is beginning for me.

Where do you see yourself in ten years? I’ll probably be surfing a wave or I’ll be climbing a wall in the mountains. I do not think I will still be a professional athlete, even if I thought the same ten years ago. With time passing by you understand that the beauty of this sport is not only winning competitions, but it is also traveling, doing new experiences and being able to share them. The board is just a tool to evolve in life. I believe that at every age there is something beautiful to do and something new to discover.

tain, the goal was obviously to win the prize, which unfortunately did not happen, but the broader and long-term focus was to make everyone happy about the final product. The understanding of the behavior of the athlete who is in front of the camera is fundamental, we had all of this and it is our strength. We worked discussing every thing, giving each other ideas and telling each other what we liked and disliked”.

Like every year, also in 2018 the Click On The Mountain event has brought together the best film-makers and photographers of the freeride scene. An Italian team that knew the “home” habits could not be missing, therefore, the well-run ambassador of the event Simon Gruber, Marco Grigis and Roberto Bragotto, found themselves again in Courmayeur ready for a week of powder. This time with a new filmer. “New” so to speak: Kevin Kok, who had already participated last year in a different team, is the former teammate, friend and partner of the adventures of Marchino and Simon from a long time. Twenty-six years and a big smile, the young videomaker competed in the World Cup with Simon and Marchino, but then find himself following a new passion that led him to work on the snow but no longer as an athlete: today Kevin is on the opposite side of the camera, and he tells us something about it.

In the week in Courmayeur there were two highlights to remember: the boys wanted a shot in which Simon jumps from a serac, in the middle of the Mont Blanc glacier. A really intense day, in an equally intense week, where you have to follow the natural weather conditions, that are not always in your favor, and the tight schedule of a complex and tiring contest both from a mental and physical point of view. They spent hours in the middle of the crevasses going up and down on foot, taking care not to ruin the snow, leaving the perfect traces, committing themselves to create the perfect setting that would fit both the video and Roby’s photos.

Of course we are not talking about an unknown subject to him: the idea of this team was born many years ago with the crew HWCLS, which between Go-Pros and a novice Kevin, has realized some fun and cutting-edge videos. Seeing those videos you wanted to be with them because there was so much friendship and a great desire to snowboard together, having fun and at the same time using a good technique. Go behind the camera and film what you’ve always done as an athlete, is at the same time very easy and very difficult. “It’s important to have empathy,” Kevin says. “You know exactly what you want and how you want to accomplish that, but you’re also aware of the fact that the athlete first must be happy with his action and with the shot, and in general how it all comes out. For Click on The Moun-

“When Simon stomped the trick, we exploded. We brought the shot home, we did it! It seems a small thing, but it was such a high emotional moment that changed the fate of the day and at that point the competition went into the background. My work is complex, the level is high and it is not obvious to bring home the necessary material. Sometimes it happens to go home with nothing in hand, for a thousand reasons, first of all the weather and the snow that can not be decided or 100% forecasted. That moment, was Simon’s last possible 57

more adults, certainly not elderly! Kevin laughed, and at that moment while we were on the phone, his car went off on the highway. But he didn’t seem to care and wanted to continue the interview! He told me that is a bit like that: “after all it is the truth, we can not do some tricks in the park anymore, it is obvious that the body responds differently when you are 17 years old rather than 26. We’re getting older but we’re also going back to the origins. We all started snowboarding because we liked the contact with the mountains, with nature. Then our life as athletes led us to concentrate more on artificial structures and on making perfect technical gestures. Now we’re going back a bit to that moment when the thing that makes you feel better in the world is to be on the top, or in the middle of a wood, with that muffled silence all around you.”

attempt. We had managed to do something that, after all that effort, seemed almost impossible and sharing this moment with them was the primary satisfaction. After that we went down immediately, and those last fresh curves were the most beautiful emotion of the day.” Another important moment was the creation of the soundtrack. Marco Grigis, as well as being a good snowboarder, is also an excellent musician. It seems like he is able to play any instrument that you give him, in his own way, like a wandering genius. In short, while Kevin was in front of the computer editing the video, he appeared with the violin in his hand and began to play. They recorded the piece, with the addition of a guitar (always played by Marchino), and it was a blast. The feeling from outside, watching the video, is as if there had been a violinist in the mountains with them who improvised a soundtrack with the notes following the moments of suspense, the stomp, the slashings in fresh snow and the relaxed moments of friendship and joy, which culminate with Simon’s scream after that huge fs 360 from the serac.

“We all started snowboarding because we liked the contact with the mountains, with nature. Then our life as athletes led us to concentrate more on artificial structures and on making perfect technical gestures. Now we’re going back a bit to that moment when the thing that makes you feel better in the world is to be on the top, or in the middle of a wood, with that muffled silence all around you.”

I have to ask a pungent question, perhaps uncomfortable but certainly realistic: I asked Kevin if this fact of having gone from competing together in the World Cup of freestyle, meaning a more competitive and so to speak more messy situation, to filming together in a serious way, in a freeride and backcountry situation, makes him feel a bit is if they were getting older all together. Which is to be understood as a beautiful thing, of course, and within the limits of becoming 58

That Victor De Le Rue would have become one of the most creative and powerful snowboarders on the planet is something that we could imagine. Raised in the French Pyrenees with three older brothers and one sister all snowboarders, it was inevitable that Victor would fall in love with the same passion. Everyone knows that Victor is the younger brother of mountain legend Xavier De Le Rue and has adopted his own bold approach to snow, to which he has added a more modern touch, a freestyle touch. Victor starts competing in boardercross and freestyle contests until he becomes a champion in France. Later he decided to put aside the competitions and concentrate on the essence of snowboarding, travel, experiences and shooting. He has done several video parts in famous movies such as Dopamine, Heavy Mental, Origins and Frozen Mind. We certainly were not the first to find out that he is a complete rider, freeriding, street or freestyle, he doesn’t care. He imposes his style and his riding in every discipline. Three of our closest photographers last winter worked together with Victor during different trips, Silvano Zeiter, Matt Georges and Darcy Bacha. They will show us Victor through their eyes and through their lenses.

How did you meet Victor? I think I met him at the Absinthe premiere of Dopamine for the first time and then we traveled through Europe with the movie. It was wild. What kind of guy is he? He’s attentive, funny and smart. A cheeky little shit at times and obviously crazy as fuck. Good dude for sure! What do you like about his riding style? Victor’s insanely talented and his style is aggressive in a good way yet very smooth and steady. His main strength and his main weakness. I doubt the dude has

How did you meet Victor? The first time we shot together was in the French Pyrenees, he was 13 years old and already very talented. His two older brothers, Polo and Xavier, were already a bit famous in the snow industry, but mostly for Boarder Cross. What kind of guy is he? He has a weird accent from the Pyrenees. He is nice, charge a lot on his snowboard, likes to scream “yihaaaaa” when he lands a trick because he is happy, likes to camp and explore the mountains! What do you like about his riding style? I wouldn’t say he has the smoothest style, he is definitely not a lil’ cat like Gigi, Arthur Longo or Nico Mueller. He is more like a strong man with strong legs. I also like this kind

Toni Kerkalä was born in the Finnish town of Jeyväskylä, and spent his childhood riding the shred stick after randomly falling in love with it through TV. After getting his first board, he kept improving until becoming one of the more productive urban shredders in Europe. Toni rides for Salomon and ThirtyTwo Thirtytwo and his signature technical style shines in every video part. His team manager Marco Morandi got him in touch with us after the focus premier in Milan, so take a seat and enjoy some Toni thoughts.

What do you think about Italian soccer fever? I love it. So many hand movements during a match makes me smile. I can’t imagine how many pints you guys knock down accidentally during a game! Focus showed us all your incredible street skills but we also saw great stuff on backcountry jumps. Is something you want to do more in the future? Oh thanks! Yeah, I’ve been into backcountry riding last years. I started doing some late spring trips to Riksgränsen and northern Finland/Sweden/Norway. It’s been fun and I’ve been trying to bring my own kind of riding in that terrain. I really like it cause I’ve been doing street stuff so long already and I feel that I have a lot to learn and to give for the bc stuff. So really wanna make that to be my next goal. Film more in the nature.

Toni, you’ve been in Milan for the Focus premier few weeks ago, what do you think of the Italian fashion capital? I liked it at a lot! Milan’s audience was the loudest of the tour and I’m very thankful for that! But Italian style of car parking is the sickest!

Finland is quite flat with small hills, how was your first approach with the mighty Alps? I need to get used to the elevation first a bit since I live +10m of sea level. But it’s nice! Mountains are big always. Kinda scary but always so nice and there’s always enough snow to shred.

What about the Milan FC jersey you wore that night? Are you a soccer fan? I always wanna bring some random clothes home when I’m on trips. So, we were skateboarding and I saw a random fan shop at the corner of the plaza. I skated there to see what they have since I didn’t have any clean shirts left for the night. They had this sick black and red AC MILAN shirt there. I got it for 20€, went back super hyped to the plaza and Jhonny was shaking his head. Now I know he is an Inter fan.

What’s next in snowboarding in your opinion? Seems like freeriding is back and it’s taking over the street scene. Yeah I feel you. I have the same vibe in

started snowboarding in our backyard and got hooked straight away. Then I bought a season pass to a local ski-resort and went there after school by bus everyday. In addiction I love going outdoors, shooting photos and video.

Your riding is both technical and creative; which is the most important aspect for you? I love to see creative stuff. That’s the best if someone can bring something new in snowboarding.

What if snowboarding wouldn’t hook you up when you was a kid? Hard to say cause snowboarding has showed me a way of living. I was into mathematics and physics when I was younger so maybe I would still be studying some crazy physics stuff in university.

You traveled a lot last winter. Where have you been and which country has impressed you the most? Italy, Japan and Canada. I went to Japan for first time and fell in love. It was so sick. I really would like to go back there again this year and learn more! It was so fun and kinda the approach is the same than in filming streets.

Contests and filming represent the soul of snowboarding? Or where do you think it reveals the most? Sounds cliche as fuck but whatever makes you feel good with your snowboard just keep doing it and enjoy. For me it’s just the fact that I just get hyped of whatever I do with it.

What are your plans for the upcoming winter? I’m doing the X-Games Real Snow video contest with Marco Morandi and after that some more serious projects! It’s gonna be an exciting winter for sure.

Which is your current setup from head to toe? I ride a 155 Huck Knife board and District bindings. 32 TM3 is my boot choice.

Tell us something about Toni we don’t know yet.. I live in Helsinki, Finland with my girlfriend Anitta and 2 dogs, Ben and Bella. I was born in a little town of 5000 people called Tikkakoski and I

Where we will see Toni in the future? More freeriding. Maybe people are going to call me Big Mountain Toni someday!

Soft as an acronym for “sense of feeling things”, but also soft in its most literal meaning. These are the feelings that the new movie by Kris Ludi and Christian Haller evoke and that describe very well the type of riding that they want to share with us. A soft blanket of snow covering an almost unknown rural Japan declined in teal and orange. Soft takes us on a journey to the end of the world that has to be explored with a board at our feet. How and when was the Soft project born? We actually never intended on doing another movie after “GLUE”. We were looking for a special mini-piece to create, therefore went to Japan two winters ago. Since the whole thing didn’t turn out the way we hoped for, we knew that’s not it - so we talked ourselves into adding more ideas, segments and time to eventually create “soft”. How was the collaboration and synergy between you and Christian Haller born? It came step by step. We’ve been friends for a good while and at some point started working together - “Memoires Memoires” was our first common piece and from there We started to see the potential in each other - for me, he is not just a snowboarder, rather than a creative thinking person that uses a snowboard to express certain things.

DAVID DJITE BY SILVANO ZEITER

What is Christian’s role in the movie? Well, first of all he’s a rider. But more than that, he produces, creates the whole ideas with me and gives very detailed feedback and inputs to pretty much every aspect in the process of making the film. Tell me something about the chromatic choice of the shots. They are incredible. I think that compliment goes to our colorist Yves Vallaster. He’s a top notch feature film colorist that we were lucky enough to work with. Together with him I tried to apply the matching color-feel to the existing mood of the segment. In the video there’s a very high quality sound design, can you explain me the involvement of these professionals in a snowboard video? There’s actually just sound design in the first segment/intro and one or two bits in the rest of the film. Glad you like that though, it’s thanks to the professional help at the JingleJungle Studio in Zurich. I really loved how you searched for the essence of snowboard in the movie, without trying to look for extreme tricks. What do you think about it? With extreme tricks, you can only so capture one feeling of snow-

boarding, which is pure adrenaline. We tried to cover that feeling in one segment of the film, but there’s more to snowboarding than that. In the video there are parts in which snowboard is shown as a crew sport and others where it’s shown as an individual sport. Tell me about this choice and this different point of view. Basically the whole film is there to showcase the different aspects of snowboarding. It, as you describe, can be the fun day on the mountain with your best friends, only to share joy and not care about performance. But there’s also moments where you like to ride for yourself, enjoy simple flow, or as in a trick oriented way, challenge your inner self. Where do you find inspiration for your work and your style? Considering the inspiration for work, it mostly comes from what one does experience and by what people and stories one is surrounded. In this specific project, it was definitely Christian and my lifelong interest in snowboarding. Considering style, I get influenced by contemporary things, like photography, ideas, artbooks, etc. Why the name Soft? Soft are the initials for “sense of feeling things”, which

COLIN FREI BY SILVANO ZEITER

is the actual title of the film. We loved the idea to play with this, since “sense of feeling things” refers so much to the whole idea the film is supposed to express. On the other hand “sense of feeling things” is just too long to really remember, and soft as an abbreviation still stands for the same kind of mood and feel. Did you want to communicate something with this video or were you just looking for the essence of aesthetics? We wanted to show the variety of feelings and aspects that snowboarding can give - every segment stands for a certain aspect. The aesthetics are just the proper way to carry them as close as possible to the viewer. How much did having an action rider like Stephan Maurer filming made the difference? It’s definitely worth a lot to have the best people working with you - Stephan is a unique talent in that sense. I think it was a heavy influence in “GLUE”, “soft” is not that follow-cam oriented anymore, but still, in the right moment we pulled off great shots together that add that bit of extra. Do you have any other projects for the upcoming winter? To be honest, I don’t really think I’ll do another project that involves snowboarding too soon. But we’ll se what the future brings!

LAST WORD TXT: SEQUENCE CREW PIC: SILVANO ZEITER

Snowboardig is better with friends: that’s true. But have you ever spent a day alone with your board and thoughts? Very often they say - and it is certainly correct - that friends push you to do more. But let’s say that on a certain day you want to take it easier and chill: slowly wakeup, have breakfast, get ready and go. It’s just you, the mountain, the board. It is a truly enlightening experience, which tests your self esteem. Because when you are alone, there is no crew to hide in, there are no friends who are always ready to hype you; but at the same time, when you are alone, there is no one who can distract you from your personal goals, nobody to wait for or chase. But more than anything, when you are alone you can talk to yourself and discover many aspects of your personality that you don’t even know because the most of the time we are connected with someone, both physically or digitally .The famous director Bernardo Bertolucci once said that solitude can be a tremendous condemnation or a marvellous conquest: we just say to take some time for yourself and enjoy the silence, the sound of the snow under the sole and Mother Nature’s voice.

Areaeffe grows along the length of the Grimod piste over an area of 20.000 sqm with a length of 600 meters; it welcomes structures of all levels, from beginners to the most experts and demanding. The structure is maintained in a manic way, shaped and groomed each morning for the joy of snowboarders and freestyle skiers. An easy zone, entirely dedicated to the beginners, allows a safe approach to the world of the freestyle: sequences of funbox, railboxs satisfy the beginners in freestyle. Kickers, funboxes, rails of all types “fill”, instead, intermediate and expert lines. Located at 2200m, the snowpark is reachable from the center of Aosta in about 30 minutes (gondola + liasion + cable car): not bad!
