As we began to reflect back on the good times at the Laax Open, it became increasingly clear that our photographers captured way too many amazing moments for just one post. So we’ve broken up our “Best Of” into two galleries. First up, it’s all black and white with our favorite shots from Aaron Schwartz […]

The Laax Open always provides an opportunity for young talents to step into the spotlight. Florian Fischer is a promising sixteen year old talent from Solothurn who has really impressed us lately: 2nd place at the Winkelride Jam in Stans, 1st and 3rd places at the world rookie tour. We met up with Florian to […]

We decided to spend the day with him during slopestyle qualifications and got to learn a bit more about this 20 years old from Thun. As the current national champion in a pre-olympic year, […]

Rain, rain and more rain was all I saw, when I had checked the weather forecast for Stans for last Saturday. On that day, the main event of the 10th annual WINKELRIDE rail contest was scheduled. Rain + photo gear is a bad combination, so I was hesitant to make the trip to Stans. I can […]

The 3rd annual Volcom Banked Slalom took place on Kitzsteinhorn/Kaprun in Austria. What a great event to close the season: Not only a perfectly built course by the Kitz shaper crew but also finest spring shred conditions with bluebird, some pow and a decent park and pipe setup. Kitzsteinhorn is an ideal place for spring […]

The 2nd annual Transition Cup went down at Snowpark Laax this weekend. James Niederberger hosted yet another great session, this time over in the quarter pipe, where everyone gathered to shred, laugh, hike, bbq and drink beers. Unfortunately the weather did not seem to cooperate much at all and left us with heavy winds and high overcast, but […]

It was a perfect weekend!! The sun was shining, the park was in tip top shape, the beers were flowing, and the BBQ’s cooked up a storm, feeding all the empty bellies that needed that “oh sweet Valais cheese.” Like any contest you have winners and losers, but in this event everyone is treated […]
