2019 is history and so is the first edition of our Anti-Social Awards. Now that the new season is rolling, we’re excited to spend less time playing on our phones, and more time playing in the mountains. But before we get back to work on the photos and stories that will be the centerpiece of our 2020 magazines, we’re happy to share a few things that we found interesting about Swiss Snowboarding in December 2019.
