After watching Mat’s video part in Absinthe Films‘ AfterForever, we decided to do a little interview, which turned into a long interview. Mat’s had some big changes in his life recently and it turned out that he has a lot to say. If you’re not a big fan of words, then scroll down for lots of pretty pictures […]
FeaturedInside The Swiss Knife with Fredi Kalbermatten
How is it possible that a legend like Fredi K never had a pro model till he got on Lib Tech? Seriously, someone must’ve been sleeping. Fredi can ride it all — from pow to pipe, as well as heavy lines and bulletproof ice. After over a decade of amazing video parts he’s got nothing […]
FeaturedMindset goes North by Arda Serce
They say that planning takes the fun out of traveling and that spontaneous adventures make better memories. Not for us, we thought, not for us… We wanted to spend a few weeks with eight people in a foreign country with the pressure to be productive. That’s why we planned quite a lot. Extensive spot maps […]
FeaturedDizin. Ski. Good. ایران†دیزین
Wenn man Freunden und Bekannten davon erzählt, zum Freeriden in den Iran zu reisen, gibt es meist drei verschiedene Arten von Reaktionen: “Im Iran? Da gibt’s doch gar keinen Schnee!”, “In den Iran? Du hast doch nen Vogel, in so ein Krisengebiet?” und “Iran? Wahnsinn, ich will dort auch hin, muss wunderschön sein!” Zu allen drei Meinungen hatten […]
FeaturedKeeping it Simple On Simplon Pass
Until recently, I’ve never had much appreciation for Napoleon’s ambitious conquests nearly 200 years ago. As it turns out, we have France’s most viscous midget to thank for blazing the trail to one of Europe’s best spots for free snowboarding. I’m referring to the Simplon Pass, which now serves as a major trade route, linking […]
FeaturedTwo Days in Saas-Fee
After Two great Days in Zermatt, we figured, why not check out the setup at neighboring Saas Fee? And this time, we brought along Mr. Mini DV, to document the good times. When the weather is this good, it’s not the time to be sitting in your rocking chair, watching Gilmore Girls. We found a perfectly […]
FeaturedA taste of Creamy with Lou Staub
Mindset is one of the last true video productions still standing in Switzerland. Rather than leaking everything online, they do it the old school way, saving up their bangers, and building a well crafted movie with it’s own aesthetic. So it’s not surprising that we were super excited to see the first images from Creamy. […]
FeaturedTwo Days in Zermatt Shred & Chill
If you really need to scratch that shred-itch during the off-season, Switzerland is a pretty decent place to be. Plenty of glaciers operate during the summer months and some of them come stacked with above average snow parks. Saas-Fee and Zermatt are amongst the favourites for anyone looking to get their pre-season shred on. Highly recommended, if […]
FeaturedThe Euro Tour Kick off your season with a proper hangover.
It’s September so I guess it’s officially not too early to be thinking obsessively about snowboarding. If you need your fix, then there’s no better way than an Absinthe premiere. AfterForever promises to be another classic and with eight dates to choose from in Switzerland, you really don’t have any excuse. 08 Sep. Zurich – Plaza […]
HappeningsBanking in Kaprun
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 […]
