FAMILY TIES & ENDLESS VIBES – PT.2 | SWATCH NINES 25

The vibes & camaraderie at Swatch Nines is unmatched.

The true essence of Swatch Nines was on full display last week as Schilthorn transformed into a welcoming, friendly playground for skiers and snowboarders. Family vibes and tight‑knit camaraderie took center stage, creating a pressure‑free space where riders cheered, encouraged, and pushed one another to new heights with jaw‑dropping tricks and slams. The whole mountain buzzed with passion—every stomped landing came with a hug and a high five, and it’s that stoke that keeps people coming back.

Part of these impeccable vibes are the the result of our design philosophy that puts the riders first. The breathtaking features are imagined and designed by riders, for riders, with the goal of creating a space where athletes feel comfortable, inspired, and free to express themselves without the pressure of competition.

Stay tuned – Pt. 3 coming on Monday!

METHOD MAG RECAP - Swatch Nines'24

We asked Method Mag to come on-site and showcase what's really happening at the Swatch Nines!

"We were asked to come to the Swatch Nines and report whatever snowboard related action was going on there in the lovely resort of Schilthorn. And what a crazy week it was! The weather kept us down in the village at first, so we improvised a little street session with Simon Gschaider and the hotel golf cart. A pretty unusual start for an event like this... But soon enough we got to go up and see the crazy set-up and the insane riding that went along with it. We even witnessed a couple world records for highest air on what they called a "perfect hip". It was more like a "giant hip" to us, but hey, they're the professional designers, not us. After a couple parties here and there, a quick visit to the James Bond museum (apparently the worst James Bond movie ever made), a nice dinner in a spinning restaurant at the top of the mountain, Chaeun's birthday, some epic snowboarding under a burning sun and maybe the rowdiest Field Report we did so far, we went home with some nice souvenirs and full SD cards. Thus, this edit."

Riders in order of appearance: Kaishu Hirano, Oyvind Kirkhus, Leilani Ettel, Fridtjof Tischendorf, Chaeun Lee, Patrick Hofmann, Nicolas Huber, Queralt Castellet, Simon Gschaider, Juho Laine, Brooke D’Hondt, Mia Brookes, Max Buri, Werni Stock, Vlad Khadrin, Marcus Kleveland & Valentino Guseli.

Interviewed party animals: Henry Jackson, Nicolas Huber, Juho Laine, Fridge, Kaishu Hirano, Fabio Sturm, Richard Bath, Warrick Martin, Juho Saastamonen and Queralt Castellet.
