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."

Audi Nines’21 - Snowboard Mixtape

The Snowboard squadron unleashed a barrage of tricks with impeccable precision at this year’s Audi Nines!

Step aboard the Audi Nines 2021 Snowboard Mixtape and get stoked for one of the most creative explorations the Audi Nines has ever witnessed. Stay tuned for more content coming your way in the upcoming weeks!

Disclaimer: We made a few spelling mistakes in the ski edit, chief among them being the misspelling of the one and only Henrik Harlaut, so it felt only fitting that we should continue to do so to the legends in the snowboard edit. From all of our overtired editors: Sorry Terje.

Volcom Snow - Euro Family Tape 2021

A word from the Volcom Stone European Family:

"Back in 1985, Nobel Literature Prize winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez wrote the novel “Love in the time of Cholera” to vast critical acclaim.

And what does this have to do with snowboarding?

Well, in February 2021 we’ve been “Snowboarding in the time of Covid” for nearly a year and the similarities and subplots one can draw from Marquez’ novel are abundant. Think along the lines of perseverance, depravity, 1st love, passion & finding new and creative ways to pursue said passion when borders close, lifts don’t open and curfews become the norm.

Those are just a fraction of the hurdles Volcom Family riders and Ambassadors across Europe have had to endure and conquer to be able to snowboard this winter. We truly appreciate their efforts

Here is a homage to our blue collar warriors, foot soldiers and unsung heroes."

Enjoy.
