The Snowpark Seiser Alm offers you endless runs and super long different lines in one of Italys longest snowparks (approx. 1500 mt).

With many obstacles (approx. 40 % of the setup are ready now) in the middle of a stunning panorama the Snowpark Seiser Alm has a lot of good news for this season:
- new artificial snow system for the upper park
– more obstacles
– news in the woodline
– upgrade medium kicker line (4 kicker)
– upgrade pro kicker line (3 kicker)

Also the park sponsors Quiksilver, Raiffeissen, GoPro and Fakieshop confirmed their partnership and are looking forward for a great season.

So what are you waiting for? Come on and join the opening weekend and a great party night in Telfen, hosted by the Panettone Bros.

I bet the writing ’10 years of ski movies in three and half minutes’ it’s already a good reason to watch this. Prepare to enjoy some insane freeskiing

This last weekend took place the 2012 edition of Enjoy the Glacier, the super cool and much awaited event that replaced le Mondial du Snowboard in Les 2 Alpes. Unfortunately the event couldn’t take place on Sunday due to bad weather and strong winds. But saturday was super sweet, both on the glacier and on the station – plus some fresh parties during the night.

Saturday took place one of the planned contests, a Jam session – you do a good trick , you get a gift immediately => good atmosphere, and a lot of gifts for every one attending the game! Celine, from the Santa Cruz team, won the best girl prize – a board! – with a 360 fs in to 50/50 grind to fakie – amazing! And Sully Monod won a board thanks to a combo backflip / frontflip.

As said, the event didn’t continue on Sunday, so there was a “little” party saturday night (Beer Pong + Avalanche!!). Nothing bad for a season opening, isn’t it?
Nothing less than our well known and damn fine photographer Yanis Ourabah was out there to capture the best moments of the weekend. Enjoy the atmosphere!

E’ arrivato il quinto film della Think Snow Crew, con le riprese della stagione 10/11, un po’ vecchie sì ma non per questo meno belle. Mezzora di video per tutti gli snowboarders e freeskiers!

World-class athletes soared the skies in perfect flying conditions.

Zurich was on fire yesterday, with the world’s leading freestyle sports athletes in Snowboard, Freeski, FMX and MTB Dirt Jump combining their powers to make history! More than 32.000 spectators witnessed a never seen before simultaneous “Crossover Discipline Run”.

Freeskiers flying directly behind snowboarders down the Big Air and in for a landing as FMX riders catapulted over them against the backdrop of MTB riders – THE ultimate sports explosion! It doesn’t get better than that…

Snowboarder Chas Guldemond (USA) and freeskier Henrik Harlaut (SWE) bagged the title in their discipline. Danny Torres (ESP) proved once more that he is a living fmx legend, winning the title in the fourth! consecutive year.
It was the event’s premiere of the MTB Dirt Jump.

Thousands requests of Facebook fans convinced the event organisers to finally grand the mountainbikers the “flight permission on Zurich’s Landiwiese”. And their persistence paid off with Martin Soederstroem (SWE) securing the first ever freestyle.champ MTB Dirt Jump title in the event’s 18-year history!

An unforgettable urban skiing adventure to the Murmansk Oblast.

The guys from Flatlight Films and the Nipwitz Crew explored this far north-west part of Russia, finding such an amazing, decaying, urban environment, going from abandoned military headquarters to the grey suburbs of the cities and industrial areas.

Every place remind us of revolution, politic, war, the rise and decline of the Russian Empire…and riders decided to celebrate this with some insane tricks.

Author’s statement give you the right feeling about the video:

“This remote corner of Russia is just a five hour drive away from our home but feels much more distant..”
