    • Rising from 800m to 3300m high, Les Arcs/Bourg St Maurice is located at the heart of the Haute Tarentaise valley and boasts one of the biggest snowboarding domains in Europe. This resort was one of the first to back snowboarding with the famous Apocalypse videos filmed there in 1983 and 1985, setting the scene for the adventures of a group of skiers, monoskiers, telemarkers and whose hero was the pioneering French snowboarder Régis Rolland on a swallowtail snowboard.

    • Outerwear with a distinctive street styling has become increasingly popular of late. After all, us snowboarders usually wanna look more like badass homeboys than bearded mountaineers. The L1 Generals pant (and whole range, come to mention it) lives by this philosophy, with its baggy jeaned steeze disguising on-the-hill functionality: 10k waterproof/breathable fabric, an array of pockets, inner and outer leg vents and the clever pass pocket with glove stash flap serve to make your shredding happy, whilst the cut and look ensure your steeze is tight.

    • Yep, that’s right. The Triumph jacket is back for its second season and rightly so. The perfect jacket for cold weather riding, the Triumph is that breed of down jacket that has a fully waterproof exterior (20k/10k), taped seams, fixed down-filled hood… lock, stock, the bleedin’ lot. A bunch of pockets and vents are dotted all over the place and are easily accessible to the gloved hand, which really helps on those frigid mid-winter pow pow missions. It’s comfy, tough as heck and, surprisingly for a down jacket, not that bulky. Hell, wear it in springtime and shed a few kilos at the same time…

    • The mack-daddy boot from Burton, the SL-9 sets the benchmark for high-end performance. A bit of nuclear orange sole cushioning holds one of the biggest airbags seen to date so landing impact is reduced. Burton’s Speed Zone lacing is present here, as is an asymmetrical articulating cuff and Powershell reinforcement to give you optimised energy transfer and perfect board control. These shred sneakers are light, as comfortable as hell and would be well worth a nosey for all the discerning freestylists out there.
