The World Snowboard Tour are ramping up for another season of hyper-progressive contest shredding, and to celebrate the new season of events have teamed up with Nitro Snowboards and renowned artist Mike Parillo to produce this limited edition steed. We have two to be won – get involved…

This 156 is based on Nitro’s popular T1.5, which is a “high end park board that suits every rider trying to progress and who one day might reach for the World Tour Trophy.” It’s basically the perfect kind of stick for anyone wanting to chuck freestyle moves anywhere on the mountain, and it’s topped off by artwork from Parillo that is intended to portray “the emotion that comes with winning the trophy.”

“But how do I win this,” we hear you cry. Just answer the question below and we’ll pick two correct entries at random and ship the board their way. Due to shipping costs, this competition is only open to people with an address in Europe. Sorry, citizens of the rest of the world.

With the first season openings going down this very moment, it’s about time to check if your good ol’ shred gear from last year is ready for another round or retirement in a second hand store or on the fleamarket.

Because our good friends at Völkl were generous enough to give us on of their brand new Vice SQD snowboards and a pair of Fastec Choice Alu bindings. The Vice SQD is an eco-friendly twin rocker with Shock Absorber and Premium Carbon Weave, to make sure you destroy everything in the park with ease. The lightweight construction of the Fastec Choice will even enhance that, plus the rear entry makes it super easy to handle.

While the winter got us in full grip, our buddies at Horsefeathers were feeling very generous and decided to wrap two of our users in some brand new outerwear to enjoy the mountains with.

One lucky guy will have the pleasure of not only staying super comfy and warm in the technical Regor pant and Dorado jacket with 10/15k waterproofness/breathability and fully sealed seams, but also look super stylish, just like Bavarian gigolo Michi Zirngibl.

And the ladies can be happy as well, because for them we got a Proxima jacket and Avior pants combo up for grabs, which is from the Horsefeathers Diamonds line as well.

To get yourself a new functional look on the mountain, simply answer the question below!

Proxima jacket & Avior pants

Aussie clobber could well be yours.

Strewth, Aussie outerwear mob 3CS have dressed up the Nitro ‘Swindle’ with their ‘Vader’ jacket! We’ve got the board and jacket up for grabs. 3CS have even thrown a ‘Squirrel Sac’ in for good measure.

Nitro’s mightier than the sword Railkiller edge gives the rider confidence to take on any banister while the Scratch & Rip base technology on the Swindle allows all you rail warriors to show off your battle scars. To top it all off the Swindle’s been wrapped up super snug with 3CS’s Vader jacket graphic. A limited edition combo that was actually only launched in the Southern Hemisphere, the home of 3CS, and only made it to Europe three times – so you’re guaranteed to be the only one rocking this baby on the mountains…

If you’d fancy that, just answer the following question for your chance to win.
