A bunch of Dakine’s band of shredders made their annual pilgrimage Mt Baker for the Legendary  Banked Slalom and they made a rad edit from their time there. If you don’t know what the LBS is, this will show you why each year dudes all the way from Johnnie Paxson and Curtis Ciszek to Jamie Lynn and Terje Haakonsen make a beeline for Baker. If you know what the LBS is, you’ll want to go there even more after checking this.

All this-is-just-some-marketing-clip comments aside, this is a great video of the Salomon team having fun shooting for their 13/14 catalog in La Parva, Chile. Considering the world’s climate zones and season changes this must have happened a while ago, like last August.

Featuring Jed Anderson, Josh Dirksen, Louif Paradis, Wolle Nyvelt, Taka Nakai, Chris Grenier, Bode Merrill, and Annie Boulanger.

This episode of Absinthe’s ‘behind the scenes of Resonance’ series focusses on Kass and Gigi hooking up with Wolle Nyvelt in a pow-laden Arlberg and sending it. Boom!

Arlberg not only has some of the finest afterski you could possibly hope for, it also has a host of kicker spots and when it’s loaded with pow there are few places better to shred. In this episode there’s a bit of heat with some locals, a bit of trick robbing argy barry between Kass and Gigi, and the curious sight of Gigi not landing something. Plus, of course, a bunch of bangers from the boys.

A new Absinthe Flipside episode, once again featuring Nicolas Müller and Wolle Nyvelt. This time, they have a go at the good ol’ 1080.

More Flipside episodes.

Pro snowboarders always have secret stashes; this is true for Nicolas Muller. Riding his home mountain of Laax in Switzerland, Nicolas takes Wolle Nyvelt and the Absinthe films crew up for an epic day of bluebird jumps at his favorite spots on the mountain. Nicolas and Wolle hit an epic jump above the clouds to a perfect powder landing. Nicolas caps the day with a solid frontside 1080 Melon just as the light fades away.

Here’s the full back story of Nicolas Müller’s cover shot of the latest Absinthe movie Resonance. It all went down in Laax on a shoot with Nico and Wolle Nyvelt.

Snowboarders Nicolas Müller and Wolle Nyvelt get deep in episode 2 of the Absinthe Flipside series exploring epic lines, drops, and pillows at Switzerland’s Laax Resort. With snow this deep, the mountain is an endless playground. Check out Nicolas’s huge stalefish at 4:21 landing him the cover shot for the movie! Stay tuned for more episodes all winter!

Absinthe Films are launching into another season of Flipside, their edits from behind the scenes of the new movie Resonance. In their first episode it’s all about pow hounds Nicolas Müller and Wolle Nyvelt.

Go behind the scenes with Absinthe Films pro snowboarders and filmers for the new 2012 movie, Resonance. Nicolas Muller and Wolle Nyvelt score epic deep powder conditions at Laax Resort in Switzerland. Nicolas shows the crew around his home resort hitting up pillows and jump lines to kick the season off! Stay tuned for more episodes every other Friday all winter long here on Network A!

Heading out of bounds? Or even just wanting a pack to stash your swag for long days in the park or cruising the hill? Take a look at the Dakine Team Heli Pro…

If you’re looking for a pack to ride with, or hike with for that matter, they don’t come much better than the Dakine Team HeliPro. This 20-litre bag is big enough to stash extra layers, water, lunch and, hell, maybe a post session beer, but has a great harness system and is low-profile enough that you barely feel it when it’s on. Strapping on your board is easy, it will take a hydration system, your avalanche gear and even has laptop and organiser pockets for multi-functionality. The model shown is Wolle Nyvelt’s pro model colourway, but there’s a selection of others to choose from according to your taste.

The Zillertal homeboy gives you a guided tour of his Asmo powboard ‘locater’ (whatever that means) in Zillertal. Dude shreds pow with and without bindings. Proof? Here it is.

If it’s your first time in Alaska can you think of anyone better than having Nicolas Müller and Wolle Nyvelt show you the ropes? AK freshmen Jake Blauvelt, Bode Merrill and Lucas Debari – no slouches when it comes to snowboarding it must be said – reap the rewards of guidance from the two Euro Jedis when they popped their Alaskan cherry, and the result is some banging natural terrain freestyle.

It’s not just the shredding that’s first rate; it’s also super interesting to see just what it takes to get footage dialled in AK’s heavy, unpredictable but downright awesome terrain. Enjoy.
