THE BRITS AT KAUNERTAL

Apart from tons of snow – yes, also 15cm fresh – it was one more time a blast hanging out with a british snowboard crowd at Kaunertal during the UK on-snow demo. I had some awesome rides with the ABSOLUTE gang (thanks Paul and Matt and co …) and Mark from Snow & Rock. The [...]

A 40ft base means that Bachelor’s lifts will be hauling riders to the top of the hill for another 6 weeks! Good news for Cartel rider Justin Norman who seems to have found a liking for going upside down twice off backcountry booters, but needs snow to do it. In this vid from Bachelor Resort [...]

More From Yannicks Yeux

Ever wondered what it’s like to be mid-way through a McTwist in slushy La Plagne whilst riding next year’s Amplid Paradigma?
