Videos of the Week #16 2019/20 | Absinthe

We used to have absinthe, now we have Red Bull...

by Sebastian Müller • 03/13/2020

"The Wizard" Gigi Rüf qualified for the Verbier Extreme 2020 at the FWT in Fieberbrunn with a lot of style. [Should it take place, as of today: "Ghost Contest" with live broadcast, see below]. He has left his mark on Absinthe films, and we look back on these great, golden snowboard films that have been watched so often for their soundtracks alone.

In these golden youtube times (I'm under house arrest here in Italy), we round things off with a few not-quite-winning runs from Fieberbrunn that are well worth watching. The inevitable conclusion to be drawn from this episode is the demand for a wildcard for Nicolas Müller at Verbier Extreme 2020.

Italy will survive and, despite the recent crisis, is coming back to life in the powder! We enjoy neve pulverosa and canale and canalone, and hereby show our solidarity with the southern side of the Alps. At least that's how it initially appears on the video... The fresh snow is sometimes sparsely reflected in moving images. So soon we had to pull out some gems, and finally, as is so typical, a PG-Conditions reporter and steep face skier completes this episode, and how!

If you can't think of anything, then you watch VLOGs. A bit of something has come together. At the end of the day, once again PowderGuide contest reporter Tobias Huber saves us with his season edit.

There are freeriders, not only you and me from the German speaking parts of the Alps, but also Japanese freeriders, like Yu Sasaki. He is familiar to us from FWT competitions. I watched Kicking Horse and Yu's run i.m.h.o. would have been the winning line if he hadn't screwed up the drop from the wind lip on top of the face, which was penalized by the judges. ContestHappening didn't mention his run, thus, in order to let justice and mercy prevail, we honor Yu's great line and big drop here!
