04/04/2025 • by Hannes Hemper
The SLVSH Cup final is here—Max Moffatt faces off against Alec Henderson in an epic showdown! Plus, don’t miss an exciting podcast with Nick Russell as he dives into his unique backcountry approach, along with a sneak peek at Natural Selection Ski featuring Weazy. Meanwhile, Estelle heads to Alaska with Travis Rice—and she’s delivering big.

Video 1: MIXTAPE - Riksgränsen, a snowboarding heaven? by Sven Thorgren

A compilation of the best moments that Sven associates with Riksgränsen - powder lines, sunsets and big feelings. He is currently behind the scenes due to an injury, but that doesn't stop him from delivering a real snowboarding dream: Cornices, jumps and style.

After this edit, there's only one thing you want: off to Riksgränsen.

Video 2: 4FRNT Presents : BONANZACRU

A Norwegian ski crew that has been part of the scene for years - unagitated, but consistently strong. Whether in urban street spots or together with Stinius in the challenging backcountry: they simply get the job done.

A short edit that shows how versatile and uncompromising skiing can be. Sit back and enjoy.

Video 3: FULL FILM - See You At The Bottom - The New Zealand Snow Movie (Full Official)

This film, although already three years old, simply makes you want to go to the mountains - and go skiing. See You At The Bottom takes us on a journey through the most diverse ski resorts in New Zealand. Each resort with its own character, each spot with its own atmosphere - from rough and wild to playful and inviting.

Along for the ride: an impressive mix of riders - from Olympic athletes to freeride specialists. A declaration of love to New Zealand skiing. Kiwi Heaven, once in short film length.

Video 4: Oregon pro skier Hank Stowers heads north to see if Washington’s Stevens Pass and Alpental can deliver the goods.

Last week I met Hank in Alpental - a day with lots of fresh snow, but typically wet: the famous "Washington Cement", as the locals affectionately call it.

Hank's charisma was already noticeable in the lift line. On the mountain, it quickly became clear: Hank doesn't just ski - he dances through the snow. Style, energy and good humor - a rider you just love to watch.

Video 5: Sunny Side Up | A Short Film With Estelle Pensiero And Travis Rice

Estelle made her debut on the Natural Selection Tour this year. As the daughter of the owner of the legendary Baldface Lodge, she was literally born into snowboarding.

But Estelle doesn't rely on her name - she delivers. With strong style, technical ability and palpable passion, she represents a new generation of female riders.

Even snowboard icon Travis Rice took notice - and invited her to Tordrillo, Alaska, without further ado. There could hardly have been a better stage for the next step in her career.

Video 6: Natural Selection Ski 2025 - strike in Alaska by Craig Murray

On April 17, the time has finally come: NST Ski celebrates its online premiere. The event itself is already behind us, but the anticipation is palpable - thanks to the first teasers and behind-the-scenes clips of the camp setup, the face and the test runs.

And what has already leaked out makes you want more: 7s over spines, doubles on natural features - a setup that knows no compromises. With none other than Sean Pettit in the judging booth, expectations are correspondingly high.

Thanks to Weazy for the gopro insight - hui hui hui, it's going to be a spectacle.

Contest of the week: FINAL || Max Moffatt vs. Alec Henderson || SLVSH CUP GRANDVALIRA '25

Final at the SLVSH Cup Grandvalira 2025 - and it's sizzling. Alec Henderson goes into the Cup as the clear underdog, but what he delivers here speaks for itself. Creative, confident, stylish.

On the other side: Max Moffatt, SLVSH veteran, technically strong and hot for the title. A Canadian duel at eye level - Canada vs. Canada, old vs. new, experienced vs. hungy.

17 minutes of pure park enjoyment, excitement right up to the last trick. A must-see for anyone who loves style, tactics and precision in the park.

Podcast: The Peak of Evil with Nick Russell - Mark My Bird, Ep. 23

In the latest episode of Mark My Bird, episode 23, you meet Nick Russell, a snowboarder who takes alpine backcountry snowboarding to a new level with his authentic style.

Nick goes his own way - always with a focus on health and sustainability, both mentally and physically. If you love the backcountry and want to get to know the sport from a different, authentic perspective, you shouldn't miss this podcast.

History Lesson: Eric Jackson's "Alignment" - Full Movie

"Alignment" is not only about Eric Jackson's snowboarding, but also about his deep connection to nature and spirituality. The film shows him on a journey that goes far beyond the sport.

Together with his brother John Jackson, another pioneer of snowboarding, Eric has made steep lines and natural features his trademark. Both are true icons of the scene, whose unique style has significantly shaped the development of snowboarding.

For me personally, "Alignment" is Eric Jackson's best film and one of the best snowboard films ever - a real recommendation for anyone looking for more than just action and tricks.
