Young idealistic share-parter Max Warbington knows that trick rotation is crucial to part integrity and long term hammer farming longevity. Rather than force tricks on landscapes Max let’s the land dictate the landing and the wind dictate the air. This powerful dreamer has just started sowing his seeds of snowboard magic. Sharing this digital real-estate is technical veteran Sam Hulbert, who is also a poly-faced snow master with a huge trick bag and video parts a plenty under his belt. From Boston to Riksgransen two of the best sow the seeds of shred and we reap the benefits in this absolute scorcher of a video part!

Champéry is a low-key Swiss town tucked away in the massive Portes du Soleil ski complex, a region of 13 interconnected resorts across Switzerland and France comprising 206 lifts and every type of terrain imaginable. Last season, Portes du Soleil, the “Doorway to the Sun,” was also the doorway to deep powder. With an underwhelming season underway in North America, our crew of Bryan Fox, Curtis Ciszek, Nils Mindnich and Alex Rodway chose Champéry as a destination—a natural fit for these snowboarders inspired by footage of legendary riders shredding in the classic snowboarding film “Riders on the Storm.” But would they find the same epic conditions that Farmer and Perata experienced? Indeed, the trip was highlighted by sunshine and airy powder, slashable windlips and steep landings, with uncrowded and untracked slopes. And that is the reward for following the engrained urge all of us snowboarders have to seek out new terrain and epic new experiences.
