Last month we visited Snowpark Zermatt. Snowpark Saas-Fee opened its doors a week later and we wanted to see what the park looks like. Since we got word that our interview partner from last year’s issue 41 – Elena Koenz – is currently in Sass-Fee, we sent contributing photographer Kuno Egli to join her for […]

As you may have noticed, we were pretty stoked on the recent photo comp that Fruttpark put on. Not just because they got a lot of interesting shots, but because it shows a creative spirit that seems to often be missing in a lot of our local parks these days. We got in touch to find […]

This past weekend, Nico and Terje hosted the 3rd annual Sudden Rush Banked Slalom. It was once again a fresh gathering of great folks who just wanted to go fast and have a good time. Very much like the previous year, the weather had other plans. High winds forced the lifts to close and heavy […]
