For Nicholas Wolken, turning is more than snowboarding’s foundation. It’s the simplest expression of what riding is all about. And from going pro to shaping snowboards made for turns, he’s spent much of his life chasing the deep feelings that come with carving on snow. Sure, the act of turning might be simple. But when mind, body, and board collide in a perfect toeside, simple has never felt more supernatural.

Nicholas spent much of his life chasing the deep feelings that come with carving on snow. Sure, the act of turning might be simple. But when mind, body, and board collide in a perfect toeside, simple has never felt more supernatural.

Every morning starting pedaling was one of the best moment of the day even if the muscles were rusty. But the climax appeared every day after 6 hours of biking, like a fresh energy coming in. And that bliss became quickly my daily goal.
A last-minute, off-the-grid solo trip to Perù. I forgot how fast bike travel pulls you into the local culture. But what was meant to be an easy bike ride turned into a actual expedition, The altitude, the weather, and the water management needed a bit of strategy.
Big trip through the aiguilles de Chamonix with @leoloux_ .
Strong feelings to ski 2 couloirs between the landscape I’ve been watching from the valley over the past 10 years.
It would have been too easy if we didn’t miss the lift to avoid the 1000m of walking in the forest. Again I was too late to pick up the kids at school. In the end we broke the record running down with ski boots and finally arrived right on time at the bar. What a sick day ⛷️🍻
We were 3 hours late to pick up the kids at school but a dream came true. The Chardonnet became even more my desired summit when I turned back 6 years ago in a solo mission in the fog 80m from the summit. Thanks @cedricaubert for the adventure and the modeling.
The line of a lifetime for the skiers, The shooting of a lifetime for us. More than 200k spectators in theaters, the movie is now available on @pictureorganicclothing ‘s youtube.
2ème ligne en lice pour la Ligne de l'année 2024 ⛷️ Direction le Schreckhorn !
Depuis plusieurs années @vivianbruchez s'est lancé dans un projet de skier tous les 4000 des Alpes. Cette descente marque le 77ème sommet de son aventure. Accompagnés de son acolyte @aurel_lardy et de @thomas_guerrin derrière l'objectif, ils ont suivi l'itinéraire de la première ascension du Schreckhorn en 1864, ce qui en fait un première à ski.
Mais ils ne sont pas arrêtés là, savez-vous comment ils sont rentrés chez eux ? Petit indice : 🚣 La réponse est dans la vidéo complète à retrouver sur notre site internet ! Retrouvez également l'ensemble des lignes en lice et votez pour votre favorite.
