2010: Like many Canadian shredders from the east coast, Annie Boulanger headed west to British Columbia over ten years ago. And it has paid off. Annie’s video segment in 2009’s Neverland was amazing—it pointed in the progressive direction that women’s riding is headed: consequential freestyle/freeride action in the backcountry. Her riding made a statement and showed that through her own self-motivation, Annie is leading the way. For her efforts, she won the recognition and admiration of the entire world of snowboarding when she won Rider Of The Year and Video Part Of The Year by TransWorld Snowboarding Magazine and was voted 2010 Woman Rider Of The Year by Snowboarder Mag. But these accolades aside, Annie has been pushing herself for a decade as a pro rider and has continued to evolve, not because she seeks recognition, but because she is a self-proclaimed “soul-shredder” who, like the rest of us, “loves powder.” She has been filming with Absinthe for four years now, the first two, as the sole female in heavy, all-dude crews. Yes, Annie can hang. Even facing a tough snow season in Whistler in 2010, during the filming of NowHere, Annie was undeterred, she just keeps going until she finds what she’s looking for.

2010: Originally hailing from the NorCal skate hotbed of Santa Cruz, California, its no surprise that Bode Merrill has skateboarding in his veins. “Snowboarding, skating, and traveling to explore new places” are Bode’s passions. And these passions seem to intersect perfectly in his role as an up-and-coming pro rider. Lured by the “best snow on earth,” Bode moved to Utah a few years back and began taking his skate-style riding into the mountains. Park City to be exact. Like many of his peers in snowboarding’s new guard, Merrill is equally adept at urban riding as well as hitting jumps. In 2010, he was nominated by TransWorld Snowboarding Magazine for both Rider Of The Year and Video Part Of The Year. Here’s why: In his first year of filming with Absinthe—for Neverland—Merrill stood out, and after all was said, done, and edited, he had secured the coveted closing part which, no exaggeration, blew people’s minds. After a winter spent injured—on the couch and in the gym—Bode only did one trip with the Absinthe gang for NowHere, “I went to Haines, Alaska. It was the deepest, most fun, and scariest snowboarding I’ve experienced!” But alas, Bode was back and charging.

Resonance (2012 release) >WATCH THE TRAILER
In pursuit of the best that the winter of 2012 had to offer, the Absinthe crew employed a dual strategy to both hustle and hunker down waiting. In a year of erratic snowfall, there was no other way to slay. But by splitting up and spreading out across the globe in smaller groups, they stacked the odds in their favor. The strategy worked. Tight, agile crews tuned themselves to local frequencies enabling them to tap into record-breaking dumps in Europe, heavy sessions in the Pacific Northwest, Japan, and ultimately, Alaska. It was a winter with Resonance: new riders came on board, new locations were exposed and as always, the Absinthe cameras captured all the action on film. featuring Nicolas Müller * Scotty Lago * Brandon Cocard * Gigi Rüf * Danny Kass * Mat Schaer * Manuel Diaz * Eric Jackson * Blair Habenicht * Sylvain Bourbousson * Wolle Nyvelt * Lucas Debari * Bode Merrill filmed in Laax, St.Luc, Anzère, Les Crosets - Switzerland Haines - Alaska Lech am Arlberg - Austria Michigan, Salt Lake City, Mt. Baker, Mt. Hood -USA Nelson - Canada Japan
