2010: Like many a hungry young shredder from Quebec, Marie-France Roy packed up and left the frozen flatlands eastern Canada for the powder and possibilities of British Columbia. She found what she was looking for—powder—and things have never really been the same. Over the past last five years, MFR has gone from a big fish in a small pond—the best female rider in Quebec—to laying down a video part in 2007, showing her as perhaps the best female street rider snowboarding has yet seen. Of course there was no slowing down. In 2008 she began her first forays into the backcountry, riding a snowmobile and learning the ropes. In 2009, with the support of friend and fellow backcountry maven Annie Boulanger, Marie continued her streak of progression hard at work with Absinthe. But progression rarely comes without a price. Marie spent the past summer healing from a broken neck she suffered while filming in Canada last season. By the beginning of summer MFR was out of the neck brace and back in action. She right back on the horse, surfing on Vancouver Island during the summer and working out to be strong for the coming season. The powder and pillows are calling and MFR will return more stoked and focused than ever.

2010: Watch Lucas ride and its clear to see he’s a product of his environment. He started riding at 4 years old and grew up riding Mount Baker in Washington, one of the heaviest spots in all of North America and home to many of snowboarding’s most legendary riders. Craig Kelly, Jamie Lynn, Temple, Ranquet—there’s a little bit of all these riders embodied in young Lucas. Maybe it’s the demanding terrain and the heavy wet snow, but something about Baker builds strong, flowy riders with incredible terrain-reading abilities. And yet, for as much Baker local pride as he’s got, Lucas has cast out on his own, eager to explore the entire world on his snowboard. At only 22, he’s already won the fabled Baker Banked Slalom. In 2009, he filmed an awesome rookie part in Get Real, going on to be voted Rookie Of The Year by TransWorld Snowboarding. This past season, Lucas joined Absinthe to film for Now/Here and it’s obvious he has hit his pace. With ripping, high-speed AK lines in the opening of the movie, Lucas seems like a great fit for the crew and is sure to keep pushing it in the years ahead. “I enjoy snowboarding more and more every time I strap in,” he says. How’s that for good vibes?

2010: Jake Blauvelt was raised on the icy slopes of Vermont, USA. From a young age, Jake learned to use his board’s edges in the rock-hard pipes of the east—a fundamental skill that, over the years he’s developed to become one of the most fluid and controlled young pros of the new generation. Barely out of his teens, Jake tired of the pipe and slopestyle contest formats and sought out the freedom of powder and exploring the mountains. He just wanted to ride and film, and so he did—blending his technical freestyle abilities with the natural forms of the backcountry environment. In 2008 Jake shook things up by changing sponsors and moving up to the Pacific Northwest—to be closer to the legendary Mount Baker, Washington. Here Jake has sharpened his focused on dissecting natural terrain and gaining skill in all aspects of backcountry riding. Filming for NowHere this year was his first season with the Absinthe crew and for Jake it was a dream come true. He went to Alaska for the first time with Gigi Rüf and he explored the depths of Chatter Creek, B.C. with Nicolas Müller. Jake calls Absinthe “the real deal,” and is already looking forward to the next adventure.
