2010: The ‘Stompermatten’ has returned to ride with Absinthe after a hiatus and we’re glad to have him back. Saas Fee’s favorite son, Frederik Kalbermatten is considered one of the most dynamic riders in Switzerland’s of long-standing legacy of smooth operators. Schooled in the high alpine of the Swiss Alps and confident in all-terrain, FK made a name for himself on the World Cup halfpipe circuit and began filming with Absinthe at the very beginning. He appeared in our first film Tribal, and continued on delivering solid, precise freestyle action in Transcendence, Vivid, and Saturation. In one word, FK describes himself as “mellow,” but you’d never agree when you watch him ride. He literally attacks the fall line, combining his high-speed freeride approach with technical trickery. The only hint of anything “mellow” about FK’s riding is his enviably lazy and relaxed aerial style. Off the snow FK is just as dynamic. He is working hard to grow his streetwear brand Atreebutes—with his partner and fellow Absinthe rider, Nicolas Müller—into a sustainable, recognizable international brand. Fredi is also a DJ, for the past few years he’s been mixing up some tasty hip-hop, drum-and-bass, and most recently Dubstep sounds. He’s been featured at Switzerland’s foremost summer shred event, the Freestyle.ch and last winter he even DJ’d in Kamchatka, Russia in the middle of an Absinthe filming trip.

Saturday started off with promising conditions. Everything came together on a perfect blue bird day after a few days of heavy snow fall in Portes du Soleil. The camel toe jump which had been shaped a week earlier was waiting to be dusted off and deflowered. We brought in the helicopter from Verbier (Heli Alps) to get a third angle but also to help out the riders by allowing them to focus their energy on stomping some big things instead of hiking endlessly. Eight people made it happen. Romain deMarchi, Jules Reymond, and JP Solberg, together with two photographers Howzee and Ahriel Povic and Absinthe Filmers, Eric, Vlady and Brusti. Good vibes on the hill helped bring it all together. Around noon everything was ready and the helicopter took off with David Vladyka filming from the bird. JP lead the way and among other things, brought his double corked trick from last year to the big leagues. The resulting photos that you will be peeping in the mags next winter will blow your mind… and the film shots worked out, too.
