36. twel2ve

twel2ve (2011 release) > WATCH THE TRAILER A winter defined by feast or famine, shattered snowfall records and endless droughts, tidal waves, floods, and for many, a season that simply would not end.

The Kootenay, Purcell, Selkirk, Monashee, Pacific Coast, Cascade, Wasatch, Uinta, Cache, Gros Ventre, Strandafjellet and Kaçkar mountain ranges were on the winning end of the spectrum, and you might guess where the Absinthe crew spent their winter.

37. Resonance

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    Get Resonance on iTunes!
