2010: With a name like Bjorn, you’d think this guy was some sort of Viking but that’s only part of the story, he’s a country boy from the flatlands of Big Lake, Minnesota, USA. But yes, he does have Norwegian blood in his veins. Taking family trips to Utah in his early days, the young skate-rat Bjorn caught snowboard fever and learned to shred right alongside his younger brother Erik. The two pushed each other eventually both becoming pro riders. Bjorn, with incredible skate-influenced style, was a serious pipe competitor, then Big Air contest killer, Winter X competitor, and original member of the influential Forum 8. Through the late 90s and early 2000s, Bjorn also put down some of the heaviest rail and urban moves yet seen. But that was then. These days, Bjorn is a certified shred legend who rides where he wants, when he wants. For the past few seasons, that has meant zigzagging all over Utah, British Columbia and the ultimate powder playground of Alaska. In addition to his status as the unofficial leader of the Rome Snowboards pro team, he’s generous with his backcountry knowledge and continues to mentor young riders as they take their first steps out of the parks and into the wild. Bjorn is down for life, simple as that.

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: It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when David Carrier-Porcheron became a snowboard legend; he’s been working at it every season for the last 15 years. With a staggering 20-plus video parts under his belt, DCP has been pushing himself and snowboarding with an intensity that few riders could ever hope to match. And yet for all the accomplishments, he is one snowboarding’s lowest-key stars. With a major sponsor shakeup in 2009, DCP rode through the transition from one of Burton’s frontmen, to being his own boss. Joining up with fellow Absinthe bros Romain de Marchi and JP Solberg, this trio formed YES Snowboards, and began a new revolution. Through it all, DCP didn’t skip a beat, he continues pursuing the steepest and deepest he can find, whether he’s leading Absinthe crews from his homebase in Squamish, BC or charging lines in AK. Super-positive and driven to ride, DCP inspires everyone around him. At this stage in his career, powder is the priority: summer in New Zealand, winters in B.C. and spring in Alaska. With all that pow, its no wonder he wears a permanent grin. And when he finally takes a break from the snow, he packs up the family and heads off on a surf trip. Indonesia, Costa Rica, even southern California, if there’s swell, DCP is down.

2010: Nicolas may well be the most naturally gifted rider to have ever strapped into a snowboard. Of course humble as he is, he would just shrug and deny this claim. He might however, argue that he has more fun than anyone else. Nicolas began as a young weekend warrior, traveling to ride at Laax resort from his home in the Zürich suburbs. Quickly consumed by his desire to ride, he thought of nothing else, rode feverishly and started entering competitions. Rising through the ranks of amateur halfpipe contests, Nico began his ascent toward the world of professional snowboarding. Fast-forward a few years to the beginnings of Absinthe Films, and Nicolas was there. He filmed for our first film Tribal, alongside one of his childhood heroes, Michi Albin, and he has been with us ever since. And in this time, Nicolas has filmed some of our most memorable material. From the faces of Haines to the forests of Japan, to mini-shred madness all over the world, Müller has stayed true to his passion for pure riding. He also become one of the most influential riders of his generation. Nicolas has recently moved to Laax where the whole journey began, from his home he can walk to the lift. From his new homebase, he is working toward becoming the ultimate Laax local.

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.
