Coming from the land down under: park laps and powder pillows while the rest of us bask in sunshine and snow withdrawals.

Pirate Movie Productions introduces their selective cast of only eight riders--including Nico Muller, Gigi Ruf and Teo Konttinen--and show that less is in fact more.

For monster road gaps, powder pillows of your dreams and some of the scariest looking lines I've seen this trailer season, check out Absinthe Film's "Resonance" trailer, complete with Nico Muller, Scotty Lago, Danny Kass and a long list of others...

Nicolas Muller and Wolle Nyvelt send it in Switzerland in this Absinth Flipside edit, shredding nipple deep powder in super secret Swiss spots and going on backcountry filming missions with their European homies in Nico's home resort of Laax. Fresh snow, endless powder pillows and lifts closed form too much snow-a solid winter for Switzerland.

The writers and riders responsible for frequency TSJ #10.1's alpenHOFF feature travel far and wide for a promise of almost no snow and the seemingly ulterior motives of seeing David Hasselhoff live, chasing hookers and working on their beer bellies while their friends in Jackson Hole experience the best winter in two decades. So was the Hoff really worth the flight layovers, angry friends back in Jackson Hole and crammed Swiss bars?

Setting off to gain a better understanding of a country that is frequently painted as dangerous and hostile towards Americans, Borders Without Boarders members Hannah Teter, Burton rider Gabi Viteri and two male riders (TBA) are raising money to travel to Iran, snowboard in the Alborz Mountains and gain a deeper understanding of the people and culture that thrives there.

For their 9th episode of Brothers on the Run, John and Eric Jackson fit in some humanitarian hot dogs for landfill workers in Mexico, raffle off new shoes to the locals, say peace out to their nomadic homeboy Panchito and finally find some heavy barrels (set to even heavier dubstep) in Pascuales.
