Born on a common idea of opening new horizons in the town of Champery, the first JIB SESSION has brought the first stepping stone to freestyle in our resort. First ideas came from all of the people involved at Le Cafe du Nord and the freeride company snowschool.
Involving so many different people from so many backgrounds this event has shown the true motivation of our resort in freestyle. We are proud to have been part in it and we will put all of our efforts in the future to renew, ameliorate and enlarge the concept of freestyle in the main street of Champery. Look at Will Walker’s pics, the story is best told this way.

Né d’une idée commune afin d’amener de nouveaux horizons dans le village de Champéry, la premeire edition du JIB SESSION a amené une pierre a ce nouvel édifice. Les premières idées sont nées du Café du Nord et de la Freeride Company. Impliquant de nombreuses personnes de backgrounds différents cet event a montrée la véritable authenticité freestyle de notre station. Nous sommes fiers d’avoir pris part a cet event et nous mettrons tout en oeuvre pour renouveler, améliorer et agrandir le concept d’un événement freestyle dans la rue principale de Champéry. Checkez les tofs de Will Walker, ca sera la meillleure facon de comprendre de quoi on parle.

The second edition of the Champery-Les Crosets banked Slalom will take place in Grand Conche and it will be epic. On a crapy snowy day last year 50 dudes and dudess came to compete, for the fun of it but specially to share the love of snowboarding. This year we want it to be even better, more fun and keep the essence of our passion.
Freeride Company built a bran new website: http://bankedslalom.ch/
Subscribe there to participate, because missing this event would be the biggest mistake of your season.

La seconde éditon du banked Slalom de Champéry Les Crosets prendra place cette annee sur le site de Grand Conche et il sera épique. L’an passé, durant une journée quasi tempétueuse 50 keum et meufs se sont départagés la victoire pour le fun et le kiffe de la ride. Cette année le banked sera encore mieux, plus fun tout en gardant l’essence meme de la ride.
la Freeride Company a d’ailleurs construit un tout nouveau site, checkez le sans attendre et inscrivez-y vous directement http://bankedslalom.ch/
Louper le banked serait la plus grande erreur de votre saison.

As usual we would like to say Absinthe-Films is exploiting the mythical “Zone” in Les Crosets these days. Wolle Nyvelt, Silvain Bourbousson, Mat Schaer just joined us in our resort media house along with photographer Jerome Tanon and legendary home resort filmer David Vladyka. This year Vlad got an intern for digital filming and other purposes, it was an easy pick to get a local and motivated Numa S. to do the “dirty Job”. Although the kid has been very productive so far and we hope to see the result of his added value in “give away” footage on the web.
Soon we will show several clips of last year Absinthe footage of our beautiful resort, even if most have been seen in the last Absinthe movie, Resonance, other will be fully exclusive.

Comme a son habitude un des crew d’Absinthe films a commencé sa saison de shooting dans la “Zone” mythique des Crosets. Wolle Nyvelt, Silvain Bourbousson accompagner de Jerome Tanon nous ont rejoins dans notre media house. Nul besoin de présenter l’investigateur à la base de cette organisation, David Vladyka. Cette annee Vlad a fait les frais en s’adjugeant les services d’un interne du nom de Numa S., un local bien motivé qui parfois effectue les taches ardues. Il est néanmoins a noté que le jeune local a déjà montré que son input ajoute une plus-value intéressante et nos nous réjouissons deja de voir le résultat de son travail.

Upcomer local and Team rider Laurent DeMartin nails a featured vid on newschoolers.com with an amazing edit of his 2012 season. Rails, boxes, street, jumps, bc, powder you name it it got it all. With his unique style he steps it up again to the next level, soon it would not be a surprise to see him perform on international level and have the chance to express his natural talent with a bigger filming prod, who knows.
