YOU CAN FEEL IT!

Excellent products with unbeatable riding qualities – for 90 years this has always been and will always be the ethos behind the Völkl brand.

Völkl Snowboards are unique because of the innovative capabilities of the development department and the in-house race laboratory, who research, test and experiment with the latest high-tech materials. This passion for perfection is what a rider feels in each and every turn and jump.

If our sophisticated technology is the roots of Völkl Snowboards, our team riders are its nurturing soil. It is they who scrutinize our boards to the full, in the most extreme conditions.

As long as snow falls we will live what we preach: the creation and en-hance ment of high tech products that make snowboarding an unrivaled experience.

Völkl built their first snowboards in 1987. Since then, we’ve been perfecting them and we’re proud of the unique developments and features we have introduced. Völkl Premium Carbon, the legendary Horror-Shock Absorber, genius Powder Channel and the one and only Grip Lacquer Topsheet are just a few of the special creations from Völkl Snowboards.

For the 2014/15 season we are once again able to implement our team riders’ wishes and dreams and are proud to present new shapes, features and boards within the line. They include a new Freestyle and Freeride Hybrid Shape, Tapered and Blunt Nose Geometries, an Ultimate Vibration Object and much more, all of which have allowed us to update existing boards and make new models such as the GeniX, Steaze, Disturbia, Untrac and Alright shine.

While mother hulda visited the Northern Alps only occasionally last winter, she definitely had a blast in East Tyrol, a small part of Austria close to the Italian border: head-high snow walls, chest-deep powder, deeply covered spots – it was a truly exceptional season.

Of course our riders didn‘t want to

miss out! They headed down South

several times, always experiencing

the same phenomenon:

spring temperatures just before

the entrance to the tunnel that

separates East Tyrol from the rest

of Austria and complete whiteout

when exiting five kilometers later.

While Peter Walchhofer, Michi

Schatz and Simon Pircher dug new

street spots in the city of Lienz, Chris

Kröll and Michael ‚Stani‘ Stanschitz

found a paradise of pillow lines,

road gaps and backcountry kickers

in the resort of Defreggental. We

love you East Tyrol!

POWDERLANDWelcome to

Page 10: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

Peter WalchhoferWhen we started our trip to East Tyrol in Innsbruck

in February it was dumping so heavily that we had to

put on snow chains half way. The avalanche danger in

the resorts was extremely high so we decided to stay

in Lienz for a few days shooting some street spots.

However, this turned out to be more difficult than

expected as most of the rails were buried underneath

deep snow. Nevertheless, we scored great shots during

our four-day trip and then headed towards the resort

of Defreggental where we were rewarded with endless

pillow lines, tree runs and drops! The entire footage of

this incredible trip can be seen in the new Sane! movie

(sanesnow.com) and the Völkl Team Edit...

Page 11: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

Michi SchatzAfter we had checked out some street spots in Lienz

on the first day, we agreed on a double kinked rail next

to the main street, but first we had to dig it out for two

hours! Simon took some heavy slams during the session

but finally got a sick frontside boardslide. The next day

we discovered an abandoned furniture store and did a

rail to drop from the first floor; that was really cool! At

some point the police showed up but they only told us

to be careful and not get hurt.

Page 12: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

On my way to Lienz I was completely stunned by Mother

Nature‘s two sides: Before entering the tunnel everything was green and when exiting it

you were driving along two meter high snow walls! The session at the double kinked rail in Lienz

was the most memorable, as we all took some heavy beatings

but also bagged amazing shots. When the only street leading

into the Defreggental finally re-opened, after being buried under an avalanche, we could continue

our trip and ride some pow. It was still too dangerous to explore the backcountry, so we mainly stayed in the forest. Unfortunately, Michi

crashed against a tree on our second powder day breaking one of his ribs and ending our epic trip

earlier than planned.

Simon Pircher

There is probably no other area I have been shooting

more often in last season than East Tyrol. I drove there

eleven times and experienced some incredible days:

the Defreggental has so many good spots and shooting

possibilities. There is something for everyone, no matter

if you’re looking for road gaps, pillow lines, kicker spots

or big lines. Together with Stani I scored one of the best

days: we found a small area with so many possibilities

that we stayed there the entire day. I think each of us

was able to shoot three different spots; it felt like on a

huge playground!

Chris Kröll

The terrain and its facilities in East Tyrol are just amazing! We had a bit of everything, kicker spots, corners, gaps and bonks ...

For these photos we found the spots right next to the road. „Spots2go“

There are only a few places on the planet where you can shred waves and powder on the same day. Cantabria in the North of Spain is one of them; embedded between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrenees it takes less than one hour to switch from surfing to snowboarding! That‘s what the Völkl riders Simon Pircher and Chris ‚CK‘ Kröll did last March when they participated in the Obsession-A2 Fussion Surf & Snow Contest.

Page 19: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

The Obsession-A2 Fussion is a crossover event that

combines a surf contest with a banked slalom. Taking

place for the second time, the entire Spanish boardsport

scene came to compete, amongst them snowboard

legend Iker Fernandez, former international pro rider Cuca

Aranda and local surf hero Axi Munain. Chris ‚CK‘ Kröll and

Simon Pircher didn‘t want to miss this unique event.

„I love going snowboarding in Spain“, explained CK.

„The scene is really small but very passionate, and the

Spanish Pyrenees can definitely keep up with the Alps.“

After Sara from the Spanish Völkl distribution picked

them up from the airport in Bilbao, they drove straight

to the sea. „Fortunately the waves weren‘t as big as two

weeks before when beach houses were washed away“,

Simon said after their first surf session. However, the two

Austrians didn‘t have a lot of time to get used to the water

as the surf contest was scheduled for the next day.

„We aren‘t the best surfers but participating in the contest

was a lot of fun and a welcome change after a long winter“,

said Chris who also enjoyed the one-of-a-kind atmosphere

during the event in Somo, with its surfers, skaters, kids,

old folks, tents, workshops, SUPs, bodyboards, music and

tapas – Spain olé!

The next day Simon and CK stowed their surfboards

and headed for the Pyrenees, or more precisely to Alto

Campoo, one of the biggest resorts in Cantabria. Here,

the riders competed in a perfectly shaped banked slalom,

while enjoying spring-like temperatures, bluebird sky and

fiesta vibes.

„We aren‘t the best surfers but participating in the contest was a lot of fun and a welcome change after a long winter“

Page 20: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

The end of the event signaled the beginning of a new trip

for Simon and CK as they would stay in the Pyrenees for

seven more days. Spain had experienced an extremely

good winter with loads of dumps, and the riders wanted

to take advantage of the still promising snow conditions.

„In no time at all we found a nice spot in Candanchu and

built a step up which was a lot of fun“, Simon recalled.

Their splitboard tour from Astun in Spain over the

French Pyrenees and back was one of the highlights for

both riders. „From here you could see how massive the

mountains really are“, remembered Chris. After numerous

good shots and a short stay in Bilbao, which included a

visit to the famous Guggenheim museum and a bit of

partying, the two riders returned to Austria after ten

incredible days. „It was a pretty cool but also exhausting

trip as we visited a lot of different spots and were either

surfing or snowboarding each day!“, remarked Simon.

„Furthermore we had to try all these different regional

delicacies. In total, we drove 1300 kilometers and ate

100.000 calories each – a pretty productive trip, right?“

SHAPE PHILOSOPHYWith a variety of Rocker, Camber and Hybrid Shapes,

we have more board types to choose from than ever before. A choice of board is determined by preferred terrain as

well as personal riding style and taste.

Page 23: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

Camber

Rocker

CAMBER NOSETAIL

HybridCAMBERROCKER ROCKER NOSETAIL

FLATROCKER ROCKER NOSETAIL

Camber Boards, with classic tension, are concave between the two contact points of nose and tail. With direct power transmission and maximized edge pressure they are best suited for precise, aggressive riding styles and high velocity riding; as well as the big kicker line, icy pipes and high speed runs in the backcountry. Hence shapes with a lot of camber require proper riding technique as well as experience. However, in a more mellow version, camber shapes can also be great for beginners as they teach flawless technique and skills.

All Völkl Rocker Boards with “negative camber” are flat between the bindings, while from the inserts out towards the nose and tail the board is convex, which provides amazing float in powder. In general, rockers shapes are more forgiving, making them perfect for tricks on rails and jibs in the park. Völkl has also added a bit more width to the nose and tail, combined with a smaller radius, offering incredible hold when a board is on an edge, comparable to camber shapes. The result is a playful board with perfect edge grip when needed. This distinguishes Völkl Rocker Shapes from all others on the market.

This universal shape combines classic Camber tension between the bindings with a mellow rocker in the nose and tail. This offers playful riding qualities while maintaining excellent edge hold, making hybrid shapes not only great for the backcountry but also for the park. A shorter board is definitely a ben efit in both cases! Völkl has two different hybrid variations on offer: a Free style and a Freeride Hybrid Shape, with sidecuts and nose geometries perfectly matched to their designated terrains.

HybridShapes

FREESTYLE HybridCAMBERROCKER ROCKER NOSETAIL

To combine the playful riding characteristics of rocker boards with the stability and response of camber boards, the Völkl R+D Department

developed two different Hybrid Shapes for freestylers and freeriders.

Playful park riding works best on short boards, so the team asked our R+D Laboratory for a short board with the edge hold and stability of a much longer one! They also wanted a board that facilitated fast rotations but minimized unwanted reverts and didn’t catch an edge in washed out landings. It also had to be as stable and smooth as a longer board with according edge hold when charging icy in-runs. It was no easy task but our R+D Department worked out an unique sidecut, pushing the widest parts of the board towards the nose and tail. This extends the effective edge, allowing riders to opt for shorter boards without sacrificing edge hold or sta-bility. It also ensures a safe feeling on hard obstacles in the park as well as

perfect grip when pushing in icy pipes.>>> Xbreed / GeniX / Disturbia

Page 25: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

FREERIDE HybridCAMBERROCKER ROCKER NOSETAIL

The only thing that matters in powder is float! Tired of struggling with 180 cm pow sticks, the team asked for a freeride board with maximum float but that was still playful and dynamic in the backcountry. This was the inspiration for the Völkl R+D Department to conceive the Playful Freeride Sidecut (Alright). This dynamic freeride shape, with its shortened effective edge is super responsive. To accomplish this, the widest points of nose and tail are pushed inwards, while the camber between the bindings is en-hanced. This adds grip as soon as pressure is put on the edges. The Rocker in nose and tail also lets you drift effortlessly in steep couloirs and icy terrain, without uncontrolled sliding. At the same time the rocker underneath the tips prevents the board from digging into bombed out powder, especially if a

rider’s weight is thrown over the front when landing.>>> Alright / Untrac

Longer rocker in the nose. Maximum flotation in powder. Playful riding characteristics, but also

Now you can ride shorter boards! A moderate camber between the bindings combined with a smooth rocker in the nose and tail. The blunt

Smooth camber with early rise in the nose and tail for a reduced contact length. Direct, but at the same time playful.

HORRORSHOCKABSORBER

HIGH TECH is given a high profile at Völkl and so the legendary Horror-Shock Absorber is refined every year, to make our boards as stable as possible.

SHOCK ABSORBER-

The Shock Absorber, a relief on the core, also counters impacts. The hardwood used is of an especially high density and sucks up the stresses and strains imposed by the bindings’ edges.

As an additional side effect, the inlay also provides additional POP.

THE FREESTYLE FLAGSHIP

The Squad Prime is our freestyle team’s secret weapon! With its symmetric shape and flex switch riding is just as smooth and balanced as riding regular, while the extended effective edge guarantees perfect grip and control in all situations. It is especially handy for fast inruns and the hard walls of a pipe. Even with massive airtime and icy landings this stick stays super stable, as the integrated Horror-Shock Absorber

Blunt NoseGeometry

To make freestyle boards as playful as possible, while still ensuring maximum edge grip, the Blunt Nose Geometry extends the effective edge without in-creas ing board size. This shifts the widest points of the shape further outwards and away from the bind ings. This “compressed” look is unusual but guarantees im-proved board feeling in the park. This is because it allows a rider to ride a shorter board, providing exact grip, perfect pressure on the edges, faster spins, and stable and revert-free landings, even if a trick isn’t perfectly stomped.

With light camber between the bindings, this shape is true and precise to ride, while the rocker in the nose and tail still make it more playful and floaty in powder than classic boards. In short: A seemingly shorter playful board with the stability and

edge hold of a longer one.

SHOCK ABSORBER

The Shock Absorber consists of a single hard wood layer that is inserted where the core tapers. Together with a V-Flex inlay it offers massive POP and improves durability as well as torsional properties.

EASY STYLE FOR PARK & POWDER

While there might be room to argue about taste, there’s none when discussing style! Tricks always look best when executed with ease, which will be way easier with the new Steaze. The Blunt Nose Geometry extends the effective edge and provides supreme grip and when landing fast spins, it prevents over rotating – simply dig in the edge and ride out straight! The Freestyle Rocker also allows the board to surf smoothly through powder without ever sinking, so even bombed out

powder landings are no obstacle!

LONGER EFFECTIVE EDGE Blunt Nose Geometry

SICK SHAPE COMBO –NOT JUST FOR THE PARK!

The GeniX unites the playful feeling of rocker shape with the precision and edge hold of camber. The softer flex makes it the perfect toy for all jibbers and in steep in-runs the mellow camber between the bindings kicks in, imparting stability and smoothness as well as edge grip. It is the perfect blend

of cambers for all riders who want to charge.

BLUNT NOSE GEOMETRY

For this special shape, the nose is built a little flatter with the sidecut adjusted accordingly. This increases the effective contact length of the edges, hence you can ride smaller boards with the same bite of a much longer board. This construction also provides less centrifugal mass, improving the whole board feeling and

making spins smoother.

Each year, at the end of the winter season, a recurring story unfolds in Ischgl, with groms as far as the eyes can see and racoon faces wherever you look and everywhere a babble of German, Spanish, Japanese and Finish echoes through the streets of the Austrian mountain village. Welcome to the Völkl World Rookie Finals! The crowds have been as big for the event than this year: After a long season with ten events on five continents more than 110 promising snowboarders from 24 nations travelled to Ischgl at the beginning of April to battle it out for the World (Rookie) Title. For the first time ever in the history of the World Rookie Tour the crown went to Japan, with our 17-year-old team rider Keita Inamura reigning victorious!

Page 40: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

Keita Inamura‘s winning run did not only impress

the judges: After a backside 1260 melon and switch

backside 1260 on the kickers, he pulled out a lip to front

boardslide gap 50-50 followed by a 50-50 frontside

360 out and a backside 360 on the pink ball. Rookie?

This performance would have earned him a place on the

podium at any snowboard contest! Soon Keita will be

able to prove that he has the skills to beat the pants off

seasoned pros as he not only won the World Rookie title

but also a wild card to the first Air & Style 2014/15. In a

short interview he told us about his time in Ischgl.

Keita Inamura17, Japan, World Rookie Champion

How did you like the park set up?

The first kicker had a 20 meter table and the second

kicker was even bigger, so you had to perfectly land your

first trick in order to be able to have enough speed for

the second.

On the rails there was no room for mistakes either as

they were built really tight. Overall the park was pretty

icy on the contest day because the slushy snow had

frozen overnight, but nevertheless I had a lot of fun

riding in Ischgl.

What was your personal highlight?

Being able to take part in the competition was definitely

my highlight. But actually everything there was pretty

exciting for me! (Editor‘s note: The traditional Tyrolian

food and the supermarkets were also pretty unique

experiences for Keita!)

What was your impression of Ischgl?

Big, big mountains, and there is a lot to discover off-

piste.

Anything else you want to say?

Thank you!

Florian Prietl17, Austria, 9th place Rookie

The World Rookie Finals in Ischgl are such a cool event

and I‘m pretty sad that it was my last time there. The

weather was doing great and so did my Squad Prime! I

tried to show some stylish and bigger tricks in my last

runs and was rewarded with a 9th place. Big respect

to Keita who was dominating the contest from the

beginning and pushing the level in the finals!

Tit Stante15, Slovenia, 19th place Rookie

My run was backside 7 to frontside 7 on the kickers,

method out of the pole jam, 50-50 transfer to backside

boardslide, frontside noseslide over the double kink,

50-50 frontside 360 out from the donkey tail, and

shifty backside 180 on the bonk. I‘m pretty happy with

my runs but I could have done better! Ischgl is a bit

different to the other tour stops because the level of

riding is a lot higher!

Marius Bakken17 , Norwegen, 20th place Rookies

The World Rookie Tour is the best competition for all

the young riders, and everyone should ride them.

I´ve been in Ischgl for the finals the last 4 years, and

every time is a blast. It is always special because of the

high level riding and the nice price giving’s.

Max Grünwald12, Germany, 12th place Groms

My personal highlights at this year‘s Völkl World Rookie

Finals in Ischgl? My backside 720, table tennis matches

with the Japanese riders and also I got to ride with my

friends Tobi, Noah, Moritz and Santiago.

Tobi Grünwald14, Germany, 13th place Groms

I‘m a bit sad that I missed the finals because of 0.5

points. However, I was happy with my run: a backside

360 and a big Indy nosebone. In Ischgl everything is

bigger and the riding level is extremely high. I hope I

can come back next year...

Mathias Wicki13, Switzerland, 16th place Groms

I liked the set up and did quite well despite the tightly

set rails: frontside 360, backside 360, 50/50 to

boardslide, 50/50 to front board, 50/50 to noseblunt

and backside 180. Overall the contest was very well

organized and the vibe was really cool.

Berenice Wicki11, Switzerland, 8th place Groms Girls

It was a great experience to compete in the World

Rookie Finals as you get to see so many good riders,

which really pushed me. The rails were pretty technical.

It‘s a pity that there is no halfpipe competition but the

park was fun to ride.

Ingvild Nymoen14, Norway, 10th place Groms Girls

I wasn‘t too happy with my runs because I failed at

the first rail in both of my runs and had to skip the next

rail. The jumps and the pole went well: on the first I

did a rocket air and on the second a straight air with

nosegrab.

In March, a motley crew of Völkl rookies set out for Switzerland.

During their one-week trip the young bloods from Germany, France, Italy, Slovenia and

Norway were not only facing thrilling team battles and countless park sessions but also

excessive raclette feasts.

battle with the local Centralpark crew they ended up in second place! The second Völkl team missed the finals by a hair‘s breadth,

taking fifth place. However, the next day their disappointment was a distant memory when

they bagged a lot of trophies and Swiss Francs in the ‚Tricks for Cash‘ sessions! „I liked the ‚No Spin To Win‘ contest the most because

you had to show original grabs and tweaks“, recalled Völkl rider Hannes Zösmayr who

took home the award for ‚The Most Stylish Rider‘ while his team mate from Italy, Antonio Contessi, was awarded ‚The Smoothest Rider‘

of the session.

The group‘s first stop was Thyon, just around the corner from Verbier, as the resort was hosting a very special slopestyle event. The ‚Gangs of Tyon‘ contest invites ski and snowboard crews from all over Europe to compete against each other in head-to-head battles. The team showing the better performance on the challenging kicker and jib set up was then allowed to advance into the next round. For the 9th edition of the contest more than 50 riders signed up, with Völkl sending two crews into the battlefield.

From the kickoff the level of riding was very high with the tricks becoming more and more difficult with each round. Among the four best teams to make it into the finals was the Völkl Snowboards crew with Tit State (SLO), Jan Kralj (SLO), Marius Bakken (NOR) and Florent Vorger (FRA) and after a close

After a successful weekend the team headed for Laax, where a product

shooting and visit to the Freestyle Academy were scheduled. „Laax

simply has one of the best parks in Europe“, a stoked Antonio Contessi

stated after the first session. The large selection of different obstacles

and a perfectly shaped superpipe made it easy for the riders to go big

during the two days of their stay. 15-year-old Loris Framarin from

Italy also enjoyed the trip to Laax: „It was a great experience to shoot

with the boards from next season and to meet and shred with the

other Völkl team riders.“

Page 53: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

At the end of the week another highlight was waiting for the rookies: together with photographer Patrick Steiner they visited the Freestyle Academy where they had a good romp on the trampolines and foam pits. „The possibilities here are incredible“, said Antonio. „There are countless trampolines, workout stations and synthetic carpet ramps for snowboarding and skiing where you land in a super safe foam pit; we could try new tricks without having to worry about crashing. It‘s a pity that there are no more of these facilities in Europe!“After a busy week of contests and shooting the Völkl rookies returned to their respective home countries with good memories and some money shots in their bags. For Jan Kralj from Slovenia it was one of the best trips of the season: „The week was so much fun because we worked together as a close team and got so much done!“ Looking at the many trophies and shots there is no doubt about that...

Especially produced for Völkl these extremely light Premium Car-bon fibers in the lower layer make the board particularly strong and lively. The carbon fibers’ tensile strength allows for very short response times and the length-wise integrated fiberglass strips

enhance the board’s torsional stiffness and add more POP.

BIG FOOT OF THE BOARDS

Big guys living it large shouldn’t be punished for their boot size! Therefore Völkl caters for them with an extra wide board that fits sizes over US 11, making toe drag a thing of the past. The Easy Rocker shape provides the Dimension with a super smooth but playful board feeling, no matter if its in the park, pow or slopes. Despite the wide waist it’s far from sluggish, in fact it‘s just as lively as a regular board.

NARROW boards are not only suitable for snowboarders with small feet but also for ladies. Their width is ranging around 240 mm, and their shape as well as flex is spe-cifi cally designed for small show sizes and light-weight riders (MP* < 26 ).

Savvy / Disturbia / Flavor / Melody / Rental Rocker WMN / Selecta 158 / Squad Jr. 132, 136, 140, 144 / Jibby

WIDE SHAPESWhen buying snowboard boots, neglecting your shoe size can result in an uncomfortable season. Too small of feet on a wide board mean that not enough pressure can be put on the edges – the board gets dull in its reaction and hard to turn. When wearing big boots on a narrow board, toes and heel overlap and lead to edge catching slams on icy slopes

or even a bruised heel after jumps!

A brief instruction to avoid this: With a boot size of 9 (MP* 26) or smaller, we recommend a narrow board below 260 mm. Boot size 10 (MP* 28) is falling into the “gray zone” – depending on the length of the shoe sole, the stance and the range of riding, it might be already advisable to ride a wide board. Those who are wearing boots bigger than size 11 (MP* 28) should buy an extra wide shape as it will offer the best board performance and direct power transmission. Don‘t worry: Wide doesn‘t mean sluggish! The brandnew Dimension, with 280 mm waist Völkl‘s widest board, shows

agile performance and direct power transmission from the first run.

AGILE & PLAYFUL Directional Freestyle Sidecut

EASY ROCKER SHAPE

This board is flat between the bindings too and only sports a minimal rocker shape, making the board low-key on the slope, with its full potential unfolding in the backcountry and the park. This makes these boards super easy to handle while extremely lively and forgiving. The perfect shape for newcomers to the rocker technology as they still get to carve on the slopes, without catching

edges or getting stuck in powder.

ALL-MOUNTAIN ALL-ROUNDER WITH STYLE

If you don’t want to be constrained in where you ride then the Spade is the perfect board for you. The directional sidecut makes detours into the backcountry just as comfy as visits to the park. If a trick isn’t completely stomped, the forgiving shape prevents nasty edge catching and the Shock Absorber can easily suck up bigger drops too. Rocker and a little set-back allow the Spade to float on powder, even when flat and on the slopes it stays smooth and stable even at high speeds.

DASH

EASY CAMBER SHAPE

This smooth camber shape combines an early rise in nose and tail with less camber. This shortens the contact length, making the board a little more playful without loosing the prime grip and re-sponse of a classic camber shape. It is a great option for beginners keen on honing their technique as it’s not as loose as a rocker shape.

ALL-MOUNTAIN BOARD FOR MORE THAN JUST ONE SEASON

With Easy Camber Shape, the Dash is the best choice for all newcomers who want to start off learning with a proper riding technique. With a softer flex it’s not too harsh to ride and is still easy to control in all terrains. Excellent for cruising soft slush, carving icy slopes or for trying your first

tricks in the park.

At the end of March, a kind of fairy tale took place in Livigno, Italy: for four days some of the best female freeskiers and snowboarders gathered in a castle made of snow shredding, partying and laughing together from sunrise to sunset.

Page 61: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

invited into the livigno castle

When Völkl riders Elena Könz and Birgit Rofner found

their Nine Queens invitation in their mailbox they were

stoked beyond belief, as for the first time in the event‘s

history a select group of snowboarders was allowed

to shred the legendary „chateau“ besides their fellow

freeski friends. The unique features consisting of huge

jumps and jibs, built in the Livigno Snow Park, was to

become their home for four days. „It was an exciting

challenge to finally admit snowboarders“, says Nico

Zacek who founded the event two years ago. „It doesn‘t

make sense to separate freeskiers and snowboarders

anymore but it took us some years to realize this”. The

girls did their best to live up to the high expectations.

From sunrise to sunset riders like Jenny Jones (GBR),

Spencer O‘ Brien (CAN), Silje Norendal (NOR) and Jamie

Anderson (USA) were shredding and shooting. „The

program was amazing, I never had such a relaxed and

productive week“, said Birgit Rofner. „The castle was

huge but built very safely and I had a lot of fun riding it.“

Building this palace of snow had taken three months

from the initial planning until the last dig of a shovel. At

the end a pile of snow measuring 80 meters wide and

20 meters high turned into an impressive feature that

included a huge halfpipe, large kickers and creative jib

elements.

Page 62: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

Four professional photographers and a film

crew followed the „queens“ at every turn as

they proved their skills in fun jam sessions.

Alex Papis who has already captured many

Völkl trips on camera was shooting in Livigno

and thrilled about the concept: „The event was

definitely one of the highlights of my season!

Every day we stayed on the mountain shooting

from the early morning until eight o’clock at

night. I had all my photo equipment with me,

nearly 40 kilos; it was one of the most intensive

and exhausting weeks of the entire winter but

totally worth it – the girls were killing it and I‘m

very happy with the outcome.“

Our Swiss team rider Elena Könz was also more than

stoked about the week proving that she rightfully

belongs in the ranks of Europe’s best snowboarders.

During the big air contest, held as a jam session on

the last day, all of Elena‘s four runs were super clean.

In the end, she came first, with a huge Frontside 720

Melon and a Backside 540 Mute! „Nine Queens is a

unique and very diverse event, focusing less on the

competitive side of things and more on having a fun

and progressive session with each other“, Elena said.

„The sunset sessions were the best: the sun was

starting to disappear behind the mountains, you have

the most beautiful view and then you jump over the

castle; this was unforgettable!“

The format of the Nine Queens is great because a lot of us girls are used to the contest circuit and don’t get the chance to shoot footage too often; especially on a unique feature like the castle that has so much to give visually. For me it was definitely a very fresh, new experience.

When I got an email with the subject ‘Nine Queens Invitation’ last October I first thought this must be a joke. But it was real! I was so much looking forward to this event and it turned out to be the best week of the whole season.

AlexI had already seen pictures from the previous years and knew that it was something really special to be one of the four invited photographers and to document the event. Furthermore the Völkl riders Elena Könz and Birgit Rofner were invited too and I was absolutely sure that they would kill it. They didn‘t disappoint.

TRIAXIAL F IBERGLASS WEAVE IN UPPER AND LOWER BEAM

This special weave consists of fibers that are positioned at a 45° angle (+45°/-45°) in addition to a longitudinal direction. Depending on the density of the woven fibers, torsion and flex are enhanced without increasing the core’s thickness. This reduces weight and en-

hances responsiveness as well as edge grip.

A NEW DIMENSION IN ALL-MOUNTAIN FREESTYLE

Ridden with a low, centered stance much like a skateboard, the Disturbia guarantees amazing board feeling in all terrains. In powder the nose rocker keeps it afloat and eliminates cramp in the back leg, while the playful flex makes jibs and tricks a walk in the park. Also a longer effective edge allows for long carves and sharp turns in the backcountry. Look forward to a

completely new board feel!

For Aline Bock, Michi ‚Stani’ Stanschitz and Ueli Kestenholz there was no better place to go shoot with the new backcountry freestyle board, Alright, than

Chamonix, with its impressive mountains and infinite freeride options.

FREERIDE HEAVENChamonix at the bottom of Europe‘s highest mountain, Mont Blanc,

has the reputation of being a Mecca of freeriding.

Here, you find cliffs as big as

buildings next to easy backcountry

runs, while super narrow and

unimaginably steep couloirs

descend into big open bowls.

Almost everything can be easily

accessed from the lift. The Aiguille

du Midi, Europe‘s second highest

cable car, climbs to 3842 meters,

while Chamonix itself rests on

1008meters.

Aline puts it in a nutshell when she

says that Chamonix has something

mystical, something she can hardly

describe. Even from the village

the surrounding mountains look

overwhelming.

This was Stani’s first time in

Chamonix and he was also

deeply impressed: „It‘s incredible

what kind of lines you can ride

here without much hiking!“

The mountains are huge and on

Also photographer Alex Papis

mentioned a very special vibe that

is everywhere and that he has never

experienced in any other resort in

the Alps: “It is fascinating and scary

at the same time: the monumental

mountains, the steep ridges and

the panorama. Even in the hotels

and bars down in Chamonix there

is only one topic of conversation:

how to climb up and ski down the

mountains in the safest yet the

most extreme way.”

Ueli has been to Chamonix several

times and knows why this place,

with its high alpine lines, is the right

location for a playful backcountry

freestyle board: „You find a lot

of open and diverse backcountry

terrain around Brévent, Flégère and

Les Grands Montets – the perfect

playground for a board like the

Alright!“

every corner you see hardcore

mountaineers with ice axes, ropes

and crampons. Therefore you

should never just follow any tracks

– they could belong to a speed flyer

whose line ends at the top of a

60 meter cliff!”

Page 74: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

Aline The Alright is a very playful

board and offers great

floatation that almost makes

it impossible to get stuck with

the nose while riding powder.

The shape is very unique and

almost resembles a snowboard

from the 80’s. Whether in

powder, the backcountry or on

the slope, the Alright can be

ridden in all conditions!

Stani We found some really cool spots and the Alright was definitely the right board for this photo

shoot. Thanks to the new sidecut with its shortened effective edge the board rides as playfully

as a park board, while the tapered nose provides amazing float in powder. I love doing powder

lines, pillow runs, cliff drops and butter tricks with it!

74

Page 75: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

UeliYou need to ride the Alright a little bit more

centered, like a twin-tip board. Thanks to the

long nose with Freeride Rocker it easily glides

and almost hovers above the surface. Since our

trip to Chamonix I never leave the house without

the Alright when looking for fun powder runs in

the resort or in the backcountry!

Why look elsewhere when all the good stuff is in your backyard? Völkl rider Joe Lax shows us his home turf, British Colombia, at its best: stunningly steep and full of snow.

BIG MOUNTAINS, BIG FUN

Page 78: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

I am drawn to ride steep lines because I

like the challenge, not just from a riding

perspective but also from a timing perspective.

A lot of things need to happen for certain lines

to become rideable: it takes proper weather,

stable snow and a deep enough snowpack to

cover the rocks and glacial holes. The snow

also needs to fall with a certain amount of

density in order for it to stick to terrain this

steep.

If a line is speaking to me, and it is difficult

to get in, I often will rappel in over cliffs and

cornices, to get at the line I want to ride. It

is another variable, and it is fun to overcome

challenges to line up these memorable

moments. When the conditions come together

I push myself to seize these moments because

timing is everything in the big mountains

and you never know when you’ll get another

chance.

One of my favorite areas to ride is the Coast

Mountains, about an hour north of my home,

in Pemberton, BC, which reach up to 2800

meters. My friends and I are normally using

snowmobiles to go up old logging roads. We

push as far as we can go by sled and then

either splitboard or hike to get into the lines.

The mountains aren’t always easy to get to,

and often the weather doesn’t cooperate. It

is always an adventure! The high country in

the Coast Mountains is heavily glaciated and

there are many crevasses to navigate on the

way up and on the way down. It was especially

dangerous this year as the winter started late

and the snowpack was lower than normal, but

this actually made it easier to get onto some of

the bigger lines because in most seasons large

cornices typically close them out.

78

Page 79: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

I have looked at this steep spine line for many years, but it always looked too hard to get onto safely because of a large and very dangerous overhanging cornice. This year, with a bit lower snowpack, I could get right to the edge. I looked in and the line was so steep that it appeared as if it dropped off into a large cliff towards the glacier 700 meters below. It blindly rolled over from the top and I had to trust that the snow had stuck to the rocks and that I was in the right place. The crux of the spine was almost 80 degrees, which is the steepest line I have ever ridden.

Page 80: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

There are many unique ice formations on the Pemberton Ice Cap. I stopped and

looked at this glacier cliff probably a hundred times over the years but other

terrain has always distracted me. When I finally hiked up amongst the huge ice

pillars, to get to the top of the cliff, I felt tiny. I worked my way to the edge and

sent a waterfall of snow off the cliff before I aired off this glacial beauty. It felt like

I was riding onto a large breaking wave. It was a pretty rad moment.

BACKCOUNTRY & POWDER- D IRECT IONAL S IDECUT / MORE SETBACK

- SPEC IAL CONSTRUCT ION & FLEX CONCEPT- ULTRA-L I GHT / COMPLETE CARBON LAYER

- MASS IVE FLOATAT ION

From fresh tracks far from civilization to runs under the lift, there’s no better feeling than chucking roosters in fresh snow. But freeriding is a lot more than just slashing powder. To match personal riding style with terrain, we have three variations of freeride shapes in the Völkl quiver. The core value of all freeride boards is to be lightweight, which we achieve with a complete lower layer of Völkl Premium Carbon in the core, which also adds outstanding response. This is handy on the slopes and in fast tree runs and narrow chutes, where turns have to be precise.

For “Big Mountain & Deep Powder” the SELECTA is the perfect choice of board. The wide nose and extreme Pin-Tail Shape offer tremendous float, while the unique Powder Channel provides the ultimate surf feeling, even on flatter faces. And on powder free days, the Selecta delivers fast edge-to-edge performance to ensure fun on the slopes.

The new ALRIGHT occupies the “Playful Freeride” category. In combination with the hybrid shape the Tapered Nose Geometry provides the shortest effective edge possible for extremely playful riding and excellent float. It is the board of choice for anyone taking their freestyle tricks to the backcountry!

The COAL XT is a great fit for anyone into the domain of “Progressive Freeride”. A firmer flex delivers high speed control, maximum edge hold and direct riding dynamics, while the Nose Rocker and the new nose elevation add extra float.

PLAYFUL FREERIDE PERFECTION

The unique Freeride Hybrid Shape ensures excellent back-country performance through a shortened effective edge. The Alright rides as playfully and rotates as easily as a short park stick but with its special nose shape it also ploughs through powder like the biggest big mountain boards. It’s also easy to control and never catches an edge in challenging conditions,

like crust or changing snow pack as you find off-piste.

VÖLKL PREMIUM CARBON WEAVE / POP 4.0

Especially produced for Völkl these extremely light Premium Carbon fibers in the lower layer make the board particularly strong and lively. The carbon fibers’ tensile strength allows for very short response times and the length-wise integrated fiberglass strips enhance the board’s torsional stiffness and add more pop. This layer, made completely of carbon, adds minimum weight and

provides more smoothness and maximum response.

Page 85: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

Tapered NoseGeometry

The square, tapered form not only provides perfect float but also playfully handles changing snow conditions off piste. With the Tapered Nose the Alright can cut through hard crusts and won’t get stuck even in difficult terrain. The angular segments divert pressure away from the edges, so the nose won’t dig into the snow even in blown out or broken crust. This special geometry also pushes the widest parts of the board toward the middle, shortening the effective edge by at least 30 cm. This gives a 167 model a similar edge length as a 140! You won’t believe the riding pleasure that the Playful Freeride Hybrid Shape with Tapered Nose delivers.

>>> Alright

The right nose shape is just as crucial for riding and board characteristics as any other component in a board. Hence we developed a completely new shape for Winter 2014/15, especially tailored to

the Playful Freeride Hybrid Shape.

Swallow Tail Shapes incorporate a gap in the tail, which resembles the tail of a swallow and makes it softer. This unique riding feel is made perfect by the Powder Channel, a flexible, sturdy synthetic channel that closes the gap in the woodcore. This makes switch riding in powder and on the groomers super easy. The channel’s special scoop also alters the way the snow flows under the board, adding stability like a surfboard fin for that unmistakable surfy

feeling in powder!

THE ACE OF SPRAYS

With the Selecta’s combination of pintail shape and powder rocker, the idea of pow surfing comes to life. While the wide nose floats on top of the snow, the Powder Channel in the tail digs in like a surfboard fin, increasing stability and grip. The ultra-light wood core with all-carbon under belt adds a

new dimension of lightness. No powder? No problem! The setback of the pintail turns the

Selecta into a furious carving machine.

There’s no place on earth as beautiful yet simultaneously so hostile as the remote area at the tip of South America, Patagonia. In the blink of an eye the weather can change, with only minutes between bluebird and whiteout. However, those patient enough to wait for this hot-tempered diva to calm down will be rewarded with the finest powder, virgin lines and steep couloirs. Our team rider Martin ‚Seili‘ Seiler is one such man.

INTO THE WILD

The locals call this line ‚Zebra‘, due to

the many white couloirs and black rock

spines. From our refuge El-Frey it took

us two hours to hike with splitboards,

cross a ridge and climb to reach the drop-

ins of the couloirs. The rough weather in

Patagonia didn‘t make it easy; twice

we had to turn back at the drop-in and

climb back down after strong wind and

fog replaced the morning sunshine. But

the day this picture was shot everything

worked out perfectly and we ripped

the narrow Zebra couloirs. The fickle

conditions made the riding here a very

special experience.

Page 90: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

This area of the Andes, between Chile and Argentina, is the epitome of wild as I found

out during my splitboard trip last summer – with temperatures dropping as low as

-30, howling winds and heavy snowfalls. However, when the wind died and the clouds

disappeared revealing sparkling, fresh powder Patagonia unfolded its untouched beauty

and wilderness. It was exactly these moments that made the long trip to the Southern

hemisphere so worthwhile.

In Bariloche we discovered a Swiss

colony, founded in the 19th century

by immigrants from Switzerland. In

the picture, above my head, you can

see the emblem of my home canton,

Wallis. I didn‘t try the cheese fondue

or other Swiss dishes as I fear these

guys have been away from home

too long, but there’s nothing more

delicious in Argentina than ‚Asados‘

(a special kind of BBQ) of fresh local

meat.

The guy from ‚Into the Wild‘ would die on his first day in Patagonia“ say the locals. “

Page 91: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

On this day we enjoyed fresh powder and spray after spray in front of a stunning backdrop,

until strong winds pushed in the clouds in the afternoon; we surrendered and went fly-

fishing on the lake in the background. This was Patagonia at it’s best! If I learnt one thing

here, it was that when it comes to weather conditions you have to be flexible.

Short hike just before enjoying the aforementioned turns.

Home Sweet Home: our refuge El–Frey (2500 meters above sea level) that provided us with

countless faces and lines, set on fire by the evening sun, as in this picture.

Splitboarding is a lot more than just a breathtaking hike followed by untracked runs. It is a total immersion into the beauty of nature, far from noise, and tourist trails. Every tour is an intense experience and the descent an unforgettable adventure.

As mountain folks say: “THE SPIRITS RISE IN THE ENDLESS VASTNESS OF THE MOUNTAINS”. And to ensure that you can rise to the occasion to, Völkl has developed the Untrac Splitboard, which is power efficient, easy and straightforward to handle.

Cold hands are a thing of the past with the unique VÖLKL SKIN PIN SYSTEM, as it eliminates unnecessary fumbling. Simply hook the integrated pin into the eyelet in the nose and fix it with a 90° twist, while the other end is fixed to the hook in the tail with a rubber fastener. The skins for the UNTRAC Splitboard feature a special VACUUM-BASE TECHNOLOGY, which sticks to the base even in extremely cold temperatures. After hiking simply stick them together, without having to use a separating foil, and stow them fuss-free in your backpack.

The Untrac also comes with the pre-mounted VOILÉ SPLIT KIT, with dual climbing aids. This enables you to change from snowboard to splitboard, as well as swap the bindings, in just a few steps and while keeping gloves on! At the same time the new FREERIDE HYBRID SHAPE with camber between the bindings offers perfect hold on hard pack on the run down, as well as on the hike up. For especially icy traverses the teeth of the crampons on the FASTEC SPLITEC ALU Bindings offer extra grip. Thanks to the integrated Slider Track they are easily mountable on the way up, while strapped in and with gloves on: simply lift the heel, insert the crampons from behind and secure them with a click. After use they can be dismounted just as easily by pulling a little lever, without getting out of the bindings.

Secluded summits, untracked powder as far as they eyes can see and experienced guides who know exactly where to find the best lines: The Völkl Split & Freeride Camps offer their participants the chance to explore the best backcountry of the Alps together with Völkl team riders!

SPL ITBOARD ADVENTURES

Page 100: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

The first Völkl Split & Freeride Camp set

up its base at the Gradonna Mountain

Resort in Kals, Austria. Accommodated

in luxury chalets with a stunning view

over the mountains and the 3798 meter

Großglockner, the weekend was a

highlight for all participants.

After the official welcome by team

rider and camp initiator Aline Bock, on

Friday afternoon, the first theory lesson

went down, informing the participants

about avalanche knowledge and risk

management. The next morning was the

perfect bluebird weather and the group

headed for the summit equipped with

the new Völkl Untrac Splitboard 2014/15

and accompanied by two local guides

and Völkl riders Martin Seiler and Peter

Walchhofer.

A lift took them directly

from the chalet into the

resort and the starting

point of their tour, which

would lead them to the

summit of the 2762 meter

mountain, Roter Kogel. „The

snow conditions were not

easy. We had everything,

crusty layers, fresh powder

and soaked spring snow,

but thanks to helpful tips

on efficient climbing and

the perfect switchback

technique everyone reached

the summit“, recalled Patrick Schökel from

splitboarding.eu Journal. „Taking a group

photo on the summit turned out to be a bit of

difficult task as there were steep cliffs falling

off all sides. However, looking at Austria‘s

highest mountain, the

Großglockner, and the

surrounding 62 3000 meter

peaks from a ‚no-fall zone‘

made the panorama all the

more incredible!“

After business comes

pleasure: while one part

of the group went for an

easy run down, the rest

picked a steeper North face

and scored big. „Despite

the warm temperatures

we found fluffy powder“,

remembered Völkl rider Peter Walchhofer.

From steep, rocky couloirs to open slopes and

endless untracked faces, there was something

for everyone. After an incredible day on the

splitboard the participants returned to the

Fantastic panorama with 62 Three-Thousanders...

Page 102: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

hotel with big smiles and the prospect of

refilling their batteries in the spa area, with

extensive sauna and whirlpool sessions. For

the evening Aline Bock scheduled another

workshop about the daily life of a snowboard

pro, showing pictures and videos pointing out

alpine dangers in the mountains.

Sunday morning the weather conditions upset

the camp plans. Strong wind and low visibility

rendered another attempt at the summit

impossible but these are the conditions in

which the splitboard plays its trump card:

adaptability. When exposed terrain becomes

too dangerous because of challenging weather

or snow conditions you can still have a lot of fun

on easy climbs in the more protected zones!

The first Völkl Split & Freeride Camp ended

with a mellow tour to a cosy mountain lodge

at 2000 meters. After a traditional lunch of

regional delicacies and homemade pizza the

group trained in avalanche rescue, digging out

buried beepers as fast as possible. Even if you

are an experienced freerider it is essential to

train in the handling of a beeper, so if you get

caught in an avalanche you know exactly what

to do.

A successful day and a more than memorable

splitboard weekend ended with some fun tree

runs and easy pillow lines.

„I was already overwhelmed when I entered my room, as from the bed I had the most incredible mountain panorama.“ (Aline Bock)

Omar Visintin from South Tyrol, Italy, loves speed and not only on the boardercross course. After the 24-year-

old won his first World Cup, at the beginning of last season, he kept winning contests and at the end of the winter

was awarded the crystal ball for the SBX World Cup title. This was the highlight of what has been an extremely

successful career for Omar, which began when he was only twelve years old, participating in his first snowboard

contest. „From that moment I knew that I wanted to become a snowboard pro one day“, says Omar, who also won

the World Junior Championships in 2009. „This season has definitely been the most important for me as besides

participating at the Olympic Games and winning the World Cup title I also became Italian Champion“, he explains.

And the board that is always on his side in competitions is the Coal Race.

CHECK OUT OMARS COAL RACE REVIEW

In the World Cup, Omar Visintin totally trusts the

Coal Race: „I owe my results to this super fast board!

It‘s very easy to ride and very stable despite its light

weight. On the flat the board glides, it carves when

it’s turned and shows great response in the technical

parts of the slope.“ The new Coal Race is equipped

with special vibration absorbers specifically designed

for racers, which guarantees stability and perfect

control. The Pin-Tail Shape, with extra wide nose

and extra big radius makes speed junkies’ heart miss

a beat. „I can recommend this board to anyone“,

says Omar; „no matter if you are into racing or just a

passionate rider the Coal Race is the perfect choice

for anyone who loves speed and pushes their limits.“

The Völkl Race Lab designed this machine of a board for one purpose: reaching the fastest speed possible! It was originally developed for professional racing, but can now happily accompany all speed junkies on their personal races on the hills. With special vibration absorbers created for World Cup missions, it rides smoothly and offers full control. A combination of an ultra lightweight construc-tion with carbon belt and VRL split base provides the Coal with super fast acceleration. Something team riders Omar Visintin and Mateusz Ligocki have proved with several BX

World Cup victories.

This exceptional base combination was created using the best-known materials but is the secret to the fastest and best to pre pare bases on the market. The materials beside P-Tex 4500 World Cup and extraordinarily scratch-resistant side strips of P-Tex 5000 will

remain a dark secret.

In 2014/15 Völkl has applied racing technology’s Ultimate Vibration Object for the first time, making the Coal Race as smooth and stable as possible. This special, three dimensional UVO vibration damper is built into the nose, where it moves freely and effectively, countering all bumps and blows with its own mass. On the one hand this increases stability, while on the other it enhances acceleration as well as edge hold, as the contact between the edge and the ground is maintained for longer. On top of this it also makes the board more agile, so requiring less input at high speed. Despite the comparatively small mass and dimension of

the UVO, the dampening is superb.

CHECK YOURSELF

BEFORE YOU WRECK YOURSELF !

Big mountain lines, huge kicker jumps and crazy rail tricks are a matter of course in snowboard magazines and videos, suggesting the pros find their

job a walk in the park. However, what you don‘t get to see are the moments when the riders decide against a certain spot or a trick, as even the best skills are sometimes not enough. When snow conditions, weather or an individual’s mental or physical state is disputable, pros should have the

courage to say no. In the end, nobody wants to spend a winter on crutches instead of on a snowboard, right?

108

Page 109: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

Chris Kröll has been a professional snowboarder for

13 years and has only suffered two major injuries in

all that time. In his opinion this is due to the fact that

he always trusts his gut instinct and never takes a

spot as easy. „I‘m never scared of a spot but I always

have respect and try to imagine all possible scenarios.

Take your time while building the spot, thoroughly

check the landing and do one more spot check if not

sure. I also always ask the other riders what they

think about the spot, the speed and the landing; each

opinion is like a small piece of the puzzle and helps to

create an entire picture”. This is the essential rule for

Chris: never rush anything as stress makes you take

the wrong decisions. „If the sun is almost gone or

anything else upsets your plans, it is better to jump

the spot the next day. The resulting shot will be all the

better for it!“

Völkl team rider Patrick Cinca has similar advice:

„Normally the concentration level drops in the

afternoon; that‘s when you should have a break or just

stop riding as in my opinion the risk of an injury rises

significantly during those hours. I’ve suffered most of

my injuries at the end of a long session because I was

too ambitious and wanted to stick a trick at all costs.

If you have doubts, don‘t do it! Playing the cool guy

can doom you.“

But even if you do everything right, things can go

awfully wrong. This is what happened to Aline Bock.

The 31-years-old, who won the Freeride World Tour in

2010, is no dare devil and always thinks twice before

dropping into a face or cliff. „I don‘t need adrenaline

and am no adrenaline junkie, instead I‘m trying to

minimize the risks. In freeriding the danger is always

present, no matter if it‘s avalanches or major injuries

that can happen in the backcountry. Your experience

helps you to handle the risks but you will never be

able to avoid crashes, they will always be a part of

snowboarding“ says Aline who had to learn the hard

way last season. After a cliff drop she landed on a

rock lurking under the fresh powder and completely

smashed her knee.

Something you also don‘t get to see too often in the

mags and videos is the hard training that the pros do.

No rider could keep up with today‘s incredible high

level of riding if he didn’t go to the gym or do regular

laps around the lake in summer: „If you want to

snowboard on a serious level for a long time you have

to work on your general fitness and do other kinds of

sports, too“, explains Chris Kröll. „Other boardsports

like surfing or skating are perfect as they train the

same muscles and your sense of balance. You should

also do some strength training to boost certain groups

of muscles.“ But even more important for Chris is the

warm up before and stretching after each session: „At

best this will help prevent you from any therapy or

rehabilitation training!“

Actually it‘s pretty simple: start with the basics, slowly

work your way from trick to trick, don‘t fight above

your weight and be bold enough to say no. There are

enough yes-people...

Even if pros, with years of experience, know exactly what they are doing, prepare their body with regular exercises

and try difficult tricks on the trampoline or in the foam pit until perfection, a degree of risk always remains. This is

especially true when pushing the limits of the sport. Last season, Aline Bock, Michael ‚Stani‘ Stanschitz and Chris

Kröll did their job as usual but were unfortunately forced to end their winter in the hospital.

Page 110: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

Aline BockIt happened at the beginning of January, in Chamonix.

Stani, Ueli Kestenholz and I had found a spot where

several cliff drops led into a nice landing. The powder

that we had thoroughly checked with our probes

before seemed deep and perfect. After each of us had

jumped several times, I wanted to give it a last try. I

did a perfect Method, but when I landed I hit a „shark“

that was buried ten centimeters underneath the

snow, half a meter next to my last landing, which was

as soft as a pillow. There was a bang, a shock went

through my leg and smashed the head of my tibia into

several pieces.

I had the feeling that I did nothing wrong; I was

probably just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now I‘m facing eight months of rehabilitation with

mobilization, coordination, cardio and strength

training. I will fight to come back physically and

mentally stronger than ever as snowboarding was

and still is my biggest passion.

Michael ‚Stani‘ StanschitzIt was quite late in the afternoon but I really wanted

to do this gap over a river, which had a pretty sketchy

in-run. As the sun was starting to disappear behind

the hill I had to hurry. As I reached the take off I knew

I was too slow but it was too late to stop. Somehow

I made it to the other side of the gap but landed too

short, slipped off the landing, and fell eight meters

into a riverbed.

Snowboarding is an extreme sport and no matter

how careful you are, a certain risk always remains.

However, you can try to minimize that risk. We should

have called it a day and come back the next morning.

The building of the spot had taken more time than we

had planned and the spring snow had become so wet

and slow in the afternoon that I couldn‘t get enough

speed. My conclusion: despite careful planning and

evaluation you should never rush anything!

110

Page 111: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

Chris KröllThe day in Livigno somehow felt strange from the beginning. It was a

very big kicker; you had to jump 28 meters before reaching the landing!

First we watched the skiers who were shooting before us. Each of them

was jumping way too far and we weren‘t sure how much speed we

would need. When it was finally our turn around 3.30 in the afternoon

Seppe Smith jumped first and went huge. 30 minutes later still none of

our team had followed him and finally I pushed myself and dropped in

on Seppe‘s line. However, I wanted to do one more speed check to not

jump as far as he did. At the take off I was preparing for a backside 3

to check out the kicker but after half the rotation I saw the landing in

front of me and knew I was too short and about to crash on the table. It

crossed my mind that I had to aim for a controlled crash in order to not

break both my legs and arms and seconds later it had already happened.

Surprisingly, I didn‘t injure my ligaments or knees due to my controlled

crash and „only“ dislocated my heel breaking two metatarsal bones.

In extreme sports you can never completely eliminate the risk but I owe

it to my gut instinct that I only suffered two major injuries in 13 years

of professional snowboarding. Never lose respect for a spot, even if it

looks easy; it can easily go down the drain.

The Fastec System not only offers the perfect mixture of freedom and response, but also the fastest entry to

a binding you could ever wish for.

Page 115: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

Simply engage the highback lever, close the Auto-Release

Buckles and off you go.

For fine-tuning on the mountain, the Fastec Prime Alu, Fastec Choice Alu and Fastec Utopia feature extra

Micro Pump Buckles. Like classic strap bindings, they offer additional

support before a big drop or kicker.

>>> Fastec Prime Alu / Fastec Choice Alu / Fastec Splitec Alu / Fastec Utopia / Fastec Vision / Fastec Vision Jr. / Fastec Vision Kids

--------------------------------

You can also slightly unfasten the straps and add a bit more freedom for relaxed pow surfing.

After a run the Auto-Release System automatically widens the ankle strap once the highback is opened; this is especially handy for pushing on long cat tracks, allowing for super quick strapping in and unstrapping.

Once adjusted to fit boots and personal riding style, the straps fit snugly for the rest

of the season.

FROM KIRGISTAN WITH LOVE

In March 2014 the charity Cappuccino Club embarked on a 6000km trip, from Innsbruck to Kirgistan, to visit partners and film a documentary about this developing country, on the border to China. As well as their camera equipment the crew took their snowboards...

130

Page 131: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)
Page 132: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

Sitting together drinking cups of

cappuccino in 2008, a handful of

snowboarders from Innsbruck came up

with the idea of founding a snowboard club

with a difference: its aim to help people

living in poorer countries. Since its was

started the Cappuccino Club has organized

several charity projects collecting money

for different social activities. In 2011 a

snowboard calendar brought in more than

€17.000, of which 100% went into micro

projects in Kirgistan. Völkl Snowboards has

supported the calendar from the beginning

and was happy to hear that the club was

planning to film a documentary and visit

their partners last winter.

Alois, one of the founders of the

Cappuccino Club, has been working for a

charity organization in Kirgistan for the

last two years and was accompanying

the small group from Innsbruck on its

trip, which led them from the capital

Bishkek to the snowy mountains that

cover almost 94% of the country. The

first stop was Suusamyr, a pass 3300

meter above sea level, surrounded by a

sparse and surreal landscape of snow.

„Snow scientists would have been stoked

to see this natural spectacle“, filmer

Niki Waltl recalls. „The strong wind was

literally shooting fresh snow continuously

through the whole valley, blowing it off

the ridges and creating surreal patterns

in the landscape.“ Despite the difficult

snow conditions the group got out their

splitboards and scored untracked powder

fields and a unique panoramic view over

endless mountain ranges.

Page 134: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

After a week of fun shreds in the resort of Too-

Ashu, and a few kicker sessions with the locals,

they had to return to civilization as they had

scheduled interviews and meetings with local

charity organizations. On their way back into

town they were passing a field where locals

were competing in a polo tournament and

could hardly believe what they saw: instead of

a ball the two equestrian teams were trying to

knock a headless goat into the opposing goal!

Different strokes for different folks...

But there were not only cultural differences

between the visitors and visited. In the city

of Karakol, in the Eastern part of the country,

poverty was omnipresent. Since the collapse of

the Soviet Union there had been little progress.

“This city has its very own charm though“,

says Cappuccino Club‘s Hannes Fritzer.

„Surrounded by giant mountains and criss-

crossed by large streets you feel a certain kind

of Soviet nostalgia. It‘s almost like Cuba, with

its beautiful old buildings but totally fucked up.

Everywhere is in need of money there.“

Despite its poverty and sparse landscape

Kirgistan is a stunningly beautiful country, with

extremely lovely and hospitable people. After

two incredible weeks in this different world

it was time to leave: „It will definitely take

some time to handle all these impressions.

Tomorrow we fly back to our First World that

we will now view with different eyes. Traveling

educates; that‘s what we have learnt from this

trip“, said Hannes Fritzer before their return

to Innsbruck, where the Cappuccino Club is

already working on their next project, a Charity

Banked Slalom...

At ISPO 2014, Völkl Snowboards was awarded for their continued efforts in the field of

ecological production processes. GreenRoomVoice, a Swiss company that developed

an independent ranking system evaluating the ecological performance of outdoor and

boardsports brands gave Völkl an overall score of good. The so-called ECOrating helps

consumers to identify responsible products and enables them to make an educated

choice: „Coming from conventional production methods, Völkl has turned their business

and product design practices in a more sustainable direction“, GreenRoomVoice co-

founder Cira Riedel explains. „Hardware and apparel from Völkl have been monitored by

GreenRoomVoice ECOrating for several seasons and show continuous improvements.

Considering all aspects of ECO Design, Völkl has invested into process and material

improvements to continuously optimize the best balance between technical performance

and ecological costs.“

We are as pleased as chips with our score but won‘t rest on our laurels and continue to

question and improve our production processes.

CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility

As winter sports enthusiasts, we’re more dependent on the preservation of our global eco system than

ever before. To retain the white gold in our mountains, it’s not enough to make a couple of products “eco

friendly”. Genuine ecologic production requires sustainability in the whole of the company, from production

to sales. Völkl has taken this to heart a long time ago and has continuously evolved their efforts in all areas

ever since. This includes everything from choice of raw materials and resources, to their treatment and

manufacturing, up to the employees in organization, development and distribution.

“Environmental awareness” includes a lot more than augmenting the range with some prime examples for “eco friendliness”.

This starts with production and manufacturing, where pollution and output of toxins as well as use of other

noxious substances are steadily reduced. As far as possible, harming materials such as plastics and solvents

are replaced by recycled products or organic alternatives. And with their social commitment towards

humanity, it comes full circle. All Völkl employes have various options to improve their work-life-balance

through the Völkl Moves program and a number of charity projects are supported by the company and the

team as well.

Hence the products created aren’t only progressive and innovative, but at the same time socially viable,

conscious and future-proof.

For example:

edges from recycled steel

recycled base materials

prints with water based colors

wood cores from sustainable forestry

pollutant-reduced production & manufacturing

- e.g. no overspray

minimized use of resins and other toxins

minimized water use & recycling in factories

optimized packing with eco-friendly materials

chlorine free wood & paper

ISO energy efficiency standard

DEAD ENDWhat should you do when there’s no snow in the valley at the end of the season and most of the resort is already closed? It‘s pretty simple, rent a camper, head for the snowy mountain passes and start exploring the backcountry with a splitboard or build a kicker next to the street! That‘s what Völkl riders Simon Pircher, Peter Walchhofer and Marc Großgasteiger did at the end of last season. Together with photographer Alex Papis and filmer Balint they spent ten days in a very small space but with a lot of creative freedom.

146

Page 147: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

„Our plan was to drive around the mountain passes

in Austria, Italy and Switzerland and find spots that

were accessible without a lift or gondola“, explained

photographer Alex Papis the road trip, which started

in Innsbruck and led the group to Italy on the first day.

At Passo Tonale, which perches at almost 2000 meters

above sea level they quickly found a spot but it was

already late in the afternoon so they decided to shoot

it the next day and built a bonfire under the starry

sky instead. „With a camper you are so flexible and

independent; you can just stop anywhere. I felt very

close to the nature“, Marc Großgasteiger said about

the trip. The crew spent the next day shaping a corner

and started hitting at sunset. Sand from the Sahara

that had blown across the Alps a week before had

dyed the snow yellow and provided a unique setting.

The next day the crew started up the camper again

and headed towards Livigno on the Swiss border.

On their way to the Eira Pass the riders discovered a

wooden MTB vert, which turned out to be the perfect

handplant spot! After a great session they continued

their journey into Switzerland and stopped at Julier

Pass. Exploring the backcountry with their splitboards,

the riders soon found a nice natural quarter and had a

fun session, which resulted in great shots.

Another day, another mountain pass: on their way

to the 2300 meter high Bernina Pass, which connects

Switzerland with Italy, the crew found numerous

creative features but in the end went for a „rainbow

tree“ and a corner with an extremely icy landing that

wasn‘t easy to ride.

The next stop was the Ofen Pass, which offered better

snow conditions: „This was my personal highlight of

the trip“, Peter Walchhofer said. „We brought a BBQ

and guitar, built a fun kicker and had an incredible

session with a lot of backflips, tweaks and beers.“

After a successful day and a week without a shower

the crew had rightly earned a visit to the hot springs of

Meran, in South Tyrol, and enjoyed their escape from

the confines of the camper.

Despite a not very promising weather forecast for

the next days the group was still keen on checking

out one last pass. Like the pot of gold at the end of

the rainbow, the riders found a real gem at the end

of the closed pass: „We drove to the dead end of the

mountain pass, hiked up a little and suddenly saw all

these incredible features“, remembered Alex Papis.

„Unfortunately the snow was already too bad to hit

them but we will definitely come back next year. Until

then I will keep this little shred paradise a secret“.

We are looking forward to the sequel of this road trip!

Simon Pircher„We hit a different spot almost every day, which

sometimes also involved a bit of hiking. After a few

days the inside of our camper didn‘t smell too nice. I

think everyone would agree if I say that our visit to the

hot springs in Meran was a good idea. Overall it was

an incredibly cool and productive trip and the perfect

way to end the season!“

Marc Grossgasteiger„The trip with the camper was definitely something different. You are so

flexible and independent. Living with five people in a small room for ten

days was something you need to get used to. You have to adapt to the

group and also show respect to the others. But we quickly got along and

had a lot of fun together.“

Page 150: STEAZE - Völkl Snowboards magalog 14/15 (English)

Alex Papis„The session with BBQ, beers and backflips was

definitely the funniest! The sun was shining, the

kicker was easy to build and the boys were doing

backflips and tweaks over the grill. This is how we

had imagined the trip from the beginning!“

Peter Walchhofer„Our first stop was the Passo Tonale in Italy. After we

found a spot for the next day we spent a nice evening

in front of the campfire drinking beers. Unfortunately

we didn‘t know our camper too well and had to spent

the night without heating.“
