VACAYZION

Denmark | Active: 2021-present public record | Known for: Bungee Break, Sushi Buffet, Frozen Babiez | Discipline: street skiing, creative park and film projects Helsinki’s Thin Snow Window Helsinki, Finland, 2023. Warm weather had narrowed the usable snow around the city’s urban features when Isabella Tvede-Jensen, Ellen Damsgaard and Maya Casier began filming Sushi Buffet. Skis, rails and rough landings replaced the comfort of a shaped park; each usable approach had to be built from what the streets and the weather allowed.... Read more on the Athlete page

Denmark | Active: 2010s-present public record | Known for: Danish street skiing, DM Big Air title, double cork 1260, Natural Ice, Bungee Breakers | Current: Danish freeski scene rider Umeå Rails And The Danish Street Thread Umeå and Sundsvall gave Jakob Ahlers the kind of winter surface Denmark rarely guarantees: real snow against city rails, cold approaches, and enough urban texture for a full-length street project. In “Promised Land,” Ahlers appears inside the Bungee Breakers crew, far from a conventional resort contest lane. That is the clearest way to frame him.... Read more on the Athlete page

Copenhagen, Denmark | Active street skier, filmmaker, event organizer | Known for: Common Language, Tell Me I Belong, LINE x CopenHill, Natural Ice, Scandinavian Team Battle | Main lane: street skiing, dryslope culture, European film crews Stockholm Rails After Dark The Stockholm streets were cold, hard, and bright under city lamps, with handrails cutting through patches of winter snow like metal lines on a map. Jakob Ebskamp stood inside that setting for Tell Me I Belong, not only as a skier, but as the person shaping the film around five European friends. The project followed Christian Moser, Jonas Hofer, Christian Gander, Markus Boa, and Ebskamp through a street-skiing trip built on rails, crashes, jokes, injuries, and small windows of usable snow....

Denmark | Active: 2015-present public record | Known for: Danish freestyle ski scene, DM slopestyle and big air, film trips with Danish crews | Current: ski-video and scene-linked rider Avoriaz Sun And A Cork 900 Safety The Avoriaz park was bright in Easter sun when Denmark’s freestyle scene gathered in 2019. Rune Bach dropped into that French spring setup as part of a small Danish field where every landing mattered, the snow was softening, and the scoreboard still had room for a tall skier with style. Bach’s clearest competition marker comes from the 2019 Danish Freestyle Skiing and Snowboarding Championships in Avoriaz.... Read more on the Athlete page

Canadian freeski province from the Coast Mountains to the Rockies | Known for: Whistler Blackcomb scale, Interior powder, Kicking Horse freeride, Rogers Pass touring, BC film culture | Season: late November to April with spring park and alpine windows | Best for: freeriders, park crews, storm chasers, and backcountry skiers planning multi-resort trips Coast Mountains Scale Meets Interior Storm Cycles The Coast Mountains rise above Whistler with Whistler-Blackcomb listing 8,171 acres, 200 plus marked runs, 16 alpine bowls, and 3 glaciers across two linked mountains. That single footprint explains only half of the province. British Columbia stretches from the Sea to Sky corridor into the Selkirks, Monashees, Purcells, Okanagan Highlands, and Canadian Rockies, so one winter trip can move from maritime storm snow to colder Interior powder without leaving the same province....

It is a Danish freeski and snowboard crew that grew from a simple idea: make something of their own with riders, cameras, street spots and the kind of DIY energy that usually appears before the industry notices. The official story places the start in 2021, when the crew broke onto the scene with urban riding, old handycam footage and fisheye visuals that felt closer to skate videos than polished resort marketing....

Pacific Northwest handwear brand | Founded in 2002 after a Washington ski-resort road trip | Known for: gloves, mitts, triggers, liners, GORE TEX inserts, Grade A leather and Built To Last construction | Focus: durable hand protection for skiing and snowboarding in wet storms, cold resort laps and all-day mountain use Washington storm days gave POW its handwear mission POW Gloves is a ski and snowboard handwear brand born from the Pacific Northwest problem of cold, wet hands. The idea first formed on a road trip to a ski resort in Washington State, where heavy snow and damp mountain weather made reliable gloves feel less like an accessory and more like survival equipment for a good day riding. Founder Dustin Goss developed the company in 2002, and the first small run was sold from the back of a car to local riders in Pacific Northwest resort parking lots.... Read more on the Sponsor page
