Hats off the terrain park designers/crews and athletes who descended upon Crans-Montana, Switzerland to make The Nines 2022 another incredibly successful year of groundbreaking skiing and snowboarding. The unconventional action-sports happening featured downward spirals, shreddable light bulbs, future spins, and a handful of world’s first tricks. Here’s a quick recap of the highlights:
Special shoutout to Japanese rider Reira Iwabuchi who landed the world’s first frontside triple 1260 by a woman, Canadian rider Laurie Blouin nailed the second-ever women’s cab triple 1260 and 16-years-old Hiroto Ogiwara who landed the world’s first backside 2160.
