How was last year Filming For Standard? The last year
filming for Standard Films was not so much fun. For some reason I did
not make it in the main movie. I also put a lot of my energy into
filming with Burton for Thanks in Advance. Check it out; we have filmed
a whole segment about Saas Fee, my home resort.
Tell us a little bit about Arcuswear? Arcus was founded in the year 2000 byNicolas Müller and Frederik Kalbermatten and 2 more guys. We first started with a T-Shirt line. Today we have 2 large collections per year wich we distribute In Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Spain, England, USA, Japan and Russia.
Why do you ride the Burton Custom? I ride the Custom X 160. It is a very light board so I don`t need a longer board than 160 in deep powder. The board is my favorite and the best I have ever ridden. I really love the lightness and the flex of the Custom X
Pretty much everywhere was hurting last year for snow. How was Saas Fee? Saas Fee was ok. Definitely not the best Year but Saas Fee is very high, the whole resort is kind of north facing and there is glaciers which helps the snow to keep fresh for more than just a couple of days. When filming in Saas Fee last Winter we went with a mountain guide into glacier terrain were we’ve had very good powder.
Do you follow any type of work out Routine? No. I just want to eat good food and get enough sleep before a big day.
Do you Skate or Suf? I gave up skateboarding for Djing (hip hop). In Surfing I am still a rookie. I have mad respect for the ocean. I like rock small and easy waves. The feeling is so much fun.
Do you Snowboard with music on? Who rocks your I-pod? I don’t like to snowboard with music because I want to have a clear mind without any distraction while riding serious. And especially in the backcountry I need to be able to hear what is going on. Only when I go ride alone at home. sometimes I bring my Ipod. I listen to DJ Fredi K Mixtape.
