La Zone - A legendary European backcountry snowboarding area (Full Film)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 гру 2022
- In the early 2000's, snowboard filmer David 'Vlad' Vladyka and a handful of riders discovered an off-the-radar area on the French-Swiss border that held massive potential for shooting freestyle snowboarding. The mountain pass featured rolling terrain punctuated by steep roll overs that are perfect for building jumps. The area was Le Col de Cou, and though it had a name, the riders called it 'La Zone', a purposefully vague nickname that would help them keep the area a secret.
Over the next decade, La Zone would become one of the most productive and standard setting locations for filming freestyle snowboarding in all of Europe. Shots from La Zone were featured in several Absinthe films, and many others.
Now 20 years later, Jones team rider Mat Schaer and Vlad still return to La Zone to film from time to time, but the pristine slopes they enjoyed in the past are much harder to find as Le Col de Cou has become a popular ski touring destination.
Featuring new and historic footage from La Zone, this new short film directed by Julien Rosens, and produced by Absinthe Films, highlights the history, beauty and inevitable evolution of this legendary shred spot.

This is exactly the kind of movies we need in snowboarding! Thank you for making this!
As a kid growing up in CO, Absinthe films stood above the rest for me. I watched Vivid on dvd until it literally broke our family dvd player. Romain De marchi, Müller, Wolle, JP solberg, Gigi, Tristan Picot (Rip) and of course J2. These were the guys and style of riding I emulated for so many years. It’s what got me out into the backcountry and just building jumps with friends. Thank you Absinthe, for all you’ve given me and your contribution to the sport
Amen to that. Luck gave me the opportunity to cover Burton events, and I was much more stoked to meet Mueller than White or Jones, just because Mueller rode how I wished I could, more than the other awesome riders I got to spend time and drink with.
@@jean-yvesterreault6621 I guess Mueller rides how we all wish to ride :) it's basically "how it's supposed to look" !
Nico's part in Vivid....Where we going now?
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
THIS, totally agree bro!!
More style thrown down in the first 5 mins than all of 2022 combined!
Génération absinthe film 🤙🤙la meilleure des époques…nostalgie…
Toujours bien de voir des vidéos Absinthe. Gigi. Wolle. Crépel. Romain. Que de beaux souvenirs.

And I raise my glass to the new generation keep pushing the envelope, you’re beautiful to watch.
Absinthe movies put everyone else to shame back in those days, legendary.
La grande époque du snowboard coincide avec une période de fun de liberté et de découverte permanente de nouvelles sensations....aujourd'hui la cabane secrète se transforme en buvette snack bar pour randonneurs...la messe est dite mais qu'importe ce que vous nous avez apporté en terme de rêverie poudreuse ne disparaitra jamais. Merci pour tout aux pionniers du snowboard !
Incredible film! The cinematography and music were perfect 👌🏻
