Hey

Spring is in full force with most European and North American resorts closing for the season, but that doesn't mean there isn't some more Winter to cling onto…?

Scroll on for next season inspiration, a Nines recap, athlete news and a Community Spotlight - this month's edition is more packed than the first lift on pow day ?

Catch you on the mountain!

P.S. Give me a buzz and let me know what you think of the Newsletters, or what you would like to see more of. I read and respond to all replies.

Fine Lines at the Nines

End of season means only one thing - The Nines! Dope Snow crew Steep, Marco, Bruce and Pabs had the pleasure of hitting this year's masterpiece of a course. With the world first Sit-skiing Cork 360 by Jay Rawe and one of the largest trains this season - there was plenty going down in Switzerland.

Check out the highlights from Steep for a flavour of what went down.

Brits Abroad 

Throwback to the start of April, and the Brits in Mayrhofen. Community legend, and 12 year old, Max Bax was riding in the Under 16's category. That didn't stop him from taking home bronze in the Slopestyle and Big Air.

A very successful British Championship for an upcoming rider to key your eyes out for ?.
