Xavier Schumacher
Conocido por hacer las cosas siempre diferente a otras personas. Adicto a la nieve, esquiará en cualquier condición! Según él, mayo-junio son los mejores meses porque comienzas a esquiar en la nieve y terminas en la hierba 🙂
Meet Schumi
Parsa Frutiger
“Freeriding for me is chasing lines out in the wild, fully present, full focus, full speed — nothing else in your head”
Meet Parsa
Sascha Schmid
Sascha grew up on skis, his parents had a holiday home in the mountains, the next lift was not far away. So it came that Sascha completed his first ski race at the age of six. 15 years later, with some FIS races in his backpack, it was crystal clear to him that the best skiing would not take place on the slopes but next to them.
Since then some snow has fallen and melted, Sascha became Freerider Pro, started at some Freeride Worldtour (IFSA) and Redbull Snowthrills in Europe and North America and skied cross on WC level. Since 2004 Sascha also runs his own Bike & Freeski shop „Free-Mountain“ in Thun

Sylvain Streuli
Not born but pretty much raised in the valley ! Passionate skier and snowboarder as well as an occasional freeheeler. I am deeply in love with the beauty of a nice curve drawn on a blank canvas … With or without an ice axe in the hand, dream pow or shitty crust, I am always the happiest guy when I can glide !
Meet Sylvain
César Pittex
Former alpine skier turned freerider several years ago. I’ve often trained in ski moutnereering on the Oldenhorn and perfected my alpine style at the bottom of the Olden slope. I love fast freeriding, but also steep slopes and being able to combine mountaineering, skiing and “performance” (on the way up).
Meet César
Noé Pittex
As a lover of the Ormonts valley, I love discovering its secrets. Whether skiing, PowSurfing or paragliding, there’s always something special to explore. A line, an image or an encounter punctuates my rides!
Meet Noé
Tim Beinert
Highly addicted to the natural force of water – frozen or liquid. In the winter time, freeriding is for me the most rewarding way to constantly challenge myself in a new way. No day is like the other and there are always new things to discover.
Favio Marfurt
Splitboarding is Flavio’s passion. Long days in the mountains, earning turns and chasing lines – that’s what it’s all about.
Meet Flavio
Andre Mendes & Andre Dos Santos
When one isn’t up on the rooftops or in his milling machine and the other isn’t under a chassis, the most Portuguese of the Ormonans are somewhere in the mountains, putting the world to rights with their buddies! Dédé leads the way, while Mendes makes sure everyone stays safe. A natural bond between these two locals
Stefan Neuhaus
Powder snow is freedom—free from worries, free in nature
