In the first winter to show the undeniable effects of global warming, Absinthe Films has explored the effects of a changing planet. For those who live to snowboard, these changes can be perceived as impossible challenges or creative opportunities. Absinthe reconfirms it's ability to find the best conditions when the rest have given up or resigned themselves to the park. Following fifteen individuals through their interpretation of this winter, Absinthe forges another unforgettable snowboard film with it's newest release.

Zudem haben die Luder des Backcountry Freestyle Zuwachs bekommen – Nachdem es Gigi Rüf, RDM, Nicolas Müller, MFM und den Jungs anscheinend fad wurde, luden sie sich gleich mal noch Jeremy Jones, Björn Leines und den guten alten Nate Bozung in den Hubschrauber um einfach mal wieder die tightesten lines der Arktis zu shredden.
