Every year Burton's Stash Park, a creative terrain park constructed from natural materials and designed to blend into the environment, in Avoriaz, hosts the Stash Gathering. Pros, seasonnaires and visiting tourists gather to shred the park and win one of Frances most highly regarded snowboard contests.

In case you've been hiding under a rock or have been isolated in the Alaskan backcountry without an internet connection for the last month, you probably know that Cartel team skier Noah Albaladejo won the "Best Trick" and "Best Overall" prizes at the B&E Invitational. Well, he's teamed-up with Vavisual to release an edit with some highlights from the event.

Philip Toplitsch and his crew of riding buddies, The Army, love Vorarlberg, the region of Austria where they live. This season the crew, assisted by film making genius Adam Graf, have created a movie which mixes their passion for snowboarding with the inspiring landscapes of Austria's most western region. Tomorrow night they will premiere the project titled "VorAMarlberg" and they want you there!

Alton Premium Store recently held their end of season tournament, a fun park session and get-together for the local scene. Amplid's Philip Toplitsch showed-up to support his long term sponsor and ended-up taking home the best trick prize with an uber stylish bs double cork 900.

Cartel team rider Julien Lange spends most of his winter refining his skills and stacking footage in the backcountry, but that doesn't mean his park skills are being neglected. Nope, by the looks of this three hit kicker line Julien's skills in the terrain park are as sharp as ever.

Grass Roots events are sooo hot right now... but seriously, what's not to like about hanging-out with friends and snowboarding at the same time. Keep Snowboarding 2015 took place last week and brought together the Vorarlberg snowboard scene in Damuels. Amplid's Philip Toplitsch and Jonel Fricke took-part.

For North America's best park riders and the shaping teams from the US' top terrain parks, Snowboarder Magazine's Superpark sessions are an annual highlight. The shaping teams, that hale from resorts like Boreal and Bear Mountain, transform the venue into the most progressive park on the planet. This year Pennsylvania's Seven Springs hosted the event.

SLVSH is the contest in which the world's best freeskiers battle against each other in a game of S.K.A.T.E. This week's episode has devided the Amplid camp, since Luka Melloni is skiing against Noah Albaladejo, both of whom are important members of the Cartel family.

A couple of weeks spent in the faultless terrain park of Laax in Switzerland can really accelerate progression. Amplid Ambush rider Daniel Antell visited Laax to do just that and in the process raised so many eyebrows that he found himself filming with "The Crap Attack" crew.

Splitboarding is great, what could be better than accessing beautiful peaks with thousands of meters of untouched vertical stretching out into the distance. Well that's the romanitic view, the reality can be very different. Amplid's Nico Antony recently spent 8 days in the Southern Alps exposing himself to awful conditions and learning essential survival techniques.

Once a year Luka and Noah cross the borders of Andorra and Spain into the French Pyrenees for the Rail Trick Session in Font Romeu. This year the usual BBQ vibes were a little dampened by the heavy snowfall, but Luka and Noah proved once again that they're the guys to beat.

The Ahornspitze is one of the Zillertal Valley's most prominent peaks. Just under 3000m high, it towers above the resort town of Mayrhofen, basking in the late afternoon sun. For any freerider who spends time in the Zillertal it's on the bucket list of peaks to ride. Ambush rider Alex Proyer recently ticked it off his list.

There comes a point in skiing when tricks become so easy that the only way to make them more interesting is by adding a twist. Having mastered Double Tail Grabs and Octo Grabs with little effort Alex Neurohr has found a creative use for his ski poles mid-flight.

Last week Julien Lange and Kevin Salonius were hanging-out with Swiss Cartel rider Alex Neurohr and filming for a video series in his home resort Vercorin. While they were there, the crew took a day off filming backcountry jumps to join Ambush rider Jeremy Rudaz for the Gangs of Thyon contest.

BoardSportSource recently sat down with Amplid's cofounder and owner, Peter Bauer, to talk about the last 30 years of snowboarding, Peter's involvement in the sport and of course Amplid. This interview is a cracker!

This winter Cartel rider Kevin Salonius has been to the far corners of Europe in search of new skiing adventures. At the end of February, Kevin travelled to Oslo, Norway's Capital City, to film with his homies at WordUp Projects. He kindly put together this little trip report.

Huge congratulations to Cartel team rider Noah Albaladejo who on Friday evening won the "Overall" and "Best Trick" awards at the prestigious B&E Invitational. With such a stacked field of riders, even getting noticed is an incredible achievement.

From 3pm (CET) today the B&E live broadcast will kick off. The contest hosted by Phil Casabon and Henrik Harlaut, in the French resort of Les Arcs, showcases the world's most stylish and creative skiers in a one of a kind, bowl park. This year Amplid's Noah Albaladejo will be riding.

Thanks to Julien's clothing sponsor, O'Neill, French freeski film makers Gpsy Feelin' have released his full part from their Fall 2014 release HOODOO. If you haven't seen the movie yet, it's time to put your headphones on and absorb yourself in the incredible 190 seconds of freeskiing.

Chris Bratt is one of the UK's most under appreciated snowboarders. His style is impeccable and he's not afraid of the big jumps in the park or in the backcountry. In this little summary edit of February's park laps, "Bratty" keeps things classy with smooth backside 180's, frontside 360s off the toes and faultless Cab5s.

This weekend Amplid will be at the "Freeride Ski Test" hosted by Freeskiers.net and Berg Stolz Magazine in Kauertal Austria. Visitors will have the opportunity to test 15/16 skis from a whole collection of brands including yours truly. Don't miss out!

They say to truly understand somebody you should walk 100 miles in their shoes. Well, if you walk 100 miles in Kevin Salonius' shoes it's going to take a long time, because they're ski boots. Instead it's probably a better idea to watch this 3 minute "Day in the Life" edit.
