We live and breathe individuality and style right in between take-off and landing. We indulge in these moments of pure freedom and we decide for ourselves when and where to go. Ascending to the top in silence, surrounded by nothing but endless backcountry terrain. The tracks we leave are the only witnesses of these unforgettable moments up there in the vast wilderness of the snowy mountain peaks. That’s the spirit! All for one, one for all!
It’s the unification of many strong personalities that makes an unbeatable team of riders and which helps each and every one of them to go big. The Völkl team consists of the world’s best allround riders with great style, podium-winning rippers, slopestyle jibbers and spin masters. When they are riding together they push each other to take their snowboarding to the next level and into a new dimension.
Every one of them is charging hard in her own special way – be it in international freestyle contests of the TTR World Snowboard Tour, the Freeride World Tour, Boardercross races, World Cups or while ripping their home mountain.
Their team spirit gives them the strength and power they need to take up all challenges.
Their high riding level and know-how make our teamriders a very important part of the R&D department.
They all ride and test their snowboards to develop products that set new standards.
