 Location:  Switzerland
 Rider:  Yannick Imboden

"Shredding the backcountry during the summer – you got a problem with that? Not Yannick Imboden! There was still enough snow left over at Furka Pass in Switzerland to build a kicker over some train tracks. The only problem was knowing when train would pass, which would have been great for the shot but not so much for Yannick with so little snow. So we spoke to one of the train drivers the day before we headed out and he told us their time schedules. We just waited till it was all clear and had a nice backcountry session in mid-June."
