OK, imagine this: You've just spent a week riding in Saas Fee, Switzerland, with Mark McMorris, Anna Gasser, and Clemens Millauer. You've got four days of freedom in Europe before you need to get to a national team training camp in Stubai, Austria – WYD? For Brock Crouch, Red Gerard and Mikey Ciccarelli, the decision was easy: ride trains, hike, skate, snowboard, link up with other Burton riders and try but fail to eat fondue (missed our chance in Switzerland, and it's totally not an Austrian thing, as it turns out.)
The Americans hook up with our boys Max Zebe and Roope Tonteri for some sunny laps of the park and freshies up at Stubai.
