After a Covid cancelation last year, the Audi Nines returned last week with an amazing array of features built in a mega park at Crans Montana, Valais Switzerland. Since its inception as a men’s ski event called the Nine Knights in 2008, the concept has evolved over the past decade and the Audi Nines is now one of the year’s most anticipated ski and snowboard events, regarded as a four-day progression session where creativity is the name of the game.
The invite list each year is made up of some of the world best park skiers and snowboarders and with an incredible feature-packed setup, the action in Crans Montana was mind-blowing. Australia’s Tess Coady capped off a successful northern hemisphere season with a clean-sweep in women’s snowboard, being awarded Most Creative rider, Best Trick and “Ruler of the Week.”
