High-speed freestyle snowboarding on steep backcountry lines will always be a top-tier badass activity. In the latest video from Salomon Snowboards we see some of that, along with a mix of stylish on-piste freeriding from the likes of Luke Lund, Livia Tanno, Blake Moller, Simon Gschaider, Nils Mindnich, and Victor Daviet. Attention spans are short these days, but be sure to stick around for the full video. Things start to get real hectic around the seven-minute mark...

A word from our friends over at Salomon Snowboards about their latest video, "VANTAGE."
"Freeriding isn’t a single style, terrain, or way down the mountain. It’s a spectrum of lines and approaches that allow us to express ourselves in different ways — freely, without boundaries. Vantage dives into that diversity, showing how every rider, every style, and every approach brings a new perspective, a new vantage on the natural world.
"In order to achieve this full spectrum of freeride and to gain as many perspectives as possible, we filmed on locations all over Europe and North America, including Utah, Alaska, British Columbia, Italy, and France. Each chapter essentially represents a different part of the mountain, Ch. 1 covering the bottom 1/3rd with terrain in and out of bounds, low angle powder, side hits, and groomers. Ch. 2 covers the second 2/3rd of the mountain, with more consequential terrain, purely out of bounds, and mixing in a few back country booters. Ch. 3 is the climax, the tippy top with the highly consequential terrain covering steep, aggressive lines."
