These photographs were all shot in the Italian alpine town of Sestriere in 2019. We snowboarded on spots that were built and used for the Winter Olympics, and we had far more fun that any Olympians. Featured in these images are Vans Europe team riders Will Smith and Sparrow Knox. These photographs were printed in Methodmag issue 21.1 along with an interview. The online version can be found here.
