Air & Style founder Andrew Hourmont: „This year’s Air & Style was a special experience for me. Many riders that coined the history of the Air & Style since 1994, followed our invitation. They impressively showed, what Snowboarding à la Air & Style is all about: fun, lust for life, sand top performances. My thanks go out to everyone who made this unbelievable snowboard party possible.”
