3D RENDERS REVEALED: FEAST YOUR EYES ON THE 2024 SWATCH NINES SETUP
The centrepiece of this year’s setup is the “Perfect Hip 2.0.” Designed to send riders sky-high, this 20-meter-high colossus features seven different takeoff options. But that’s not all: Above the hip a unique feature nicknamed “The Portal” offers a variety of unconventional transitions, while below the hip a veritable playground of features awaits with bowls, tunnels, volcanoes, gaps and other playful possibilities.

RIDERS’ ROSTER: AN ECLECTIC MIX OF WORLD-CLASS TALENT
A crack team of riders from around the globe has been assembled to test the limits of this year’s setup. The roster includes snowboard royalty such as Anna Gasser (AUT), Valentino Guseli (AUS) and Markus Kleveland (NOR), and ripping Canadian transition rider Brooke D'hondt will also be in attendance.
