An Inside look into Nico Muller’s Backyard of Lax, Switzerland.

Between snow seasons, we dream. We plan for next season. We watch videos that make us want to time travel to the days of fresh powder. Now imagine if your backyard mountain was a national treasure hidden away in a mythic corner of the Swiss Alps.

We recently got some inspo for our powder daydreams when we got to follow Nixon team-rider Nico Muller around his home mountain: Laax, Switzerland. Having grown up on the great halfpipes of Laax, Nico is widely considered the best all-around rider in snowboarding. Over his career, he’s become known for dominating everything from contest riding, to backcountry freeriding, and for being one of the easiest guys around to spend a day with. Watch as we ride along.
