Immaculate vibes

Family Ties and Endless Vibes | Swatch Nines PT.2

The vibes at the Nines are what makes it special – an anti-contest, fun focussed week that allows the riders to unwind after a busy contest season.

The Nines is the perfect environment for the riders to enjoy themselves. There is no pressure to ride and to go big, or to push the limits of the sport – but ironically – and possibly deliberately – that’s exactly what the atmosphere creates. By relieving the riders of any pressure, they are able to express themselves and if they want to push their limits, they have everything they need to do so in a relaxed environment.

The true essence of Swatch Nines was on full display last week as Schilthorn transformed into a welcoming, friendly playground for skiers and snowboarders. Family vibes and tight‑knit camaraderie took center stage, creating a pressure‑free space where riders cheered, encouraged, and pushed one another to new heights with jaw‑dropping tricks and slams. The whole mountain buzzed with passion—every stomped landing came with a hug and a high five, and it’s that stoke that keeps people coming back. Part of these impeccable vibes are the the result of our design philosophy that puts the riders first. The breathtaking features are imagined and designed by riders, for riders, with the goal of creating a space where athletes feel comfortable, inspired, and free to express themselves without the pressure of competition.
