Last week the Spring Battle — Absolut Park’s celebrated annual spring contest — brought a flurry of ski & snowboard action to the Interwebz, not just from the sunny slopes of Flachauwinkl, Austria, but from snowparks around the world.

That’s because, due to the pandemic, event organizers debuted a new online-submission format, where invited riders could submit their entry clips for four different categories (Best Rail, Best 540, Spin to Win and Turbo Knuckle) from wherever they happened to be. This helped top international riders to still be able to participate, even if they weren’t able to travel to Absolut Park in person this year.

With $60,000 USD prize money on the line, shredders around the globe wasted no time in throwing down for the contest, flooding Instagram with a wave of sizzling-hot entries. The results were announced last week on Absolut Park’s YouTube channel, but just in case you’re not interested in watching the hours-long award ceremonies to find out who won (sorry, Henry), we’ve compiled the winning ski clips right here for your enjoyment.
