That’s it! The ISPO, the biggest industry get together in Europe is kicking off this week-end! ISPO is a true ‘gathering of the tribe’ and since its inception it has always provided the perfect arena for industry to get together and get things done. Take the TTR World Tour for example: ISPO was its birthplace back in 2002. It was here that Terje Haakonsen, Drew Stevenson and the rest of the snowboard industry banded together to form the most progressive, respected snowboard tour in the world!

For the third consecutive year (check our 2007 and 2008 ISPO posts), the SnowBroader crew will be at ISPO for your pleasure! Like usual we will cover the event in and out to bring you as many pictures of the new 2010 gear as possible, plus video podcasts with a focus on the innovation brands have been cooking up for all of us!
Of course we have already posted a bunch of 2010 gear previews but with ISPO we plan to go really in depth. That’s if we survive all the partying and hang-overs the ISPO is famous for!

If you cannot make it to ISPO, check back this week-end as we will try to post content as fast as possible. But if you are at ISPO, it would be cool to meet! Leave us a comment on this post, hit us on Facebook (our group, or Nico or Phil), or connect with us on Twitter for some live tweets!
Click below to check some of the places where you can expect to meet us anyway! See you there chicas & bros!

You might know that Phil has launched a new brand called FST Handwear this year. This is a new concept of streetwear gloves for chilling and being hip. People like photographer Vanessa Andrieux, Apo team rider Caro Beliard, or hype master L’ arrogs are completely digging these gloves! Phil will (re)presenting the 2009/10 collection on the FST booth and this is the best place to meet him for sure!

We definitely plan to get wasted and the One Night Stand Party from Völkl/Onboard crew will be the crime scene. Come party with us!

ISPO is great for getting free shit. Free beer, free food, whatever… Here’s a scam for some free snacks courtesy of O’Neill and an opportunity to meet legendary freerider Jeremy Jones…anyone joigning? By the way, we are travelling on the cheap and are not sure yet if we have a place to crash…we are nice guys…word!

Das Rail contest, ja! Last qualifying event before the CHAMPS OPEN happening next w-e in Crans-Montana and where SnowBroader is stoked to be an official media partner. Come check out some of the best rail shredders getting freaky.

Our Swiss bros from NDK/Nidecker haven’t shaved since 6 months and they want to show off. I grew a beard is that ok?

These are just a few plans for ISPO. The are tons more. Hope to see you around for some happy time! Yeah.
