We promised an adrenaline-fueled event which we delivered and then some: Spine-tingling display of skill? Rad line-up of legendary athletes? Iconic Alpine backdrop? Check, check and check. Read on to get a glimpse of all the heart-pounding action!
The star lineup
Swatch Nines Snow is stacked: Olympic stars, world champions, and X Games winners! This unique lineup includes world-class Swatch Proteam’s finest. Catch the likes of Nico Vuignier, Max Moffatt, Brooke D’Hondt, and Kaishu Hirano putting their talent to the test on the snow course.
Uniting two of the most thrilling action sports disciplines, snow sports and mountain biking, Swatch Proteam athletes Sam Pilgrim and Erik Fedko will be riding the set on their mountain bikes giving us a taste of what is next on the Swatch Nines agenda.
Swatch Proteam rookie and freeride prodigy Mila de la Rue and one of the most charismatic freestyle BMXers on the planet, Matthias Dandois, are also set to rock the event.
Bigger course. Bigger air. Bigger show!
The iconic “Perfect Hip” is back, and it’s massive. It’s a 21-meter marvel made for some mind-bending, history-making tricks. Given the remarkable surge of women's talent in skiing and snowboarding, this will also be the first time that fearless female riders take on a hip of this height.
But the fun doesn't stop there! The Swatch Ice Sphere, a one-of-a-kind igloo Swatch store, will cater to Swatch fans. There, event goers will be able to get their hands on watches from various collections as well as event watch, SWATCH NINES 2024 which will be exclusively available on site.
World records smashed at Swatch Nines Snow
The “Perfect Hip” simply stole the show. Its towering 21 meters served as the stage for some history-making tricks, and marked the first time fearless female riders took on a hip of such height. Capturing the most global attention ever in its 16 years, Swatch Nines saw three new snow sports world records set, including one by Swatch Canada athlete Brooke D’Hondt.
Our Swatch Proteam made an all-star showing overall. On the flatland course, Matthias Dandois and Sam Pilgrim pushed the bounds of creativity – all while filming some thrilling content. Kaishu Hirano led a nighttime ride through the course, and the Swatch Proteam dad-daughter duo Xavier and Mila de la Rue gave guests a warm welcome. The Swatch Ice Sphere was a huge hit, too: dazzling watch displays and unique themed games delighted our visitors.
