Terje Haakonsen – almost universally acknowledged as the king of snowboarding – has been making it known over the last season that after decades of riding he’s looking for ways to mix it up and make it fresh for himself again.

He also has a love for snowskating – something he might see eye-to-eye on with a previous WL online editor – but until now we’ve only seen snippets of it in Oakley’s latest movie and this rad Norwegian spring edit.
