No list of snowboarders worth watching would be complete without Nicolas Müller. The man is a true snowboarding legend. Starting his career in the halfpipe, he’s now world renowned for his original approach to backcountry riding. You only to have to watch one of his countless video parts to understand why the man is in pretty much every snowboarders top five riders of all time. Some may be surprised to see him as low down the list as number 19, but although he’s featuring in Nike’s Never Not and has a part in Burton’s [Snowboarding] this winter, he won’t be in the Absinthe movie for the first time in years. But he was always going to make the top 20 regardless… I c’mon, he’s Müller!
