An incredible group of skiers and snowboarders strengthened the legacy of the Suzuki Nine Queens presented by O'Neill as they pushed for the progression of the sport, while focusing on the key ingredient - fun. The rider-poll awards were handed out at the gala night, where Keri Herman (USA) and Klaudia Medlová (SVK) were voted style queens 2014. The coveted "Best Overall" titles went to skier Emma Dahlström from Sweden, and Swiss snowboarder Isabel Derungs. Both possessing big smiles and a go-getter attitude, they showed versatility, consistency and style.

Isabel Derungs

An integral part of the event concept has always been the photo contest and this year saw the spotlight aimed at the people behind the lenses once again. The four invited photographers Eleonora Raggi (ITA), Nate Abbott (USA), Alex Papis (AUT) and Christoph Schöch (AUT) spared no effort in documenting the action from a unique point of view at the perfectly shaped snow castle. Eleonora, the winner of the "Best Action" category made the most out of the geometric shapes glistening in the sun, and captured Jenny Jones (GBR) in black and white from an unexpected angle, "I had made some plans beforehand and I brought my harness with me," she laughs remembering getting chased down a pilon by piste security.
