The main mission of Suzuki Nine Queens is charging ahead by pushing the progression of women's skiing and snowboarding. The recipe is simple: a perfectly shaped gigantic setup, top athletes and good vibes. 2016 was no exception and Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis in Austria saw a fantastic week of action with a few cloudy jib days, a glorious sunrise shoot, a Big Air contest and many sunset sessions on the snow chateau from the 13th to 18th of March.

Though all of the girls threw down technical and stylish tricks throughout the week, it was Coline Ballet-Baz (FRA) who took home the coveted, peer-voted "Ruler of the Week" title. She pushed herself to learn a cork 900 blunt to safety, and later on, in the competition, moved onto land her first left 900 tail to tail.
