Bio
Nico Muller was born in 1982 and grew up in Aarau, Switzerland, riding the great halfpipes of Laax Resort. Soon, Nico was gracing the pages of most major magazines with his unique style; and for the past five plus years has been considered by most the best all around rider in snowboarding. He rides every aspect of the mountain with a signature style very reminiscent of Mr. Haakonsen himself.
King of the mini-shred and one of the most down to earth dudes you will meet; Nico stands alone when it comes to busting out a proper method in the backcountry and throwing down his infamous one footers in the pipe. A global team rider for Burton, Nico travels the world with the best snowboarders on a regular basis, producing movie parts you will want to watch over and over again.
This past season Nico filmed around the globe for Absinthe Films “More” and Burton’s new movie “For Wright or Wrong”. In these films Nico attacks the open terrain with reckless abandon, but flawless technique only possible by Muller himself. When asked by the legend, Terje had this to say. “Nicolas has the ability to read the terrain really well, he’s smooth and has a light-footed style.”
