history
Iceripper's beginnings go back to 1983. Denis Giger put the first snowboard stickers with the trademark of the Icerippers, the polar bear with a snowboard under his arm, into circulation. In the following year he built a small series of Iceripper Black Aggressor snowboards and Iceripper Brachial bindings with Martin Jöhr . In November 1985 Denis Giger and Markus Flachsmann founded the Iceriper Snowboard School , the first snowboard school in Switzerland, which offered a regular course program in Zuoz the following winter . From 1988 there were also snowboard camps in Germany and abroad, some of which were organized by the then World Cup winner Evelyne Vuilleumier. Around ten Iceripper snowboarders spent the winter in the Engadine to prepare for the upcoming World Championships in Livigno .
On September 21, 1987, the Iceripper Snowboard Club was founded with the intention of promoting snowboarding. The Icerippers are founding members of the former Swiss Snowboard Association (SSBA) and were actively represented in the association. From 1989 on, Denis Giger and Evelyne Vuilleumier published the first Swiss snowboard magazine , the Iceripper magazine “The Spirit of Snowboarding”. In July 1989, the club took part in the organization of the first snowboard summer contest, a two-day half-pipe competition in Laax
In 1990 the Iceripper team consisting of 20 athletes was put together, which competed in national and international competitions. In 1992 the Iceripper Style Trophy was held in Laax and a contest in Pontresina was held for the first time in memory of co-founder George P. Freytag.
From 1991 onwards, T-shirts and sweatshirts were also offered on a small scale under the label Iceripper Wear .
