It's finally officially summer in the northern hemisphere (and officially WINTER in the south), but still the Monday Mix marches bravely on. This week we're serving up a handful of national team selections for the 2020/21 season, getting pitted in Waco, running some hot laps in Val d'Isere, and much, much more.

But first up we're flashing back to a delicious chicken salad served up by Matty McCormick last season in Laax...

Tasty stuff!

With that appetizer out of the way, let's launch into a little news, beginning with the results of our latest #ClassicsLive poll, where the star-studded Spindlyruv Mlyn Snowjam slopestyle World Cup from the 2012/13 season came out on top. Keep your eye on our social channels on Wednesday when the competition will be going live in its entirety on our YouTube channel and on Facebook...

A couple of national team announcements to cover now, as both the Canadians and Swedes revealed their rosters for the 2020/21 season. Lots of heavies on both sides, with the likes of Mark McMorris, Sebastien Toutant, and Max Parrot repping the maple leaf, and Sven Thorgren and Niklas Mattsson flying the blue and yellow...

Snowboard Team Sweden proudly present the national teams for the season 2020-2021. A-team: @nik.mattsson and @sventhorgren Development team: @williamalmqvist , @gabriel.tristan.almqvist , @novaengholm , @jesperlandmark_ , @gustaflundstroem and @willemathisen

It seems like mail is getting through to Italy now, as the queen of SBX for 2019/20 Michela Moioli finally got her hands on her crystal globe. With PyeongChang 2018 Olympic gold, four world championships medals, and now THREE crystal globes, sometimes its easy to forget that Ms Moioli is still just 24-years-old and likely to add many, many more trophies to her collection in the coming years...

Eccola qui! 🤩 Finalmente la mia terza coppa del mondo arriva a Livigno!💙 Tornare in questa terra, dopo diversi mesi, mi ha emozionata. La voglia di ripartire è tanta, di lavorare e migliorare ancor di più.💪🏻☀️ Ci vediamo presto @livigno . . . #michelamoioli #snowboard #livigno #feelthealps #snowboarding #snowboardcross #mountain #lombardia #worldcup #fis #champion #love #snowboardgirl #snowboarditalia #livignoismagic #montagna

Sticking with snowboard cross for a minute here, our friends over at SBX Life have a fresh interview with Germany's Paul Berg up now, and have just announced that the SBX G.O.A.T. herself will be next up in the hotseat, as the USA's Lindsey Jacobellis will answer questions on Wednesday...

Wow, a great interview with 🇩🇪🏂🏎🔥🔥🔥 Paul Berg. Plenty of “Knowledge Nuggets” in here as he dropped his thoughts on all things SBX!

As much as we love talking SBX, we love watching it even more, so thank goodness for the French squad who have converged in Val d'Isere for some summer training. Now, although we say "summer" training, looking at the quality of this start section and the snow coverage up on the glacier in France it's tough to believe we're looking at footage from June...

Merci @valdisere et tout le personnel présent sur le glacier pour l’accueil et la mise en place d’une section de start pour nous permettre de nous entraîner dans des conditions idéales 😍 . . . @fedfranceski // @dare2b_sports // @dare_2b_france // @esf_officiel // @teamcaissedepargne // @region_auvergnerhonealpes . . . #sbxfrance #snowboard #snowbording #snow #sbx #snowboardcross #sbxlife #valdisere #training #entrainement #sport #mountains #coldeliseran #team #🇫🇷 #❄️ #😍 #🏂 #fun

Also experiencing insanely good conditions for June? Stelvio, Italy, where our 2019/20 alpine overall crystal globe winner Roland Fischnaller has been lacing some turns on what's looking like an extremely solid snowpack...

back on track 💪 #june #carving

Sunday saw a couple of big days celebrated, with both Father's Day and Go Skateboarding Day going down. Plenty of riders around the world were giving shout-outs to their dads or, as in the case of the USA's Nick Baumgartner, were giving shout-outs to the kids that call them "dad"...

Happy Fathers Day to all you rad dads out there. Happy 25th anniversary and thank you to @xgames for giving me the opportunity to share this moment with my son and family. Winning X Games gold was awesome but this little dude right here made it so much better ❤️❤️ I literally cry every time I watch it! Anyone else tear up ?❤️ Swipe right to see the race 🤘🏻#happyfathersday #mybabyboy #love #happiness #xgames25 @aspensnowmass

And of course plenty of riders were also fitting a solid skate sesh into their day, with Baumgartner's US compatriot Dusty Henricksen casually crushing it in this cruisey park clip...

Alright, time to collect our favourite snowshred clips of the week, beginning with Canadian young gun Liam Brearley and this flashback to his first-ever World Cup podium, earned on home soil in Calgary last season...

Throw back to one of my best competitions of the season, here is my finals run that landed me third on my first World Cup podium! - @oneillcanada @nitrousa @sandboxland @nowbindings @elevatedprotection @cfmanagement

Next up is another Liam, as France's Tourki dropped a couple of sweet, smooth clips from at home on the glacier in Les 2 Alpes...

Felt good to get some air time again in @2alpessnowpark 🎥: @jeremypancras X @enzovalax . . . . #snowboard #snowboarding #winter #snow #spring #snowboards #snowboardlife #snowboardingisfun #glacier #freestyle #snowpark #equipedefrance

Swiss rider Nicolas Huber has hopped across the border to Austria's BangerPark, and looking at the pure perfection of this dryslope kicker it is not hard to understand why. This thing is legit, and if you don't believe us then just check out the pop HuberCop gets on that triple...

If you would like to try any trick on your snowboard ore skis you have been dreaming about go to @bangerpark and send it! It’s a video game in real life 👾 🎥 @patroik

Luke Winkelmann is up at Mt Hood and just TEASING us with a quick photo update at this point. Luke, buddy, we need video clips and we need them now...

We back🌝 Hood bout to blow this summa🌋

Italian wildman Gian Marco Maiocco looks like he's been having a pretty good time in the spring slush at the Garden Snowboard Camp in Madonna di Campiglio...

𝐍𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢,𝐦𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐨..🙈

Nothing but style and it's goin' on for miles when Kyle Mack drops in...

Finally going to get to snowboard again! @signalsnowboard @rockstarenergy @686 @blenderseyewear

And we'll finish things of for this week's week's Monday Mix with Mons Roisland, who closed out his time at Norway's Hovden Parken with the type of blissed-out spring sunset slash-and-dash that dreams are made of...

Last couple turns from @hovdenparken 💆🏻‍♂️ 🎥 @markusolimstad

Beauty.

That's it for this week! Thanks for hanging out with us and we'll see ya back here next Monday.
