Every story starts with a journey.
This CultureCast intro follows Jess Kimura from her home in Canada all the way to the LAAX Open 2026, capturing the moments in between — travel, transition, and the energy of arriving at one of snowboarding’s most iconic events.
The video offers a behind-the-scenes look at:
• Life on the road as a professional snowboarder
• The journey from home to the mountains of LAAX
• Jess arriving on site and stepping into the event atmosphere
• A first appearance on the Zalando Live set
• The calm before the chaos of a major snowboard event
Part travel vlog, part behind-the-scenes diary, this episode sets the tone for CultureCast — grounding the series in real moments, movement, and the human side of snowboarding.
CultureCast is Zalando’s long-form conversation and culture series recorded at the LAAX Open 2026, exploring the intersection of sport, travel, and community.
