Andrew Hourmont is the inventor of the Air & Style concept and founder of the Air & Style Company. As an integral part of paving the way for competitive snowboarding he has been a member of the TTR Board of Directors since the very beginning. He started off his winter sports career as member of the British national ski team. In the 80’s and 90’s he worked as manager of the Burton snowboard team and as a sports photographer with a special focus on snowboarding. From there it did not take very long until the first Air & Style contest was held in 1994 at the Bergisel Stadium of Innsbruck, Austria. As a successful event model the Air & Style concept has grown and is carried on until today returning to Innsbruck in 2008 after some years in Seefeld, Austria and Munich, Germany. Andrew is still active as Managing Director of the Air & Style Company and is planning a Tour with several stops in different countries.
