Freeride World Tour - End of the winter

Another great winter is now over on the Freeride World Tour!!
After 2 fantastic stages on Courmayeur ITA and Chamonix FRA, we went to Fieberbrunn in Austria and Verbier in Switzerland for the final stage!!

Fieberbrunn Austria, here a sweet location far from home!!
When we arrived there, it was too warm, too sunny, too everything but not good snow for sure. So we had to postponed the contest a week later to have a fresh deep snow in the face.

1st day in Austria!!

Hard way back after a day at the office!!

Our lovely hotel room!!

Autrian style.

Six days later, in the cold then, the contest took place.
Snow conditions were'nt that good but enough to compete and make sick runs for skiers and snowboarders.

Morning contest face check.

David Carlier at work with his little toy!!
Adam Brown my work mate in the finish line!!

Packing and flying the Start Gates to the village.

Verbier here we were!!
The world famous Bec-des-Rosses was waiting once again for the also famous Xtreme Verbier on his north face!!
This legendary face scarred every single rider, as every year!!

On the work side, it puts a little bit more pressure on the Xtreme Verbier!!
You work harder, you don't sleep enough, everything to propose a super quality Live show in internet.
Here is the Best Of of this sick event!!


A special mention to Seb Michaud who is retiring from competition, but we'll see him for sure on some video projects pretty soon!!
Good bye Seb Michaud et merci!!
