Event Previews & Reviews from Verbier

Meet Ben Kilner one of Britian's best halpipe snowboarders. 

James reports from the Verbier Ride 08, which proved to be an awesome event. This year the competition was a qualifier for the 'Orage European Open for Swatch', and with a gathering of International male and female athletes at the La Chaux Snowpark, this upped the stakes, and encouraged a lively and exciting competition. The level was extremely high, and so were the tricks!

Meet one of Britian's best Freestyle medal chances at the Sochi Olympics; James Woods.

The ski lifts are preparing to open and the Christmas holidays are on the horizon.

The Relentless Freeze Festival did exactly what it said on the tin and those not wearing their ski jackets could be found with teeth chattering, huddled around the vin chaud stand wrapping themselves in a fruity alcoholic blanket.

Ever wondered what it's really like to compete on the Swatch Freeride World Tour? In this great video diary - 'Free riding the perfect line' -  American freeskier Oakley White talks us through what it is like to take part in such a huge international event.

With the whole of Verbier shut down in May (well most of it) its time to recharge the batteries and look forward to the summer events.

Spring is officially in the air, just don't forget your sunscreen!

As the best freeriders in the world gather in Revelstoke this weekend for the first stop on the all-new Swatch Freeride World Tour by The North Face, we were fortunate to be able to have a sit down with a free skiing legend, holder of the world record for the highest cliff jump and super nice guy - Fred Syversen.

Only a week after the eponymous Freeride World Tour Final, on 7th April, the Verbier High Five by Carlsberg will come to town, a fantastic event aimed at getting more people involved with the competitive side of alpine skiing.

Each year Verbier welcomes stars from the alpine skiing world to this unique event, which pits members of the public against some of the best skiers from the competition circuit.
