Event Previews & Reviews from Verbier

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

The Grand Concours Hippique is held every August in Verbier. Since 1997 this regional and national competition has drawn riders from all over Switzerland and in some cases the world, to the Val des Bagnes for a week of show jumping.

Verbier hosts some of the best and biggest free events throughout the season and they will not disappoint this winter. After last year's record breaking snow levels, Verbier is opening fully on December 1st with hopes of a similar forecast.

Fête de la Musique is the celebration that takes place every summer solstice on 21st June in cities, towns and villages across France.

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!

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.
