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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Magical March is here. Enjoy long, warm days in the sunshine.
