Event Previews & Reviews from Verbier

Episode four of One Team to Sochi is out and it's all about the young lad from Bradford; Jamie Nicholls.

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

Murray Buchan a skier who grew up on the finger-snapping plastic of Edinburgh's Hillend made a choice to ski rather than play rugby and hopefully that choice will take hi to an Olympic medal.

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

How the team trains for the Olympics and how they came to be a team in the first place.

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.

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.

Dom Harington is a Halfpipe Snowboarder from Leeds who has missed the last two Olympics due to injuries after winning the Europa Cup Halfpipe. Sochi is probably his last chance to be part of the Olympics and he's giving it everything he has.

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.

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

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.

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.
