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.

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

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

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

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!

Billy Morgan is one of the Britian's best chances of a Freestyle snowboarding medal at the Sochi Olympics.

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.

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 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.
