WOF 2010#08 English: Freeride World Tour - Chamonix

Snowboarding & freeskiing: freeriding in the face of the Mt Blanc

Freeride de Chamonix 2010

January 29th to February 05th 2010, Chamonix (FRA)

Back in 1924, French winter sports resort Chamonix at the foot of Mt Blanc was the host of the first ever Winter Olympics. Thanks to its countless steep couloirs, today it ranks among the greatest freeride spots in the world making it the perfect location for a stage of the Freeride World Tour 2010 (FWT)! The Freeride de Chamonix 2010 will take place from January 29th to February 05th 2010 and is the second leg of the internationally most recognized series for freeride snowboarders and freeskiers. After its overwhelmingly successful premiere last season as a stage of the World Qualifying Tour, the FWT organizers upgraded the 2010 edition of the event at the "mecca of freeriding" making it a leg of the main series.
