With the help of pro snowboarder Christoph Weber (Austria) and pro freeskier Laurent Favre (France), Oxbow gathered some of the best riders from all over the world for a six-day contest.
“Since the beginning of the winter I helped to organize this special event together with Laurent Favre and Oxbow. We were all super motivated for a sick week of riding and good times on the mountains of Arêches Beaufort. All was well planed and the Riders list was promising. Not only really good athletes, but also Skiers and Snowboarders who share the spirit for the Mountain and the Sport.
