Event Previews & Reviews from Avoriaz

So it’s official, the season is over. And thanks to Chez Flo and neighbouring bars in Avoriaz, it was sent off in style.

The London Ski and Snowboard show is for many the first event of the winter. Pick up the latest kit, catch up with friends and enjoy the party. It'll be a couple of months before you can do it for real.

For petrol heads in the Alps the Mont Blanc Rally is one of the big events of the summer.

The Urban Roof n’ Slopestyle is a new concept in freestyle mountain biking. A competition inspired by freestyle snowboarding events that take place in Avoriaz in the winter, it takes dirt and freeride mountain biking and mixes them with parcours to create a new style of street riding.

Now in it’s third year, The Rhythm Sessions promised to be even bigger and better than last year, and we can safely say they didn’t oversell it one bit.

As the sun went down, the snow fell and it made for an amazing evening at The Kinkerne!

For the 8th year running, the madness and chaos of the Cavern 24-7 Film Festival descended on Morzine in March. Pirates, reprobates and fire-breathing snowboarders were spotted flying down the slopes in Avoriaz, swinging off bridges in Morzine Town Centre and causing a scene in a bar near you.

The Burton Stash Gathering returns on Wednesday with an amateur snowboard competition that is open to both male and female riders. The competition features a jam format, with groups of riders heading off with one or two judges following them down. The judges then decide who goes through to the next round until the finals. Prizes include Burton, Analog and Red products.
