Avoriaz hosts some great events each winter, from an epic opening day, to a whole host of music festivals, there's plenty to look forward to this winter.
The London Freeze is the ski and snowboard event that brings together international live music acts and some of the world's best riders. The two day festival is the last weekend in October and in 2011 we caught up with X-Games medalist James Wooods for a chat about his Olympic hopes.
Meet one of Britian's best Freestyle medal chances at the Sochi Olympics; James Woods.
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.
Episode four of One Team to Sochi is out and it's all about the young lad from Bradford; Jamie Nicholls.
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.
February was dominated by the Alpine Skiing World Championships, held every second year, which kicked off in St Moritz on 6th February. Over 13 days, 589 athletes from 76 countries competed in eleven competitions in front of 165,000 spectators.
July brings with it all sorts of sporting events. This year we have the EURO 2016 hosted in France at the start of the month, the annual tennis tournamant at Wimbledon and Formula 1 action at Silverstone, Budapest and Hockenheim.
Meet Aimee Fuller Slopestyle Snowboarder, stunt double and one of the British Freestyle Snowboard Team.
For petrol heads in the Alps the Mont Blanc Rally is one of the big events of the summer.
There's lots going on in the week ahead!
Crankworx found a new European home this summer, moving from Les 2 Alpes to Les Gets, where it will stay for at least the next three years and what a success it's been...
So far we've seen not only some fantastic racing, stunning scenery and nail-biting sprints from the 2016 Tour de France, but we've witnessed several unusual crashes, the yellow jersey literally running up Mont Ventoux and more than one incident of an over-enthusiastic fan causing disruption.
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.
Through the Savoie and the Haute Savoie, husky-dog mushers from the twelve or so different countries worldwide will be competing during a 2-week effort race over 1,000 km and over 25,000 m of cumulated positive difference in altitude.
The second Shreddie Feature Jam took place on Wednesday 6th February in snowy conditions. Riders took to three modules in the Burton Stash in Avoriaz in a jam session format. All the tricks were filmed by Stew Monk from Reelfun Media and the video is now live.
More than half the season done, it's magical March and a chilled vibe settles on the resort.
The weather thankfully held off long enough for yesterday's European whip off competition in Les Gets to take place and spectators were treated to huge air and lots of style as competitors battled it out for the prize money.
