Event Previews & Reviews from Avoriaz

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 Klaxons opened the 2014 Rock the Pistes Festival yesterday afternoon in Avoriaz. The band were the first act in the line up which this year includes Mad Professor and Lee Scratch Perry and Babyshambles.

More than 700 cyclists took part in the weekends Grand Trophee Cycling Event and that was just the beginning….

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

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

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.

Thanks to Stew Monk from Reelfun Media for this edit of the Shreddie Feature Jam and another great day in the Stash.

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.
