Thanks to the great snow conditions this winter, the competition scheduled for Saturday, March 21 should be quite a show.

After the three Freeride World Tour stops in Sochi, Russia, Squaw Valley, USA and Tignes, France, only the top eight men and three women were qualified in each category. They will be joined by several ‘Wild Cards’ as well as the winners from the Nendaz Freeride, Freeride World Qualifier and sister event to the Nissan Xtreme – Verbier.

“I feel really strong again” Bibi sais, “I trained a lot with my homegrown Paradigma splitboard, rode lots of steeps, so I am looking forward to riding the Verbier contest face !”
