Pulling off any kind of event is more difficult than you ever imagine it could be when you start out down that road. Pulling off a backcountry freestyle event during a pandemic AND a snow drought is pretty next level. We're not going to claim it was perfect blower pow, or that we saw never been done tricks But a jam session backcountry contest between some of the finest backcountry jump skiers on the planet is always going to be a great show, one that skiing has certainly missed in recent years. The day's proceedings pitted a diverse crew of skiers, from Markus Eder to Magnus Graner, against each other on backcountry booters and a playful face with plenty of options. The conditions weren't perfect but it's safe to say that everyone was surprised by how good they were. The night before the comp, at the riders' meetings, both hopes and expectations were low. The 'skiers' union' made the call to opt for more of a jam session than the proposed head-to-head format in order to make things a bit more chilled given the expected poor snow. A direct result of a face check that didn't look positive, not just speculation. The next morning we were greeted by clouds and a thin crust on the snow. It was 10 am, well past 'start time' and things didn't look great. During the unplanned pre-comp coffee break, expectations hadn't improved. But eventually, it was drop or cancel, and thankfully, the decision was to drop. The snowboard men dropped first and run one saw sevens. Suddenly, it was on. The landings were all better than expected and things spiraled out of control from there. The ski women were sending, with Lea Bouard sending a huge backflip off the bat, and taking a big crash, breaking a ski in the process. She was back up the hill within an hour and sent two more runs, finding herself second on the podium. Local lady, Alison Charmey took the win with her first run of the day though, courtesy of a massive three on one of the main fall-line jumps and another on the step down on the lower section. On the men's side, things started crazy and built from there. Run one saw Tom Ritsch attempt to land switch into the couloir section, Alex Hackel and Maxime Chabloz tossing multiple sevens on their opening runs and Sampo Valloton popping to switch on the icy face that set you up for the cross slope booter and stomping a switch 5. As the day proceeded, Markus Eder stomped multiple double flats, including a crazy dub flat to hard right turn in to immediate nosebutter 7 off the stepdown. Sampo stepped up the switch 5 to a switch 9, which had to be the single trick of the day, ending his run with a double flatspin and staking his claim for top spot. Tanner dropped in for one run, putting down a flat 3 and two dub backies and showing that he still has the power to send anything despite the crazy injury catalog. But at the end of the day, the winner was pretty unanimous. The event ended up being rider judged and pretty much everyone I talked to had one name, a clear winner, at the top of their lists. That man was Magnus Graner, who put down 3 totally different runs, took unique lines on all three, was the only guy to hit the biggest of the gaps, got the most features in his runs, and generally put down a clinic in how to ride backcountry creatively. But the day wasn't really about who won or what tricks they threw. There is no doubt that everyone who stopped during their ski day to take in the comp was blown away. There was a solid crowd on-site and the lack of pressure brought the most out of a crew of skiers who, mostly, you'd never see at either a freeride or a slopestyle event. There's certainly a space in skiing for more of these events. In fact, there's a need for more, it was certainly the best I've been to in some time. Hopefully, this weekend's show can provide the impetus for that. Event Coverage. A quick word on blocking ads. It looks like you are using an ad blocker. That's okay. Who doesn't?

Nendaz Backcountry Invitational - The triumphant return of the backcountry freestyle comp

Utility Menu. Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 Last Jump to page: Results 1 to 25 of Likely January, February, March. My main concern is getting a 3 month rental for a reasonable rate, do you think its possible? Join Date Apr Location verbier, milan, isla de pascua Posts 4, Check the board at www. Send a PM to stantonbum1, scottish skier and huck schmuck who may give you some suggestions. Join Date Mar Location canada Posts 2, Join Date May Posts Try John Bristow in Le Chable - he usually has rooms available at cheap prices, and also has a lot of local contacts both in le chable and verbier so can probably hook you up with some fairly cheap accomodation! Join Date Dec Posts I don't have personal experience of looking for accom in Verbier but people I know have said nice things about John Bristow and the Rosbif. On the Nendaz front, Inter Agence are probably the pick of the estate agents. They were professional and didn't dick us about at all. Verb is nice to visit but it is too expensive to bum it there for the season. From a skiing perspective Nendaz also has some serious advantages. Pluses to Nendaz Cheap Better access to the whole of the ski area - you're in the middle. This matters when it is crowded or when it hasn't snowed for a while and you're scratching round looking for options. We managed to get fresh tracks most days this season. In order to do this we had to roam around the fringes of the ski area a bit. Powder day access from Siviez is arguably better than from le Chable or Verb. Minuses to Nendaz Less of a ski bum community than Le Chable. Almost everyone I skied with lived down by the lake or in Le Chable. The nightlife is fucking terrible The bus is essential but will get on your tits after a while - skiing over from Nendaz to Siviez takes about 40 mins with the main limit on when you get there being lift connections. Getting to Bruson is a pain and I think this is the major downside to Nendaz. Bruson is easily the best place to be when the weather is bad and it is not somewhere you want to get stuck. You'll struggle to get powder on Mt Gele or Attelas. It isn't possible to get there before the fat ski commandos get out of Verbier. Poor transport links. Le Chable has the train line. Nendaz is dependent on the bus. Thanks for the advice everyone, it sounds like Nendaz is worth a closer look. I'm definitely not interested in being a 'bar star', those years are behind me. I'm just going to Ski, learn some French, and Ski. It sounds like Le Chable might be populated by 18 year old Brits. Any comments? I'm sure they're lovely people but I think their goals might be different than mine and I can't see sharing an apartment with them. Would it be a day trip to Chamonix or more of a weekend commitment? The guys living in Le Chable that I skied with were mainly in their mid 20s to mid 30s. It seems to be a favoured place for people working for the ski schools. I got the impression that most of the kids are up in Verbier proper, mainly in TO accommodation but I could be wrong here. Best person to ask on this is RPF on snowheads. Nendaz is about 45 mins to 1hr further away from Chamonix by car than Le Chable. If you don't have a car then it is a weekend job and getting over would be a pain. The quickest but not the cheapest way to do it would probably be getting the bus down the valley, the train to GVA airport and then picking up a resort transfer. In general, though, getting from ski resort to ski resort by public transport in the Alps is hard going. Most of the bus systems going to resorts Swiss post bus is an exception are set up to deal with people flying into a hub airport and then transferring to a resort for a week. This may be ok if you are living in the valley but tends to be a problem if you are in resort. If you want to do day trips then you need a car. Originally Posted by Gorilla.

However accommodation is expensive and the nightlife can get messy. I would probably vote Nendaz - it's a satellite ski resort on a sunny plateau. Le Chable is a bagnard farm town on the main road that doesn't get much sun until mid march. Plus the gondola to Le Chable closes at 8pm - which could be annoying. Only problem with Nendaz is that its miles from Bruson my favourite sector in the whole area. Originally Posted by grapedrink.

For the same pass price because it is the same pass , you can live in one of the towns near Chamonix.

IMO, Verb has the best lift served big mountain terrain on the planet. Have a great 3 months! You know the names: sup san B, vicheres, fouly, chapex, ovronnaz, etc etc etc. Random, non skiing question Should I get a cell phone over there or get an 'unlocked' one here and pick up a Simm Card when I arrive? I understand they have some crazy-ass internet system over there, are most places going to come pre-connected? Originally Posted by rrmiller.

I did a week in Verbier this year and thought that Siviez could be a good place to base yourself, especially considering I did a ton of skiing out of Tortin. Originally Posted by CarveMan.

Good location or am I going to be busing it up to Siviez most days anyway? Any experiences? Good location. The bus goes from by the Tracouet gondola station. You will also be about 5 mins from most of the supermarkets, the better of the skishops techshop and the least shit of the bars Cactus. You will miss out on the view out over the Rhone valley. I woke up to the view in Grapedrink's photo every day for four months or I would have done if the toilet hadn't have been in the way and it did not suck at all. Look at the ones in the Jolimont building if you want the view. Downside to that is a 10 min walk to the bus in the morning. Many of the places in Nendaz have cable tv - you can pay extra to get internet down the line as well but you will run into a minimum contract length issue if you are only there for three months. We just paid up, the tv was mainly shit and spending money on beer in bars in order to use the Wifi soon mounts up. Join Date Jun Posts 4. Hey guys! I'm heading back to Le Chab for next season, I'm too scared to go somewhere new where I don't know anyone! That eurodrive thing looks pretty good, will have a look into that! Join Date Jan Location out there on the neon avenue Posts 4, Originally Posted by enlosandes. Maybe we should share our research and our knowledge. I originally was looking into Verbier but then added St. Anton and Chamonix to my list after talking to others and looking around. Due to the lower Euro and higher Swiss Franc rate I decided that Chamonix would be much cheaper in the end partial to France over Austria. I am definitely still open to look at other places however. Is Chamonix better than Verbier? It seems like everyone has an opinion on this subject and the verdict is still out. I would like to go somewhere where I can relearn my French, enjoy some beer after skiing, meet some cool people, and most importantly hit some nice powder. Let me know what you plan on doing as it looks like you've done your research. I may end up staying in a hostel in Cham the only one in Verb closed last year and going from there, moving on to Verbier or wherever. For Chamonix, season passes bought before Nov. Just a thought. Let me know what you think. Do you know if people speak French more in Chamonix or Verbier or will I just use my English the whole time? Page 1 of 3 1 2 3 Last Jump to page:.
