Event Previews & Reviews from Morzine

Every other summer in Morzine, the Harley Davidson owners club descends for a long weekend, with thousands of bikes, bikers, beer and live music. 

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.

Meet Ben Kilner one of Britian's best halpipe snowboarders. 

Katie Summerhayes from Sheffield is back on snow for the first time since her ACL injury. She talks about the freeski scene to come out of Sheffield Ski Village and how Woodsy helped to push her when she started out on the European circuit.

Spring has arrived and there's plenty of things to do in Morzine, Les Gets & Avoriaz to keep you entertained.

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.

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.

It seems like only yesterday that we were talking about snow sports, dump alerts and all things winter. Now, the weather is turning and we’re quickly heading towards summer and one of the busiest months in the Portes du Soleil calendar. The eyes of the world will fall on Morzine and Les Gets throughout June as some of the most prestigious sporting events head our way. It’s most definitely a month “not to be missed”.

All good things must come to an end and after ten hugely successful years the Cavern 24/7 film festival is going to be having its final fling this year.

Summer's not over yet, there are still plenty of things going on to keep you entertained.. 

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.

After an amazing start to the Transition Festival with Dizzie Rascal in the Portes du Soleil, there is still more to come this weekend.
