Event Previews & Reviews from Morzine

Rock The Pistes 2017 has returned to the Portes Du Soleil.

Summer may be drawing slowly to a close but there's still plenty going on in Avoriaz, Morzine & Les Gets before the lifts shut. 

As I got out of bed this morning to start the working week I began to regret our decision to head through to Les Gets early on Sunday and to make the most of the day by riding from start to finish with only a 45 minute break...

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.

The Banff Mountain Film Festival showcases short films made by normal people who have big dreams. When I say normal, I suppose they’re not really. They undertake feats that most people only ever see in films or imagine doing in their dreams.

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.

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.
