Event Previews & Reviews from Morzine

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.

They came and they conquered… Despite temperatures close to 40 degrees, 11,158 cyclists completed this year’s Etape du Tour which ended in Morzine.

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

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 Ski and Snowboard show is for many the first event of the winter. Pick up the latest kit, catch up with friends and enjoy the party. It'll be a couple of months before you can do it for real.

The winter season might be starting to wind down but this week in town promises to be a huge one!
