Event Previews & Reviews from Morzine

It's going to be another fun week in Morzine with lots of apres ski parties going on that you really shouldn't miss.

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”.

It’s a new year and the town and slopes are quieter, it’s one of the best times to visit.

As the best freeriders in the world gather in Revelstoke this weekend for the first stop on the all-new Swatch Freeride World Tour by The North Face, we were fortunate to be able to have a sit down with a free skiing legend, holder of the world record for the highest cliff jump and super nice guy - Fred Syversen.

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.

Fête de la Musique is the celebration that takes place every summer solstice on 21st June in cities, towns and villages across France.

Meet one of Britian's best Freestyle medal chances at the Sochi Olympics; James Woods.

It's been a great week in Morzine with the Tour de France arriving on Saturday but there's still plenty of things to see and do in Les Gets & Morzine in the week ahead..

How the team trains for the Olympics and how they came to be a team in the first place.

There's plenty on the calendar this week & beyond to keep you entertained.

Les Gets bike park always opens a few weekends before the lifts are open full time for the summer season and this year's dates have just been announced.
