Freeride World Tour 2010

The Freeride World Tour has long been a familiar name among winter sports fans and is also considered a winter trend sport. The level and worldwide reach of this top series have been growing for years, making the 2010 season’s event calendar quite impressive. Although the Freeride World Tour 2010 will consist of just four events, visits to three continents more than live up to its name. And these are no ordinary locations: they are some of the most challenging and famous freeride slopes in the world.

It is only fitting that the Freeride World Tour 2010 kicks off in Sochi, which lies in the Asian part of Russia and has already been selected to host the 2014 Winter Olympics. From the Chamonix ski area in the French Alps, the tour moves on to Squaw Valley in California. The “Tram Face” at Squaw Valley is considered one of the most challenging slopes of all and can rightly be seen as a highlight of the Freeride World Tour 2010.

The final decision in the battle for the overall victory in the ski and snowboard disciplines of the Freeride World Tour 2010 will ultimately be made in March in Verbier, a well-known ski resort in Switzerland. Verbier also features regularly on the Tour de France route, including during the most recent Tour of France, held this summer. Anyone who wants to see for themselves whether last year’s winners Aurélien Ducroz and Ane Enderud (both skiing), as well as Xavier de le Rue and Susan Mol (both snowboarding), can defend their titles should not wait too long to book a holiday apartment in Verbier.
