Event Previews & Reviews from Les 2 Alpes

December is when the lifts are opening and the Christmas holidays are on the horizon.

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.

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.

Episode four of One Team to Sochi is out and it's all about the young lad from Bradford; Jamie Nicholls.

Les Deux Alpes’ unusual trail running challenge returned for its sixth and perhaps its toughest instalment this weekend.

Some competitors had a shorter run and others a longer one but all had a difficult time trying to race through deep snow.
