TIGNES AIRWAVES – LAUNCH OF THE “LAURENT FAVRE INVITATIONAL”
The famous ski and snowboarding resort Tignes, in the French Alps, will host the largest ever European meeting of alternative snow and motor sports from the 7th to the 11th of January 2008. These events will include ski and snowboard halfpipe, ski and snowboard quarterpipe, skicross, boardercross, freestyle motocross, fourcross VTT and the innovative “Back to Powder” ski concept on the 10th of January.
12 of Europe’s best extreme skiers will take part in the “Back to Powder” race. 7 will be chosen by ski icon Oxbow Team rider Laurent Favre, and the remainder will come from the cream of the halfpipe and freeride disciplines.
The participants will be chosen over the next three weeks. This event, mixing freestyle and freeride, reflects Laurent’s unique spirit and vision for the sport. Riders will shape the ski course and judge the competition.
Why not get over to Tignes for January the 10th and enjoy the beautiful landscape, warm atmosphere and what is set to be an entertaining event.
