Videos from Val d'Isere - The White Battle 2009
You must have Javascript enabled.
The White Battle was a local organised and run competition. Twelve teams made up of a skier, snowboarder and rookie went head to head in a knock-out comp. Each team had to pull the best tricks they could off the kicker at the bottom of the Face to go through to the next round.
The teams represented local companies like La Folie Deuce, Dick's T Bar and the Val d'Isere board park.
There were drinks, food and music for the crowds and a festival atmosphere throughout the night.
It was the first comp of it's kind, but hopefully not the last.

Videos from Val d'Isere - Criterium de la Premiere Neige December 08
You must have Javascript enabled.
The first big event in the Val d’Isere winter calendar this year was the Criterium de la Premiere Neige. The world’s top skiers gathered on the Face to start the competitive ski season. We went to watch the skiers only to be greeted with one of the best starts to the season Val had seen in several years, so after a morning watching the downhillers to do their thing we squeezed in a quick slide around the Espace Killy and we were not disappointed. Parks open in both Val and Tignes and plenty of snow the season in the Espace Killy is off to a great start! Little did we know there was more to come.

If you have been waiting eagerly for the ski lifts to open since May then you period of expectation is almost at an end. Although the new season doesn’t really start until the beginning of December, there are a number of different shows and festivals happening at the end of October that precede the new winter and herald in the new season.
For those wanting to shop, the London Olympia Metro Ski & Snowboard Show is a great place to start your winter season. All the major brands from both the ski and snowboard world are in attendance, all the latest equipment is on show and available to buy.
If that seems a little too indoors then a trip to Les Deux Alpes for the Mondial du Freeski is for you. Here you can test this winter's equipment from some of the newest companies in the ski world on the largest skiable glacier in France. It looks set to be a great winter!

This year’s festival has something for everyone with a show ground for new cars, demonstrations from drivers and trial riders and stalls with everything from tires to tents.
