Full Moon Freeride Tignes

2010 dates to be confirmed

This event, the only one of its kind in France, is being organised by Evolution 2, in partnership with Oakley and CoreUpt.
Under a perfect full moon, the 20 best French freeriders will confront each other in the Tufs Couloirs. Led by the 4 times world freeride world champion, Guerlain Chicherit, (back on home turf), the riders will launch themselves into the steep, narrow and untracked couloirs known as ‘the fingers’.
Judged by (amongst others) Laurent Niol, Olympic skier, the pressure is on the riders to face the notorious challenges of these couloirs to become the best Full Moon Free Rider of 2009.
With an altitude difference of nearly 500 meters, the Tufs Couloirs are situated in between the “Trolles” and “piste H” slopes and plunge down to the frozen lake of Tignes.
Perfectly situated in the middle of the lake, the freeride village has the best view of the riders for all our partners. As the Tufs Couloirs take centre stage all eyes will surely be on this spectacle in its moonlight glory.
After the prize giving ceremony, held in front of the tourist office in Tignes le Lac, the night will continue with a dinner for the riders and guests followed by a full moon party in the Melting Pot club open to everybody.
