Looking for Female Junior SB Freeriders

The Freeride World Tour (FWT) is organizing the Freeride Junior World Championships in Grandvalira Andorra at the beginning of February 2015 (weekend of the 7th).

While the men category is filled, the organizers are lacking SNOWBOARD GIRLS to have an exciting competition. Accepted are riders from 14 to 17 years old.  We therefore ask the NSAs, whether you know one or some female riders that would like to compete?

ABOUT THE EVENT:

– The competition will be FWT standards with one run, FWT judges, live webcast (etc.) and a World Champion title in the end.

– Registered so far is one girl from Spain and a couple girls from France but the organizers are lacking all other countries to be represented. FWT is aiming at 6-8 girls at the start, so there would be some room for your proposals.

HIGH LEVEL RIDING SKILLS REQUIRED

– The organizers underline the technical difficulties of the competition. Therefore it is very important that the girls who would like to take part, have to be experienced.

– In case of a registration, we therefore encourage you to attach pictures or a movie of the girl(s) showing their freeride skills.

FWT SUPPORT

– FWT will provide free inscription fees, lift tickets and lodging with half board for the junior and 1 adult company plus a small travel budget for the junior (depending on her origin).

For questions, suggestions and more details, please feel free to contact Berti Denervaud, berti@freerideworldtour.com

Livigno is one of the Alps’ most renowned tourism stations – THE VALTELLINA’S FLAGSHIP RESORT – and is set between the Stelvio National Park and the Swiss National Park. Over the decades the town has flawlessly preserved its  environmental, natural and architectural characteristics. Way has been made for modernity but always in keeping with the local culture and traditions, and maintaining the surrounding areas as pristine as ever. This is why Livigno is paradise for anyone who LOVES HOLIDAYS CLOSE TO NATURE and wishes to spend time relaxing, breathing in fresh air and enjoying the mountain sunshine.
