Snowboard World Championship, matos is gratos!

For such an unusual salon, it is an unusual salon! No stall here to present the top new snowboards and the tendencies of winter 2006-2007.

It is an outdoor show, between 3.200 and 3.600 meters high, on the glacier, especially open for the occasion, and freestyle adepts have great fun on the Les 2 Alpes Snowpark, one of the most beautiful of Europe.

One can come there with almost nothing. On those days, the manufacturers freely lend material and the very latest models. One of the best ways to test them, under the most extreme conditions: those of the users who do not spare them.

During those six days, the station vibrates like never before. There is everything in the program, videos (with a flash back on the snow sports evolution from the Fifties to the present day), photo expo, freestyle show by night, demonstrations, competitions, meetings with champions...

To note in particular, under the big top installed at 1.650 meters alt., the exhibition of boards customized by artists such as Mist, Tilt, Truk, Mush, Gum... Amateurs will appreciate...

And even more, for the girls, who are not less crazy about gliding, one day, Saturday, will be especially reserved for them. They will be supervised by champions such as Sandra Laoura, Vanessa Colletta, Sandrine Clavein...

Their base camp, baptized "Girls Camp", is at 3.200 meters high on the Snowpark.

It is there that they will meet the six pro-riders coached by Oxbow & Jeevice, responsible to pilot them in the salon, to choose material and to give them advice about gliding. Fifty of them (it is necessary to register on the Internet) will be chosen and followed a whole day by a photographer, who will spend his time shoot photos them. Wow!
