Fans of the Winter X Games, last held with such spectacular success in Aspen, Colorado will need to hone their French skills. Those fortunates who live in France may want to head towards Tignes as that is where the next Winter X Games will be held.
The Tignes Ski and Snowboard Resort was co-host to the 1992 Winter Olympics, so it has all the experience (and the terrain) needed to take on the fast-paced events scheduled for the 10th through the 12th of March this year. This is the first time the freestyle ski, snowboard and snowmobile exhibition has been to Europe, and the turnout is expected to be massive.
This snowsport event brings the top athletes in the field together in an all-out contest of skills that is unique and unparalleled in the world of winter sports. Eight events are on the schedule, including SuperPipe ski and snowboard, Slopestyle ski and snowboard, and
Snowmobile Best Trick.
Competitors on the roster are the top of the class worldwide in every category. Names that every fan will know, like Kevin Rolland, Mathieu Crepel, Simon Dumont and Gretchen Bleiler in the SuperPipe, Eric Willett and Eero Ettala in Slopestyle and Daniel Bodin the snowmobiler as well as dozens of others will be competing for fame and big prizes. New records are sure to be set.
The levels of both skill and enthusiasm are at such a peak that these Winter X Games are truly awesome to watch, whether from the sidelines (if you’re really lucky) or on one of the worldwide networks including ESPN.
