Great final in the Wood Zone

 

Friday, February 6th – The Oxbow back to powder has come to an end, with the last day of competition today. 

Skiers and boarders inaugurated the Oxbow “wood zone” which will remain open to the public from this weekend. 

Riders were able to perform amazing tricks in an area built up of wooden features.  

The two Frenchmen, Gerome Mathieu and Brynild Vulin, as well as the Australian Dane Tudor stood above the rest, with a series of great jumps and tricks to impress the public. 

The event will come to an end with a party for the riders and organizers, at the “chalet d’altitude” “Les Arolles”.
