Too much snow in Verbier for Slopestyle event

Ride Freesport have taken the decision to reschedule this weekends Verbier Ride 12 Slopestyle Event to later in the season.

Yet more snow is forecast for Verbier this weekend and unfortunately it will make it impossible for the event to take place.  The effort, energy and time that goes into constructing a Slopestyle course is immense and there will not be enough time to re-construct the course after the new snowfall on Saturday or Sunday.

Conditions and visibility need to be perfect for an event like this to ensure safety and for the athletes to be able to show off their true ability.  45 competitors have been informed of the decision, but they are hoping to hold the event later on in the season.  Meanwhile there is plenty of fresh powder for them to enjoy!
