Chamonix again provided the thrills of freeride, hosting the second stage of the Freeride Tour: the Nissan Russian Adventure by Swatch, initially planned to take place in Sochi/Russia, but moved to Chamonix for security reasons and difficult weather conditions. Only the men snowboarders took part in today’s contest, at the north east face of Aiguille Pourrie at the Flégère ski area. With an extremely high performance level, Frenchman Xavier de Le Rue took victory. The multiple X-Games medallist snowboarder Mitch Toelderer AUT are now at the top of the Freeride World Tour Ranking.
