The weekend will be packed with activities related to freeride skiing and everything connected with it and will culminate in an open race for amateurs as well as professionals, the purpose of which will be pure fun.
Send us your own creative photos of the planned pairs to our Facebook. The best photos are going to be rewarded accordingly.
During the festival, you will get a chance to test splitboards, freeride and all mountain skis of top brands with the option of buying.
