Courchevel
The first Columbia Ride Week – A Huge Success! Throughout the week and despite the weather not always being perfect, eight teams of riders taking part in the Columbia Ride Week captured some amazing images in the Courchevel ski area. After 12 years, the traditional Courchevel freeride event was transformed into The Columbia Ride Week. A new concept was unveiled this year based on a ski movie competition. For the first time, eight team from Japan right across to Sweden via Austria, Switzerland and also Portugal competed! From the 5th to the 10th of March, the riders benefited from a huge playing field: The Courchevel ski area. Restricted to strict specifications, each team were challenged to create a movie lasting seven minutes that was presented at the end of the week in front of professional judges. In the Croisette hall, last Friday, a large audience came to support the riders and see the fruits of their labour. All appreciated the riders actions and exploits throughout the movies in high sensations. The athletes invested a lot of time and energy into the competition taking it seriously and professionally. The movies each had great storyline set behind a fantastic backdrop infused with a great sense of humour. The winning team from Japan returned home with 5500 euros, which was especially amazing since they started the week without any equipment, which was lost during the flights transfer!

Rankings for the 1st Columbia Ride Week : 1. JAPAN (riders : Sasaki Daisuke and Ohta Yoshitaka , cameraman : Mori Haruhito and photographer : Yamada Hiroyuki) 2. FRANCE (riders : Manu Gaidet and brother Julien Gaidet, cameraman : Olivier Leroy and photographer: Nicolas Joly) 3. SWEDEN (riders : Marja Persson and Emmanuel Hedvall, cameraman : Henrik Andersson) PRESS CONTACT: Laurence BOURGEOIS -  : +33 479 01 44 18 - presse@courchevel.com
