More news from the town on top of the cliff – Looks like we may be seeing the likes of Gracia up here this summer. From the look of this video, it’s going to be a pretty big event. Here’s a press release (obviously directly translated from French, but you get the idea)
An artificial run for sure, but not totally… The first slopestyle Roof’an takes place in the heart of the village, not on the ground level but on the roofs of buildings. Knowing that the resort already peaks up at 1800 m of altitude height, the organizers of the first Slopestyle of Avoriaz put a very high helm. The run punctuated with gaps, jumps, wall rides, big airs, footbridges and other committed obstacles is a model of its kind, as we rarely see in the Alps. With this innovative plan, the competitors are not going to believe their eyes and will really have to “go big” to take the win.

From 13th till 15th of July of this year, climb the mountain up to Avoriaz because that is going to be the big thing of the summer with the best riders of the discipline: Cédric Gracia, Carlo Dieckmann, Thomas Genon, Pierre-Edouard Ferry, Christopher Hatton, Aurelie Tournier and Yannick Granieri…Â
I’m just so glad we’re going to be here for it! The Megavalanche was looking like it may clash, but this is on the Monday + Tuesday afterwards.
Nice
