Nissan Verbier Extreme

The Verbier Nissan Extreme is the last stop on Freeride World Tour. The competition will take place on the Bec De Rosses. The Bec De Rosses is one of the largest and most challenging faces of the Freeride World Tour.

I have been in Verbier for the last two days. The face of the Bec looks pretty good. It has been incredibly warm in verbier for the last week. The Bec is north facing and still holding snow. The snow looks pretty good, but there are pockets of wind hammered snow through out the face. It will be important to try to choose a line that has good snow.

The competition is scheduled for Saturday and the weather forecast looks good for the comp. The competition schedule is as follows:
