Verbier Xtreme Postponed.
It is still snowing in Verbier. The FWT Organization just announced that the competition will be postponed. The weather looks good, but the new snow has fallen on an old firm layer of snow. The competitors have not been told the athletes why the competition has been postponed, but I can only assume it is for the safety of the riders due to unstable snow conditions.
“At a meeting between riders and FWT organizers it has been decided that the Nissan Xtreme Verbier 2011 by Swatch will be postponed and will not be held on Saturday, 19 March as originally scheduled.
It has also been confirmed that the Freeride Juniors Verbier 2011 by Swatch will now be held on Saturday, 19 March at 11:00 a.m.
On Friday at 19:00, organizers will make another decision about the possibility of holding the event on Sunday, 20 March.” www.freerideworldtour.com
The bib draw will be held tomorrow and we should find out more then. Happy St. Patty’s Day!
Jess,
Has the FWT every tried scheduling comps like surf comps. Where they have a 1-3 week window and do the comp when conditions are ideal after a big storm. It pains me to see you guys compete on poor/firm conditions.
Thanks
