Freeride World Tour Russia 2009

The 1st stop of the tour took Place in Krasnaya Polyana near the Black Sea resort of Sochi which will Hold the 2014 Winter Olympics. 2 meters of snow fell during the week before the riders arrived and a meter fell on the night we arrived making for epic steep tree skiing and and very sketchy conditions on the top of the mountain. Pictures are of the venues and I will follow it up with a lowdown of the comp and the overall results.
