Volcom's SPOT TO SPOT in AVORIAZ 2021

Shop the look

The early season snow storm that hit the French Alps brought smiles on everyone’s face for Volcom’s Spot To Spot in Avoriaz!

But the huge snow dump also caused delays and queues in the resort, and after the lifts finally opened the event was on with waist deep runs to join the Side Hits challenge!

 

With kickers and soft landings all along the side of the Combe à Floret run, and the slope being open to contestants only, it was two and a half hours of incredible laps with friends!

No starting order, Pro and Amateurs, Women and Men riding together, cheering on each other action.

To recharge batteries, all participants enjoyed a free BBQ and soup cooked by the infamous Cuisine22, and some refreshments courtesy of Ocean52 water and Lagunitas beers, but unfortunately decision was made to cancel the rail jam at the snowpark in order to run the Pro feature in the village, as the insane snow called for it.

The horde of riders followed the mobile PA and local legend Nico Droz and gathered next to the Mélèze building where a gap/hip was built with a landing on a roof.

After a couple speed check on the tricky run in from event ambassador Arthur Longo and his buddies Sparrow Knox and Morgan Freemason, Arthur finally sent it and opened the show.

As the sun went down, everyone moved to the Electric Après snow at Changabang for more refreshments and the prize giving and the night ended with an impromptu Leopard Ale mini gig at Laury’s Bar in Morzine, celebrating the day and Olivier Gittler’s Bday (strictly following local Covid restrictions).

Huge congrats to the winners, huge thank you to the @avoriaz1800_officiel crew and @Avoriazsz who did an amazing job helping this one go down, and million thanks also to our partners @capitasupercorp @unionbindingco @electric_snow @actsnowboarding @methodmag @woodbrass @lagunitas_fr @_ocean52 @stayhideout
