Saas-Fee Ride 09
Saas Fee Free RideThis coming July 18th will see the 7th edition of the Saas-Fee Ride. The competition will be held in the stunning glacial terrain park of the Swiss resort. The Saas-Fee Ride 09 will showcase a perfectly built Big Air kicker for riders to session and attract athletes from all over Europe to throw it down and express their interpretation of modern day skiing.
The event has a great ambience with the relaxed feeling of summer skiing, DJ's on the mountain and a BBQ at the bottom of the Snowpark. The standard of riding is not compromised because of this, just check out the results of the Saas-Fee Ride 08 by clicking on the Orange bar above this text and see the level speak for its self.
A 24 minute programme of the event will be filmed and broadcast later in the summer with YOZ on Eurosport. The programme will be distributed internationally by Quattro Media and achieve several hundred hours of TV time. This year there will also be a Web TV movie (click on the image to the left to see the 2008 event), a Podcast and a 3GP mobile phone compression of the 24 minute edit to maximise the athlete’s exposure across the globe.
