Swatch Skiers Cup

1 Сен 2012 - 9 Сен 2012

Valle Nevado,

The Swatch Skiers Cup, the first-ever continental team freeski event, will return to Valle Nevado, Chile, from September 1-9, 2012. Sixteen of the world’s best freeskiers competing in both big mountain and backcountry slopestyle have the shot to bring back home the treasured Swatch Skiers Cup trophy.

Two teams of eight Riders, led by captains Mark Abma (Team America) and Sverre Lilliequist (Team Europe), will battle in a series of man-to-man duels in the Chilean Andes. A skier winning his duel scores one point for his team and the team with the most points at the end of the two-day competition gains possession of the Swatch Skiers Cup trophy for one year.

All 16 skiers have been hand-picked by the two captains. Teams’ composition was announced last weekend at Xtreme Verbier, the finals of the Swatch Freeride World Tour 2012.
