O'Neill Big Mountain Freeride Competition

The second edition of the Swatch O'Neill Big Mountain Pro is about to kick off. This freeride snowboarding competition is set kind of like a surfing event. Waves are fickle and so is powder snow. So surfing events have a few day window in which they must complete the competiton. Well O'Neill Big Mountain event will have eight days and the whole Alps in Europe to find out who is the best big mountain snowboarder and skier. From February 24th 24 of the world's best snowboarders and skiers will come together to roam the European Alps on a search for optimum conditions. At the end of the 8 day journey the best freerider will be crowned.
