The Freeride World Tour recently stopped in Chamonix and was marked by the victory of Loic Collomb-Patton of France, his second one in a short lap after his win in Courmayeur, Italy. He made a huge impression on the face of the Aiguille Rotten. Aurélien Ducroz of France who withdrew from the competition, was also present and was pleased with a big backflip.
Garrett Altmann of the USA skied fast on a very aesthetic line and showed a beautiful engagement on his jump in the steepest part; a second place well deserved. Another Frenchman was on the podium as Mickael Bimboes took third place. Next Freeride World Tour stop will be in Fieberbrunn, Austria.
