A good week for the CoreUPT.com team, some fun activities, good food from the south west of France (excellent!), incredible hosts (our VC's in fact), and lots of fun. Everything is in the video...



The whole team finally got in Tignes last friday, but the weather has not been so nice with us for shootings, but we managed to get a few nice things you'll see very soon.

And this week end there was the CoreUPT Jam Testing, 2 good days when people an fans have been able to test the skis, and it seems people enjoyed it, cf les tests. Don't forget the contest : a full day with the team to win (full package!!!).

Last day for the whole team in this nice country.
Again a special activity with a new thing never done for everybody: cave diving in one of the many caves you have around here.
A really really cold water and a lot of fun with a mud battle at the end.
Long Way back to Tignes: shooting for the riders and test product for the consumers.

TJ arrived yesterday in Stockholm to judge the last comp " city big air" of the year .
He arrived 2 days before the others to work his tricks on Stockholm water ramp with his friend Jon ( so freezing!!!!).
First trainings will be tomorrow with a big CoreUPT team at the start ready to go big: Gus, Colby, Ritchi and TJ in judge

We always give you some news of the freestylers, freeriders but never of our SkierCrosser Xavier.
Don't worry he is in a really good shape but the season didn't begin for him ( that's why!!).
He is training hard between Tignes and Saas Fee getting his skis really fast for the first World cups.
Here is a little picture of him taking some time off between 2 training session.

This last week end, Guerlain had a good idea when he saw a big a big crevasse on the Grande Motte glacier : "hey, we should gap it, right? it would make crazy pictures no?". A few phone calls to Tristan Shu and Dan Ferrer for the shooting crew, and Julien Lange for the team mate session thing... And he was right, that makes great pictures, here is a raw and uncut overview:



And Julien's first try, to show you (with poor filming) (a very little bit) of his skills...



The "real" pictures are coming soon...

We found that by a friend, it's fun, and we decided to promote it. So in a bit of time, along with skis, bindings, and wear (I will speak of wear soon), you will find on CoreUPT.com the Curve, a electric skateboard for the streeet or the dirt track. 3h of autonomy, ut to 40km/h, you can now surf everywhere!

Gus skiing in keystone with his friends say hi ...

Congrats to Gus who edited a nice video and is now qualified for the King of Style in Stockholm next week next to Richti, Colby and TJ ( TJ is here in guest only, not competing ) .

Lets track some of the CoreUPT.com riders, as snow covers the summits...
Adrien Coirier, after a long fall of weight training (and he needed it), gto his brand new MINI Clubman, and we helped him with the stickers job.



On his side, Colby West is back in Dillon, CO, after the in town big air world tour (Zurich, San Fran, London), as seen here in Icer Air, San Francisco (courtesy of Empire Gloves)

Richard is still in really good shape before going to Stockholm next week to defend his "king of style" title.
Les Diablerets resort ( SWI) organised a big air contest yesterday on the thier glacier: the Monster Park
Henrik Harlaut took his first win of the season throwing so crazy switch 144!!!!! Second place for Anders Backe ( NOR) and Richard is third ( normally second but that's the hard low of judgement sports )
It's still a really good result to keep him confident for Sweden.
Candide also went to join him in Les Diablerets yesterday night for the week for some trainings
