With winter fast approaching, we're getting fired up for the B&E Invitational, the most anticipated freeski event of the winter, once more In Les Arcs, France on March 11th and 12th, 2016.
In 2014, Phil Casabon (CAN) and Henrik Harlaut (SWE), an indivisible pair of freeskiing stars, created a never before seen concept by building a completely original course and inviting the world’s best freeskiers to join them for an epic shred session. After a successful second edition in 2015, with over 5,000 spectators onsite and 50,000 unique viewers online, B&E Invitational is back with another incredible roster of riders, a bigger feature and even more epic live-music acts.
AN EVEN MORE CREATIVE SHAPE
A true «skatepark on snow», the 2016 B&E Invitational course is one of a kind and possibly the most creative snow feature ever built. Famous for its massive size and its innumerable options, this year’s course will only be revealed to the athletes and spectators during the event’s first training session.
MORE MUSIC FOR TWICE THE FUN
To highlight the important link between freeskiing and music, the B&E Invitational will be hosting internationally renowned artists such as Walshy Fire from Major Lazer and, following Masta Killa’s incredible performance in 2015, another member of the Wu-Tang Clan for a series of unforgettable concerts.
A LIST OF INTERNATIONAL RIDERS: LEGENDS AND MEDALLISTS
Joining Henrik & Phil in the first group of invited riders are Tom Wallisch, Jossi Wells, Noah Albaladejo, and the American freeski legend Tanner Hall. More information about the riders in the Media Kit linked blow and in the PR letter attached.
