This week events went off at Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows California as the US Freeheel Open took place bringing out the best riders from all over the country and even a few from Europe. Spectacular moves and huge progression as the best of the best fought it out for the top spot (see coverage in the articles section).

We hope that you are enjoying your season and that new snow is finding your home town where you ride and hang out. Not much time is left to shred to get to it ya’ll!
Thanks! – The FHL Crew

  • From 1st to 8th April, 2006, Livigno will be the scene of the XII staging of one of the biggest international events dedicated to free heel skiing, with many events aimed at making the Free Heel Fest unique and special, a week of festivities with sport and pure entertainment.
    After its success in 2005, it was indispensable to stage the second edition of the International Film Festival, the contest in which the film entries will be divided into two categories, long footage and short footage movies.
    With this second edition, enriched by the knowledge of the high cailbre of the film actors participating in the first one, returns a moment best loved by the visitors to the Free Heel Fest, who are waiting to see, captured in pictures, the excitements experienced gliding over the immense snow-covered slopes of Livigno.
    All types of movies are admitted to the contest, from narratives to animations, from documentaries to more experimental video clips, everything that can be projected onto the screen ... as long as the undisputed lead star is telemark skiing!
    Long and short footage movies will be screened alternately, two different categories to portray, in different vernacular, telemark and everything revolving around this sporting discipline, from the more technical aspects to the free interpretation of this kind of sport, which represents a veritable way of life.
    There will be two winners, one for each category, judged by a qualified international jury comprising representatives of the world of sport, cinema and information.
