The main event is the freeski film competition that pitches teams of pro riders against each other to produce a high quality and creative film. The riders will have three days to create their movies before showing them to the public. And the stakes are high… there's a prize purse of €10,000 up for grabs!

If you want an opportunity to try out next season's skis there will be more than 200 pairs of 2012 models from brands including Scott, Elan, APO, K2, Armada, Blizzard, Majesty, Ninthward, Dynastar, Line.

In order to be closer to the film viewing theatre, the Urban Base Camp Village is moving to Belle Plagne. The Urban Base Camp Village is open to all (from 10 til 5) and with plenty of entertainment including music, DJ spots, the hottest new slides, Skipass Spring Test, a video game stand (Wii, PS3, XBox), customised Graffiti workshops with Medlakolor, wearable camera trials…
