It's election time in the Swatch Skiers Cup - vote for your favourite for Team Europe and Team Americas ahead of the summit in Chile...
The first-ever continental team freeski event returns to Valle Nevado during the first week of September as 16 of the best skiers battle it out in both Big Mountain and Backcountry Slopestyle competition.
The two teams of eight riders, including Sean Pettit, Bene Mayr and Richard Permin, will be led by captains Mark Abma (Team Americas) and Sverre Lilliequist (Team Europe) as they compete in a series of man-to-man duels in the Chilean Andes.
The eighth member of each team is still to be decided and fans can help the captains choose by suggesting names of riders they would like to see compete via “Help find the 8th Rider” Facebook page.
A balanced team, fusing talent from the freestyle scene together with experienced freeriders, is the key to success at the Swatch Skiers Cup: make your choice count and may the best team win!
