The mythical Tram Face left untouched… for now. Second stage of the Freeride World Tour, ended with the cancellation of the second day. The organizers were obliged to regretfully cancel the much awaited second day focusing on the quality of the competition and riders’ security. 

The mythical Tram Face is still to be conquered. After a fantastic first day of competition on the Silverado Face (Friday, February 27th), a winter storm hit the California mountains thus the second day of competition of the Tram Face cannot take place. 

After having admired the slopes and thinking about possible lines, the Freeride World Tour riders will leave the United States for Europe for the third stage and a new challenge: the Nissan Freeride de Tignes that will take place Monday, March 9th.

The competition results from the Silverado face are the final results for the Nissan Tram Face de Squaw Valley USA. For the snowboarders, Xavier de Le Rue (FRA), moves to the top of the Freeride World Ranking taking third in Squaw Valley with an amazing run. With the unfortunate injury of Cyril Neri (SUI), Xavier is now leading and hopes to be Freeride World Champion as in 2008. Jonas Emery (SUI), with an impressive run on the Silverado, will attempt to catch the Frenchmen, notably at the Nissan Xtreme de Verbier, no his home turf. Squaw Valley, and the winners of the first two tour stops Jess McMillan (USA) and Elyse Saugstad (USA).

A new aspect of the tour, the four riders that lead each category have been given the ‘Golden Bib’, a point of distinction that they will wear for the next stage in Tignes.
