Finally the day is here…no wind but spirits were high with everyone on good form, everyone helping out and generally a happy party atmosphere…
The rails were put in postion, checked by the local master Chasta…
Matthieu and Gregoire Blanchard, owners of www.abyn.fr have done an incredible job for us in building the sweetest rails yet seen at a snowkite event. Matt and Gregoire also produce the sweetest mountain boards and longboards..check out their webpage… Matthieu is also one of the leading extreme snowkiters pushing back the boundaries of whats possible with a kite
All the riders helped shovel the snow to build a kicker in front of the rails
RedBull was flowing and once the village was sorted local ski instructor/snowkiter and Ozone Team rider Johann Civel took the riders to his secret spots at the great ski resort Monetier, Serre Chevalier where they managed to find thanks to Johann some sweet powder
Some of the media have already arrived with the rest arriving tomorrow for the first official day of the OSKM event. Jim Gaunt and lengendary camera man, Christian Black are here to make sure tonights opening RedBull Party held at the Extreme Bar starts the week off with a bang…
Serre Chevalier doesn’t know whats hit it yet!!!

Cheers
Matt and the Team
