Supreme Tignes – Winter X-Games 2010

Residents of Tignes are in shell shock after the Winter X-Games shredded through the French resort.  The event was a massive success, a milestone for European freeskiing and snowboarding.  The pipe and slopestyle courses were moulded to perfection – Olympic standards.  A huge turnout of world-class athletes, with some unreal performances.  The resort was a big hit with the Pros – many blown away by the enormity of ski area.

The first ever European Winter X-Games was a showcase as to how a competition should be run.  Tignes has proved itself to be a resort which can host comps of the highest calibre.  The event was smoothly run and incredibly entertaining.

Highlights

Iouri Podladtchikov SuperPipe Gold

Kaya Turski Slopestyle Gold




Jenny Jones Slopestyle Gold




The X-Games will be returning to Tignes for the next two seasons.  On the strength of this weeks proceedings it will almost certainly grow and next year we can expect to see big air and boarder/ski cross added to the bill.
