Come meet the riders at the SKM event where you will get a chance to talk to them and see what snowkiting is all about. Everyone will be having fun and this is what the SKM is all about,
share the experience and come watch the masters ride on the snow and push kiteboarding to the limit and beyond.

Many events will be taking place, we will be running the "Freestyle World Champion which will take place on the 7th to 11th of January 2013. The French Racing and Freestyle competition will take place on both ski and snowboarding disciplines.
The public will also be able to take place in the"Race" which will be a long-distance back country rout. The French Championship Race will be held on the 5th to 6th of January

The sport of freedom and excellence, snowkiting is practiced in harmony with the mountains and nature, snowkiting is after all environmentally friendly! The kite can tow a person up a mountain and it is all done eternally by renewable energy: wind power. Combined with the surface nature provides us like terrain from a mountain, wave or land we used it all to practice kiteboarding.
This teaches us to analyse the elements and to enjoy and appreciating the environment.
It's more than a sport, snowkiting is a state of mind and a way of life, we take advantage of the elements: air, snow and the majestic mountains. Guisane Valley enjoys 300 days of sunshine per year boasting some of the most beautiful views of the French Alps with some of the best conditions available for snowkiting giving anyone a chance to snowkite no matter what your level.

The Lautaret is at 2580 meters high altitude so we are very lucky when it comes to good snow and conditions, it is after all the gateway to the Hautes-Alpes. This is a unique show where riders attempt the most daring stunts and demonstrate innovative and the potential of snowkiting, Good times are guaranteed! A SnowkitePark will be made during the Snowkite World Championship Freestyle. This year we expect the best freestyle riders in the world to be taking part to try claim
the award and title of the world championships and the French championship at the end of a week so there will be many familiar faces showing up as well as new ones.

To win the title there will be a best time ranking system in place,**** one must expertly read the terrain and wind choosing there path wisely, Its all about tactics and using the space wisely.
The awards ceremony will be held Sunday 6 at 18:30 and it will be in a amazing big hotel assessed by the cable lift on the Serre-Chevalier 1350 Chantemerle resort.
