The Freeride World Tour 2009 came to an end with an amazing fourth stage and grand finale: the Nissan Xtreme - Verbier. Frenchman Aurélien Ducroz, a Dynastar skier, became the 2009 Freeride World Champion with a incredible victory on the Bec des Rosses.
Reine Barkered, the Swedish Dynastar skier who won in Squaw Valley, took 2nd in the Verbier Xtreme and as well as 2nd place in the overall Freeride World Tour.
In the women's competition, Norwegian Dynastar skier, Ane Enderud, dominated and became the Freeride World Champion.
And last but not least, Raphi Gillioz, a Swiss Dynastar skier from Verbier, took 3rd at the Verbier Xtreme -- just behind Reine and Aurélien.

athletes, on Legend skis filled the podium in Verbier and won 2 World
Champions titles! Congratulations to our athletes and thank you for

Encouraged by her entire family who came all the way from Norway, Ane Enderud, chose a creative line with impressive jumps. Thanks to her victory in Verbier, she took her first Freeride World Champion title just ahead of Marja Persson (SWE) and Jess McMillan (USA), who were all on the podium of the Nissan Xtreme - Verbier.
Raphi Gillioz (SUI), Verbier mountain guide and head of the ski patrol in the Mont Fort area mesmerized the huge crowd that gathered at the Col de Gentianes to admire the 14th edition of this legendary competition. By choosing the central line, of which he alone knew the secrets, he climbed to the third step of the podium.
Dynastar filled the podium! Great results and exciting for the Mont Blanc brand that is a pioneer in freeride ski development; a brand fully commited to the freeride discipline and a reference in the ski industry with the Legend series.
