The latest (fifth) edition of Red Bull Linecatcher, which took place on the slopes of Cirque de Fond Blanc des Arcs, didn’t disappoint.
After being postponed for a few days because of bad weather, the event finally got under way on Wednesday.
As was predicted of this prestigious big mountain competition – one of the pinnacles of freeskiing – the action was varied, fast and stylish, with French skier Sam Favret taking first ahead of America’s Parker White and Nicolas Vuignier from Switzerland.
