Factory Pilot Invitational, Sappada

The Factory Pilot Invitational snowboarding contest will be held in Sappada 2-4 January 2002
The next snowboarding competition to look out for is the Factory Pilot Invitational, Straight Jump Contest. Organised by the Italian Snowboard Federation FSI on 2-4 January in Sappada, it should prove to be a good one.

THE CONTEST
The riders will arrive on Wednesday 2 January and the freeriding comp will be held on Thursday, with Friday dedicated to training and a pyrotechnical grand Final.
The intense programme, combined with an excellent list of riders, should guarantee plenty of fun for all. Up for stakes is a Mini Cooper for first place, a
Ducati Monster 900 for second and an Oakley watch for third.

THE PARTY
Freeriding is as much about snowboarding and skiing as it is partying. And so no competition is complete without a party to round it all up – see you at Sappada!
