The « Big Final »


• March 20, 2010 : Thyon

As in Villars the girls have had a special place over the past years in Thyon. The resort is located above Sion in the Valais, and has organized girlie freestyle events for four years. Thyon is known to have been one of the best resorts with a snowpark in Switzerland. This is not the first freestyle contest organized there. The choice of this resort for the « grande finale » of NIKITA CHICKITA SWISS TOUR is quite obvious. The NIKITA GOODIE LADY SESSION, organized for four years on the Central Park, has shown the assets of the snowpark. Over the years, riders from all over Europe have come to take part, confirming its reputation.

But nothing could have been started without the vision and effectiveness of the Central Camps. Thanks to this association, made up of about fifty members, the female freestyle crew has been able to establish a reputation on the Swiss as well as European stage. Today, the fact that the project of the NIKITA CHICKITA SWISS TOUR has gone ahead is mainly due to the confidence they granted to the female freestyle at the time of the organization of the NIKITA GOOGIE LADY SESSION. Congratulations to them… and congratulations also to the direction of Télé-Thyon !

On the level of the snowpark several lines of jumps and jib will be proposed to the riders. More information will follow at the beginning of the season 2009-2010.

More than CHF 5000.- will be at stake for the « grande finale » of theb>NCST 09-10.
