The event at La Plagne will also be hosting the final of King Of Snow, the first amateur snowboard competition on the web, sponsored by Quiksilver.
How it works: from December 2008 to March 2009, every fortnight, a pro-snowboarder performs a reference move that participants in the game, registered on www.urbanplagne.com, must then reproduce before posting videos of their exploits on the website. Over the weeks, the amateurs are judged by the website visitors and ranked. After missing four events, a candidate is eliminated. After six events, the top four snowboarders in the rankings will be invited to the Quiksilver Chromatophobia to take part in the final, the last stage of the game which will see the overall champion named: the "King of Snow".
