Quiksilver is creating a brand new winter meeting that will bringtogether the world's very best freestyle snowboarders in France, on Friday 3 April 2009.

The last Super Pipe competition to be held in France before the Winter Olympics in 2010, the Quiksilver Chromatophobia aims to establish itself as one of Europe's major snowboard meetings.

After historic events like the Quik Cup and the Slopestyle Pro, Quiksilver has opted for La Plagne, the European mecca of freestyle, which will this year be hosting the FIS Freestyle Skiing World Cup Final from March 18th to 21st, and Urban Plagne (www.urbanplagne.com), from April 1st to 3rd, sponsored by Quiksilver and preceding Chromatophobia

King of Snow

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.

The format

Ludique et original, le format de compétition, inspiré du Mathieu Crepel Invitational 2008, propose à chaque concurrent de désigner ses figures favorites qui seront regroupées dans un pot commun.

Ces tricks seront tirés au sort par les juges et les concurrents auront l'obligation de les intégrer dans leur run avec des figures additionnelles de leur choix.
