B&E Invitational Les Arcs: Competitors Announced
Most of the competitors for this years event have been named with a few more to come
Henrik Harlaut and his freestyle partner in crime Phil Casabon have confirmed the full line up for the fast approaching B&E Invitational, taking place on the 11th and 12th March.
Fresh from his X-Games gold medal win in Aspen, New Zealander Jossi Wells will be making his way to Les Arcs, along with American ski legend, Tanner Hall. Alongside them will be Tom Wallisch (USA), Torin Yater-Wallace (USA), Ahmet Dadali (USA), Clayton Villa (USA), Jon Olsson (SWE), Adam Delorme (USA), Jules Bonnaire (FRA), Sami Ortleib (SUI), Yoshiya “Bull” Urata (JAP), Max Hill (CAN), Kye Peterson (CAN), and Lucas Stal Madisson (SWE).
The B&E is fast becoming a beloved weekend in the Les Arcs winter calender. It aims to bring together world-class freestyle skiers to an event that combines style and the highest level of technical ability. The competitors will showcase their skills throughout the weekend, aiming for gold for competitions such as ‘Best Trick' and 'Best Style'.
As well as the pros, the line-up also includes the winners of the B&E video contest, Joona Kangas (FIN) and Alex Beaulieu-Marchand (CAN). Over 35 videos were submitted from all over the globe, and after a public vote that brought the entries down to 5 videos, the lucky twosome were handpicked by Harlot and Casabon to join the pros on the slopes above Les Arcs 1800.
On Alex, Henrik stated: “Alex is super stylish and really technical. He showed us how hungry he was for the wildcard so we’re stoked to have him at this year’s B&E.”
On Joona, Phil commented: “I had never really heard of Joona before, and actually discovered him through his edit for the video contest. He has a really different, unusual style so it’ll be really cool to see him ski our crazy set-up.”
You can see Joona, Alex and the rest of the gang throughout the B&E Invitational in Les Arcs 1800 from 11th-12th March.
