Mottolino Freeride Experience opens in Livigno
Famous for being the Italian resort with one of the best snowparks in Europe, Mottolino Fun Mountain now presents for the 2012 season the brand new “Mottolino Freeride Experience”.
The perfect day for a freestyler is split between riding the snowpark and shredding powder and Mottolino knows it well and that's why it's introducing this new project for backcountry riding.
You will have the chance to discover Vallaccia which is the most famous
backcountry area in Livigno with the support of 4 guides, headed by Marco Confortola who
has climbed K2 eight times the Earth's second highest and arguably the most difficult peak.
Safety equipment will be provided for each participant and if you are lucky enough on
snow conditions, you will have the chance to shred the infamous fresh powder line of
Marco Simoncelli, a rider, a skier and first of all, a friend of the Mottolino crew.
Located in one of the most beautiful ski alpine areas, Livigno is often named "The Little
Tibet” because of it's epic snow fall and perfect temperatures giving nothing short of
heavenly conditions for backcountry.
Those looking to progress their riding should look no further than the Mottolino
