Nissan Sochi Russian Adventure 2009 Compilation And a Video Clip

Our friends and contributors Jarkko Henttonen and Anni Karvinen posted a quite interesting and informative series of posts from Sochi, Russia and Krasnaya Poliana Ski Resort. Both Jarkko and Anni tour the Freeride World Tour for the whole season – Jarkko as a judge and Anni as a competitor.

Check out these trip report stories for some great information about skiing in Krasnaya Poliana and Nissan Russian Adventure freeride competition. Below is also an embedded video from the competition organisers – pretty amazing terrain and skiing/riding (combined with some “behind the scenes” footage, judging and guiding work, and few crazy crashes from the competition runs! Backflips and frontflips too, of course…)
