Ride all day, ride all night

Ride all day, ride all night If you can’t get enough of snowboarding and constantly dream of being the next Shaun White then you should be staying at rudechalets. Their recently announced partnerships with Burton Snowboards; Xbox 360 and Ubisoft, the developers of the new Shaun White Snowboarding videogame, provide the basis for a week long snowboarding extravaganza.

By Day: Wake up, eat a hearty breakfast, throw on your gear, grab your board, meet your friends and go riding.

From rudechalets flagship Chalet Christophe in Morzine-Avoriaz you can select one of Burton’s revolutionary 09 boards from their Burton Snowboard Test centre. The on-site facility is stocked with a whole range of brand new kit show casing the latest ICS / EST* binding technology designed by the team in Vermont. The high altitude snow sure ski area of Avoriaz is just 500m from the chalet giving you access to over 650km of pistes, 4 snow parks & miles of backcountry trails. And last winter Avoriaz saw the arrival of the Burton Stash - Europe’s first ever eco snowboard park designed by the legendary Jake Burton himself.

If you need help to hone your freestyle technique then rudechalets have sponsored riders on hand to give advice on style and stance which will get you charging the Stash like a pro.

By night: Head back to the chalet, soak in the hot tub, have a drink with your mates, eat a well-earned dinner, rig up the Xbox 360 to the 42” plasma screen and once again - you are ready to go riding.

All rudechalets properties are pimped to the max including an Xbox 360 in every bedroom. This means you can play the brand new Shaun White Snowboarding videogame and continue shredding the mountain long after the lifts have shut and the sun has set. You can choose how, where and with whom you want to ride. The videogame offers 16 resorts which span four different continents...but all in good time...before hitting the slopes you can choose to don some of the latest Burton snowboarding gear.

You and up to 15 of your mates can then ride together - sessioning the parks, cruising the pistes, shredding the backcountry and even hiking to secret spots. And if you fancy a break you can take your board off to film your fellow riders and then upload your videos to the web.

In addition to Xbox 360 & Shaun White Snowboarding all rudechalets have table football’s; flat screens; iPod docking; media centers; walkie-talkies; Free WiFi, guest computers, some cool décor and funky snow art. Their fully catered service includes free airport transfers from Geneva, ensuite accommodation, half board, unlimited wine & mountain hosting in Morzine-Avoriaz.
