ATHLETE
INSCRIPTION - New system announced

Due to the massive amount of
inscription forms already sent to the Verbier Ride administration, it was
necessary to change the process of inscription for the quality of the event
and the safety of the riders.
Within the last month alone, 300 riders have inscribed. We have consequently updated
the COMPETITION page of www.verbierride.com with simple
guidelines and regulations which must be followed. Please read thoroughly and have a
referee confirm your level and ability to enter the competition. Deadline
to inscribe is 4th February. The start list for the qualification day will
be announced on the Verbier Ride website on 5th
February.
