Forever Freeride

Forever Freeride tells the story of five-time Verbier Xtreme snowboard champion Steve Klassen. Born and raised in California, Steve had his first taste of snowboarding in 1973. With snowboarding still in its infancy, Steve began chasing bigger and steeper mountains finding himself making numerous first descents in Alaska by the early 1990's. As Alaska became more costly, Steve found his way to Verbier Switzerland where competitive freeriding was beginning to blossom. Steve quickly developed an infatuation with the steep and rugged Bec des Rosses, a venue so challenging that it would keep him coming back to compete year after year. His success and insight would help shape both the Verbier Xtreme and Freeride World Tour contests. Now, as Steve's legacy evolves into the role of ambassador, he looks to help the next generation of riders as they take on the Bec des Rosses. Each winter, Steve brings both his family and shop staff to Verbier while he prepares to support the riders of the Freeride World Tour finale-- The world's greatest freeride snowboard contest! Featuring: Steve Klassen, Jeremy Jones, Xavier de le Rue, Géraldine Fasnacht, Liam Rivera and many more.
