Dider Cuche, Didier Défago, Luc Alphand and Chemmy Alcott will all be in Verbier on 2nd April along with more of the best skiers of the pro-circuit for the 12th Verbier High Five By Carlsberg.
Didier Cuche who earlier this year won his 4th Kitzbühel Downhill Gold medal, and last week gained a Silver for the World Championship downhill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, is celebrating the end of yet another fantastic season. “Didier holds this festive event very dear to his heart, because he loves its friendly and competitive spirit and the close contact he can have with his fans.” said the events organisers.
Britain’s Chemmy Alcott will be back for the fifth time although due to her major injury at the start of the season, this time as an ‘ambassador’ with duties including taking part in the entertainment and partying.
The Verbier High Five begins in the resort’s Place Centrale at 6pm on Friday 1st April, with an Opening Party and the presentation of the Pros.
At 10am on Saturday 2nd, five races are planned (Giant Slalom, “Speedtrap” downhill, Skier-cross, the Carlsberg Triathlon and the concluding Parallel Slalom). Throughout, the public will have the chance to be near the stars whilst the best of the amateur racers will make up pro-am teams for the Parallel Slalom.
Following the racing and prize-giving, comes the «After–ski» party to be held at Pub Montfort, where the Pros enjoy to party with their fans. And, to conclude the Verbier High Five by Carlsberg, the Pros will join Verbier’s annual Charity Dinner, for the benefit of “Right To Play”.
