Riders and organizers meet this morning at the Bar de la Ferme. One hour later, the visibility gets better and everybody moves to the official site. There's fresh snow and the north-west wind blows between 10 and 12 knots.
At 11.30pm, the skiers begin their second round. The level is very homogeneous and the riders try new tricks. Fabio Ingrosso (CH) wins and the public is delighted with the show. Right after, women run the final of the second round they began last Wednesday. They show a great level and the public loves it !! Titaua Ropiteau (F) grabs the first place.
It's 2.30pm and there are around 15 knots of wind... The organizers want to run as many heats as possible, so the second snowboard round begins. The level of the riders is very close but Guillaume Chastagnol (F) wins once again. Last round of this great day is the junior's one, won by Thomas Cocquelet (new comer in snowkite's world but current Junior Kitesurf French Champion).
This first step of the 2004 Corona Extra Winter Tour and Snowkite French Championship ends in the best conditions... Tonight's party should be great too : Dj Djuckson specially came to liven up the night, after price giving and last diner.of this crazy 2004 event at the Col du Lautaret.
