In Barcelona, Spain on May 30-31, 2014, the World Snowboard Federation (WSF), an organization composed of 46 member countries
and which OSV recently joined, hosted its annual meeting.
The world’s
top riders, event organizers, and major industry representatives,
discussed and agreed upon the future of the World Snowboard Tour.
Over the course of the two-day event, the 100 participants
representing all facets of competitive snowboarding, as well as top
international riders like Kiersti Buass, Torstein Horgmo and Stale
Sandbech, met to discuss, develop, and put together the concept for the
World Snowboard Tour version 2.0.
By building a mutually
advantageous partnership between TTR, the riders, and the events,
coupled with a compelling sales model, TTR aims to build snowboarding
into the most exciting winter sport and unite the snowboard community
under one roof.
“The energy and consistency with which the
concept of the World Snowboard Tour 2.0 was developed, discussed and
finally decided without any dissenting votes is overwhelming. TTR is
strengthening the ties between the events, riders and nations. Never
before has such a solid and unified snowboard environment gotten
together to shape the snowboarding future.” (Reto Lamm, president of the TTR Pro Snowboarding).
In parallel, OSV executive director, Rémi Forsans, presented the association to everyone in attendance. He also reiterated the goals for World Snowboard Day (an event that OSV co-organizes) in order to rally the snowboard industry around this international event.
