World Snowboard Federation General Assembly

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.
