The Concept

Phil Casabon and Henrik Harlaut together are B&E. They felt that it was time to make a slopestyle event that focused as much on style as 'degree of difficulty'. With the sport headed in a new direction with the Olympics, it is the perfect time for this type of format and event linked to a unique feature.

Invitations have been sent to the best freeskiers in the world to shred one of the most creative and unique features ever built. The invitees are good friends of B&E and happen to be some of the best freeskiers of all time including Candide Thovex(FRA), Tanner Hall(USA), Jossi Wells(NZ) and more.

Set right in the heart of the Arc 1800 Village, the goal of the event is to offer a unique slopestyle venue that mixes all the elements which make the sport of freeskiing what it is today. Just like in skateboarding, this event will combine half pipe, bowls, quarter pipes, rails, wall rides, transfers and more. The venue will offer the best playground for the invited skiers to express their ultimate creativity on snow. An enormous amount of work is needed to offer such playground. The shape and construction of the venue will take 200 hours of snow cat time, 15 days of shaping and over 20.000 cubic meter of snow. Everything is orchestrated by Scandinavian Shaper and Les Arcs slope services. The B&E Inventational is an occasion for the best freeskiers in the world to showcase their talent in a perfect environment at one of the best places to ride in all of Europe. (High.of.Walls:3.50/4meters.and. 200m.long)

The Format

Not only will the shape of the venue be unique, but the format as well. The riders will be able to judge themselves after 3 different "Jam Sessions". From there the riders will pick one winner of 'Best Overall Rider', 'King Of Style' and 'Best Trick'. The awards will be attributed by the riders based on style as well as the degree of difficulty of the tricks landed.

The event will be broadcast live via a HD Live streaming player brought by E—‐Adrenaline.fr (and distributed around the World via our many partners platforms). The show will be broadcast in English and French speaking languages and will be 3 to 4 hours in length.
