The first winter edition of the Nissan Outdoor Games by Columbia is set to kick off as the world’s best shredders gather in Chamonix for a new kind of film and photo competition.

From the 14-17th February, seven teams will be battling it out on Mont-Blanc to produce a stunning action sports video in record time. The teams will have just five days in which they can criss-cross the Mont-blanc range, filming their exploits in skiing, snowboarding, mountaineering, para-gliding and BASE-jumping.

To check out the impressive list of athletes and the full schedule, log on to the Nissan Outdoor Games website.

If you fancy popping along, from Thursday 14th to Sunday 17th February, the Outdoor Games village will open to the public between 3-8pm. There will be ice-climbing demos and classes, an autograph signing session and film screenings on giant TVs.

The highlight of the weekend will be from 5pm on Saturday, with an ice-climbing contest followed by a projection of the photos and films of the teams on a giant screen, followed by the awards ceremony, with the coveted ‘Aiguille D’or’ trophy voted for by a professional panel of judges.
