    World Snowboard Guide
    WSG rates Risoul as an extremely friendly snowboard resort with great freestyle. Risoul are more than happy to have snowboarders here, since the image of non conformitys fits nicely with the way the resort is run - clearly with the young in mind.The ?Surfland? is akin to a freestylers paradise which includes a pro jump over a bus, rails, a boarder cross run, quarter pipes, small kickers and one of the best pipes in Europe. Freeriders will find some big powder bowl areas on the Pic de Razies, Melezet and Platte de la Nonne.
