Also this year the Zinal Freeride powered by Mammut happens in Switzerland. During the week-end from the 19th to the 21st of March 2010 spectacular Freerides are shown all around the skiing area Zinal in Valais.
A journey to the side valley of Sierre is worthwhile anyway. On the one hand as a participant (the event is open for everyone. Here you can apply.) or on the other hand as a spectator. On saturday evening you can also join the big party...
Following on from last year’s success, once again the Mammut-sponsored Challenge the Wall Tour will be passing through various climbing halls. In March, the climbing tour will be stopping off at six resorts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Experience the unique atmosphere at a climbing hall near you!
You don't have your place yet, but you would love to be on board? Then this is your unique chance!
Post here briefly why you are the person who deserves to go to the test event. There is more though… in this text the core values of the test event theme "Pure Ascent" have to be mentioned literally. They are: fast, light, compact and safe.
Whoever delivers the best explanation within 24 hours will get the confirmation to take part of the test event after all! So try your best…
Anxiously awaitung your response

Congratulations again to the lucky winners for the participation of the Mammut Pure Ascent Test Event on 20 / 21.03.2010 (or alternative dates: 27 / 28.03.2010). Many of you still had some questions. Here are the answers:
Journey
We want to protect the environment. Please organise car sharing / pooling or travel to Zuoz train station with public transport. It's worth reducing CO2 emissions! The group who saved the most kilometres through car sharing, or the person who has the longest train journey behind them will be awarded a cool prize.
Arrival
We kindly ask you to arrive at 8am in the holiday camp Zuoz and register. For all those who don't like to get up early or travel from far there is a possibility for accommodation in Samedan in a sports hall in the night of Friday to Saturday (cost: 10 CHF, breakfast not included). Please fill in this form if you are interested.
Decision on Dates
If the test event is happening on the first or the alternative weekend will be decided on Thursday, 18.03.2010 at 2pm. Due to weather reasons, unfortunately an earlier decision is not possible. We want to have good weather during the event after all!
Payment of Participation Fee
In the coming week you will have the opportunity to vote on the sustainable project, which you support with your participation fee. We will then explain the payment terms.
Well, that's it from my side. Should you have more questions about the test event, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Best regards
Michi Mammut
On the last Friday I asked you to check your speed. A lot of users were very quick and sent me within some hours her photo. It got different cool photos. Unfortunately, only one can win. Martin Weibel was the quickest guy.
Here you can see his photo and download the explanation of the photo:
Have a look at the explanation, who on the photo carries what of Mammut.
We congratulate Martin and his friends on the win of the Mammut t-shirts.
Today a further secret about the next test event is being disclosed:
As you already heard, the motto of this year's test event is “Pure Ascent”. In that case one person must not be missing: our Pro Team athlete and sky runner Christian Stangl.
Ever since the 7 Summits Speed Project Stangl has been known as a high-performance climber. What others need several weeks of preparation and accomplishment for, he achieves in a one-day tour all on his own and without any auxiliary means. For example the Mount Everest in 16 hours and 42 minutes. In doing so it is of utmost importance to be able to rely on functional and super light equipment. Pure Ascent is perfection!
Stangl will be on-site during the Mammut test event and ready to answer all your questions. Hear about his interesting and unbelievable adventures from a single source.
Finally we would like to test how fast you are:
Whoever is the first person to send a photo of themselves and six further persons all wearing a Mammut product to the email address of Michi Mammut, wins a Mammut t-shirt for every person in the picture.
