There's just hours to go until The Swatch Freeride World Tour by The North Face gets underway here in Chamonix. We met up with pro rider Ralph Backstrom from the USA in the Hotel Alpina last night for a chat about all things freeride - from who to watch in this weekend's competition to life as a pro snowboarder, and the legendary two A's - Alaska and Antarctica.

Squaw Valley resident Ralph won the first stop on this year's Freeride World Tour in Revelstoke and we'll be keeping our eyes on how he gets on tomorrow in Chamonix.

For more information on Ralph, check out his website and to watch him in action, tune into the Freeride World Tour live feed from 09:00 tomorrow!
