Boss des Bosses pits teams of skiers from Alpine resorts against each other in a mogul and freestyle skiing contest. It takes place on Wednesday 24 Mar. 2027 near Bar 1936 in Verbier.
The story
Boss des Bosses was founded in 1990, according to Verbier Tourism. The idea came from an argument in a Val d’Isère bar over which resort had the best skiers. The first edition pitted Chamonix against Val d’Isère. Speed, style, tricks and costumes still form the basis of the contest.
Teams from Verbier, Zermatt, Méribel, Courchevel, Val Thorens, Megève and Chamonix later joined the contest. Verbier became its usual host. The course is built around Bar 1936 and Les Ruinettes, above the Le Rouge restaurant.
In 2024, the Portes du Soleil team, led by Ben Cavet, was defending its title. In 2026, the event introduced the Stryker Trophy. The trophy honours Jamie “Stryker” Strachan, a pioneer of European freestyle skiing. Winners receive mogul skis made by Faction.
