There's a good day of skiing. Then there's the first-ever MEDIAPPINESS Invitational high in the French Alps in the warm summer air, filled with challenge rails, good friends, live music and beaming smiles. That might take the cake as the ultimate good day of skiing.

Last month, the MEDIAPPINESS crew hosted their 2026 Invitational, bringing roughly 20 invited riders out to Les 2 Alpes, France, for a proper summer shred. The rope tows were spinning, and the park was in prime shape, with Julian Caillet, Hugo Monmont, Andreas Herranz and Mateo Socquet having put their talents to work after doing a banger job at Kimbosessions, as confirmed by our friends at Downdays.

Challenge rails, rainbow rails, kickers and more can be seen, with the team eventually migrating to a beauty of a backcountry hip to keep the session going. Wrap it all up with a killer concert, and you've got yourself an event for the ages. Catch the full recap right here to get your dose of summer freeski action!
