When you travel thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean to France and find yourself immortalised on a poster for one of the biggest freeski events in the French calendar, it's worthy of an Instagram. Each year a selection of the finest freeskiers on the planet flock to VARS to compete in the VARS Tournament, a one-on-one S.K.A.T.E contest that sees the winner progress to the next round.

Here's a quick recap of McRae's match-ups last winter:
