I hope
everybody enjoyed our event. We lucked out again
with the weather. Saturday was the first nice day of a high
pressure system.
Imagine, if our event would have been on the Friday!!!!
50 racers
were risking their skin this year.... and how!
The level of the competition increased to a new dimension.
The first six snowboarders finished within a second.
The first
time ever since this event is taking place,
the racers had to wait several minutes in the starting gate
before heading downhill... That never happened before.....
The advertising for this contest was pretty limited.
10 posters were made and 270 e-mails were sent out.
However,
it rules!
vox tv, tele baer, intro tv, swiss content, radio beo visited our event.
Also the following newspaper were mentioning our meeting:
oberhasler, berner oberlaender and several german papers.
It seems that the media is slowly interested in this race.
They
didn't bother 4 years ago......
Many thanks to the following:

Kestenholz, World champion snowboarding
Tanja Uhlmann, Junior World champion snowboarding
