About this video

Steep lines, spectacular backflips, strong wild card riders, but also athletes who<br />couldn't start due to ascending fog The contest day on the 10th of February 2018 in<br />Hochfügen included it all.Blue skies and 'sensational snow conditions' according to skier Michael Strauß provided the perfect start at 9:30 am. The Swiss rider Jerome Caroli was first to drop<br />into the east face of the mountain. The weather and the snow were better than<br />expected so all the riders were eager to start and show their best run. Unfortunately the<br />fog that was creeping in forced the event crew to interrupt the contest several times.<br />After a waiting period the organizers finally had to stop the contest and 19 Riders were<br />not able to compete. According to the FWQ regulations enough riders made it to the finish line so the category ski men, ski women and snowboard women were able to be rated. Due to the<br />weather conditions not enough riders were able to start in the snowboard men<br />category. <br /><br />---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /><br />Steile Lines, riesige Backflips, starke Wildcard Rider – und auch Athleten, denen das Wetter den Start verweigerte - der Contesttag 10.2. hatte für alle 70 Beteiligten aus 12 Nationen des Big Mountain Hochfügen aufregende Momente parat. Bei blauem Himmel und laut Skier Michael Strauß „sensationellen Schneeverhältnissen“ konnte wie geplant um 9.30 Uhr Jérôme Caroli aus der Schweiz als erster in die Ostwand droppen. Das Wetter war zunächst besser als erwartet und die Ostwand präsentierte sich von ihrer besten Seite, so dass alle Fahrer darauf brannten, hier den besten Run zu zeigen. Aufsteigender Nebel erzwang ab mittags immer wieder Unterbrechungen. Der Nebel war schließlich im gesamten Gebiet so dicht, dass der Contest mit den verbleibenden 19 Startern nicht mehr zu Ende gebracht werden konnte.<br />Gemäß den Regelungen der FWQ waren genug Läufer im Ziel um die Kategorien Ski Men, Ski Women und Snowboard Women zu werten. Snowboard Men konnte leider nicht gezählt werden, da wetterbedingt nicht genügend starten konnten.<br />
