The freestylers open the new contest season with the BIG AIR CHUR. On 22/23 October 2021, freeskiers and snowboarders will begin the Olympic winter together. This and the set-up as a sports and music festival are the reasons why everyone wants to be at the FIS World Cup kick-off at the Obere Au in Chur, Graubünden. The registration and waiting list is abuzz with names and nations. Meaning everyone and their kitchen sink want to be there at the take-off.

Roberto Moresi, FIS Park & Pipe Contest Director says: “The first event of a season is always special, you get to catch up with everybody, see familiar faces and lots of friends and if becomes even more amazing if done with a city event that has embedded even more fun. With the Olympics coming around many are still trying to lock in their spot and these events leading to the games are of the highest importance. Many nations select their team during these last moments and events, additional reason why not to miss Chur Big Air.”

It’s going to be a premiere in more ways than one: for the first time ever there will be an international In-city Contest in Chur, for the first time in Switzerland there will be a kick-off for skiing and snowboarding under the FIS flag, and never before has there been a run like this one in the 160 prime slots, shared by women (30) and men (50) in two disciplines, with prize money of CHF 100,000.

Roberto Moresi assures: “A great show is to be seen in Chur. I do like the challenges as well as the unknowns when you go to new places. Chur and partners are doing an amazing job and really believing that we should move on and look forward to a certain level of normality. Off course we are looking at staying safe and acting responsibly but it’s a good moment even just to feel a different vibe again.”

The BIG AIR CHUR is also the first freestyle World Cup with an audience, following the Corona-induced spectator-free winter of 2020/2021. And, representing with first-class sporting performances, Anna Gasser, Mark McMorris, Mathilde Gremaud and Colby Stevensen, and Urban Music Live by Breitbild, Apache 207, Jan Delay, Sido, Nura and others. The party mile with 20 DJs, a skate park and a gastro zone round off that perfect festival feeling. Tickets for the BIG AIR CHUR on 22/23 October 2021 from 09:00 am to 03:00 am each day can be purchased via the website.

The 3-G rule applies to all guests, riders, teams and media: tested, vaccinated, recovered.
