CORVATSCH EUROPEAN CUP SLOPESTYLE CLOSES 2020 ON A HIGH NOTE

While we wait for the FIS Snowboard Park & Pipe World Cup to get back to action in Kreischberg (AUT) in the new year, there was some good news out of Switzerland today where Corvatsch played host to an Audi Snowboard Series European Cup slopestyle competition in the resort’s famed terrain park. While it was something of a “pop-up” event due to covid-related uncertainties with regional authorities, in the end the event was allowed to proceed after some diligent work from the Swiss Snowboard contingent, with athletes from 16 nations represented and some exceptional riding going down throughout the day.
