Stefan Häusl showed the crowd an amazing run. He performed his technical difficult chosen run the most fluidly. He impressed the jury with his clean sticked jumps. He won with an evident advance of 6,1 points to the 2nd placed Swedish guy Andreas Fransson and the third placed Matthias Haunholder from Austria.
Max Zipser (AUT) impressed in the snowboard category with a spectacular line and won at his first Stimorol ENGADINSNOW participation, followed by the local Roberto Furger (SUI) and Mike Äschbach (SUI). For the girls, the French Aurélie Garcin (snowboard) and the German Katherina Mihaljevic (freeski) won the freeride competition.
The freeride competition took place under best conditions. The invited top freeriders came across sunshine and best freeride conditions at the north face of Mount Corvatsch. Some riders performed a crazy spectacle with huge jumps from cliffs higher then 30 meters. But the jury was more impressed by the good control and the right choice of line in the up to 60° steep face, then by the big jumps.
Only satisfied and happy faces from competitors, spectators and the organisation at the prize giving right after the competition. It was a wonderful and successful event day.
