Some of the most famous skiers and snowboarders gather to celebrate the end of a long and tough season. The core of the event is an entertaining competition with amateurs and professional skiers and snowboarders. The invited cracks compete not only against each other but also against the 350 amateurs. Every entrant has the chance to ride against the FIS skiers across five disciplines which combine alpine and snowboarding techniques: giant slalom, boarder and skier cross, speed skiing, the fun and challenging triathlon and a “finals” parallel slalom.
