It all started in the fall of 2010: Gore-Tex called for a freeride challenge on Facebook, where the main prize was a trip and participation in Seb Michaud's personal summer freeride competition. Just take part, I thought to myself. After all, the first prize was a trip to Argentina with some of the best freeriders in the world.

The penultimate stop of the Freeride World Tour 2011 in Fieberbrunn went according to plan in fantastic weather and despite the changing snow conditions on the slope, and thrilled the numerous spectators. The local heroes dominated both the ski and snowboard competitions.
