Perfect weather, sunburn, new lines, parking lot beer and powder turns in the seemingly endless terrain on the Kitzsteinhorn.

The Roldal Freeride Challenge is the crowning finale of the contest season. Once again gnarly conditions, an enthusiastic crowd and fresh salmon.

With an FWQ 1*, the expectations of the face are not particularly high. Uttendorf-Weisssee is completely different: a complex face with many options, a steep upper section and a challenging orientation in the lower section of the Tauernkogel. A contest in April generally demands good technique from the riders, as the snow conditions vary during the run.
