Oberstdorf

This season's fifth ContestHappening is all about the 4* FWQ in Montafon, we also look back at the Youngstars Challenge in Oberstdorf and forward to the 1* FWQ on Hochfelln and the upcoming FWT stop in Andorra.

The Schafalpen are located between the Kleines Walsertal and the Stillach and Rappenalptal valleys and offer all kinds of challenging tours. The Roßgundkopf, which is part of the Schafalpenköpfe group, offers secluded descents in an impressive landscape, especially in the early season when the snow conditions are already suitable and the Fellhornbahn is not yet open.

There has been virtually nothing new since last week, at least as far as the weather is concerned. One cloudless day follows the next. Temperatures have risen a little at higher altitudes, but in many valleys it's still very chilly under the tough inversion. There is no change in sight for the time being.

The organizers of the Nebelhorn Classics have had to cancel the premiere of the planned freeride festival around the traditional Nebelhorn Classics.

Despite the poor snow conditions, this year's Youngstars Challenge was held in relatively good conditions and perfect weather. A total of almost 100 children and young people between the ages of 7 and 16 took part in both contests.

Julia has done it! Now she stands at the finish line, satisfied and endorphin-laden, celebrating her three 2nd places. She has survived the 2832 meters of downhill.
