FLYING HIGH - Slopestyle course at Corvatsch Park, 2.705 m a.s - Kobi Würsch as long-term responsible for the course design and the course-build, is planning once again a supreme Slopestyle setup with features to surprise and challenge the riders. The 500-meter-long Slopestyle course kicks off with the first rail feature with three options, followed by a second rail feature before heading into the kicker line consisting of three jumps in various sizes and finishes off with two quarterpipes at the end. Kobi states: “I am looking forward to the 10th edition of the event. It’s year after year an exciting challenge to plan a progressive and innovative course setup which is rideable as well and guarantees fun for the riders. I believe this year’s course has it all – transitions, rails and jumps. It will be fun.”
