90 athletes from 22 countries will compete in the Stubai Zoo Snowpark.

The initial registration list already includes some of the world’s best – from Olympic Champions and World Champions to X-Games winners

Since 2017, the freeski elite has gathered each year at Gaiskarferner to hold their first slopestyle competition on the Pro-Line.

Situated at an altitude of over 3,000 meters, the ski resort offers a top-notch setup and kicks off the season in one of the best  snow parks.

“It’s an opening no one wants to miss, as the world’s best freeskiers will be competing not only for the first World Cup points but also for valuable Olympic qualification points,” said a statement from the organisers.

Last year’s qualification winners, Mathilde Gremaud and Evan McEachran, were crowned champions, and both will be aiming to defend their titles this year.

However, the competition will be fierce, with several athletes vying for the crown.
