The Xtreme Verbier, this year in its 23rd edition, is without a doubt the most intimidating descent of the entire Tour.
"Looking at this mountain and imagining going down it skiing makes me feel too. - declared last year the Swiss skier in the race Sam Anthamatten - You can find a line as easy as possible, of course, and it would be feasible for many good skiers. But here we are talking about winning a Tour race, jumping from a cliff of 15 meters on a slope of 50 °, and this scares me too: every year is a mental battle ".
Spotlight on our Arianna Tricomi, which after a season to say the least exceptional - two first places and a second in four races disputed! - dominates the ranking with 7200 points followed by the Austrian Eva Walkner. The two contenders will do their best to win the first place at the Xtreme Verbier and with it the title.
The games are already closed in male skiing, where the Swedish Kristofer Turdell has already accumulated enough points in the first races to put the world title in safe.
In the men's snowboard the favorites are the Austrian compatriots Thomas Feurstein and Gigi Rüf, very close to points.
For women's snowboarding the first in the standings are the Austrian Manuela Mandl and the current reigning champion, the French Marion Haerty. They will give a hard time.
