The whole track is not only shaped out of snow, but also pimped with some nice wooden obstacles. The course is located right next to the Schantei ski-lift station, which is pretty close to the town centre of Leogang. The riders have to qualify on Friday afternoon for the big finals, which take place a bit later, at 08:30 pm. The ten finalists complete two runs to determine the winners of 4.000 Euros overall prize money. Afterwards a hard rocking party will heat up the riders as well as the fans until the early morning.
