The track is about 10 kilometers long, 6 meters wide, and pretty fun to ride with its big long berms. The track is specially prepared for this day, with jumps, waves and little road gap over a ski track. The riders can ride the track between 12 and 5.30pm in entire liberty, to do many runs as he wants and with the speed as he wants as well.

The sun and a beautiful sea of fog was here to welcome the 86 riders. We started the 5th SnowDay4Bikes by under -19°c , but with these low temperatures, the track stayed on top along the day. The snow waves and jumps was perfect all the day.
