Vallnord-Arcalís, Andorra–March 6, 2018 – With crunch time rapidly approaching in Fieberbrunn and crucial points on the line in the 2018 FWT, riders in every category threw down on the legendary Pyrenean freeride venue, "Basser Negre”. Recent snowfall in Vallnord-Arcalís, Andorra and bluebird skies made for superb riding conditions and amazing performances to kick-off the European leg of the 2018 tour.
SNOWBOARD WOMEN
Manuela Mandl (AUT-1st Place) was the obvious winner launching out of the gate with speed and confidence, linking up two cleanly landed big airs for a solid performance. Audrey Hebert (CAN-2nd Place) took the number two spot on the podium thanks to a fluid run and clean airs. Marion Haerty (FRA-3rd Place) put together a solid technical run, opening up a new line for the category that she followed with plenty of air time to close out a solid day for the snowboarders. "I’m really happy that I won here because now I can continue playing this year just snowboarding! Andorra is beautiful, the mountains here are great, we had so much luck with the face and the snow, I’m super happy!" Mandl says.
SKI WOMEN
Arianna Tricomi (ITA-1st Place) made FWT history for her category today with a beautifully floated 360 and perfect landing to cap-off a stellar run, which put her on the top of the podium and maintained her number one overall ranking. Two times FWT Champion, Eva Walkner (AUT-2nd Place) stuck a big mandatory air in the central couloir with ease, which she followed-up with more air time in a hardcharging run to earn her the number two spot. Elisabeth Gerritzen (SUI-3rd Place) landed multiple big airs on her fast and fluid run culminating with her standing proudly on the podium. "I’m stoked that I end up on the podium!" says Tricomi.
