5 jours au Tirol, Ubac Images, Eps3 Saison 2
New snowfall means new episode for Ubac Images!
For this 3rd episode, we travelled to Austria, more precisely the resort of Sankt Anton am Arlberg. This place is well-known for freeriding, and we were eager to verify it by ourselves.
On the first day, the weather was splendid, the couloirs looked amazing, but that was just a huge trap: 30cm of fresh snow on nothing but abrasive rocks... But after looking around a bit, we found some nice lines!
Even before finishing our beer, the snow started falling and the wind started blowing. It was useless to go skiing in this weather, so we headed to Kitzbühel for the legendary downhill and slalom WC stages. Guillermo Fayed finished on the 3rd place of the downhill, the French skiers were not so lucky on the slalom, but the vibe itself was worth the drive.
Seeing guys racing on skis and the difficult weather in Sankt Anton made us want to wear our racing suits again and to try a new sport: the Sledge Cross. Action and laughter guaranteed!
We finally managed to make the most of all these snowflakes freshly fallen from the sky with an amazing powder day in Sankt Anton. Many lifts were closed due to the high risk of avalanche, but we clearly had a lot of fun!
Enjoy!
And if you haven't seen our first two episodes yet, here they are:
