Engadinsnow is one of the stops, which I could participate. Race itself is one of the qualifying races on the FWT three strars evaluation, which does not only valuable points in the general classification riders, but also a good level of organization. After less accurate   phone calls we went as competitors Me, Marek Machacek, Hana fan, a journalist's assistant and, of course, equally good photographer, journalist, and what the most important driver in one person "old man". Also Robin Kaleta came here from another event.

Perhaps no one would mind that I leave out the way, not at all interesting and it is the way to St. Moritz, where the races were held is due to navigations quite simple. And the fact that we went out instead of the planned 6am, at 11 am   is about the rule to good organisation.

Finally, we have all gotten a cool, classic registration occurs within races, listen to info on the next day and we were able to go for a accommodation. The accommodation would like to add that it has almost no meaning to look for relatively cheap rooms in this area, because we eventually found the pioneer dormitory for a 35e per person with breakfast. The second day we woke up to nice blue sky and freeze, such that the old man could not start his cart, After about 15 minutes of preheating we jumped to the car towards Corvatch direction, where they were both racing slopes, both qualifying and finals.

Qualifying face was relatively simple and short, so I thought that I would probably have to go off and it was so difficult to select just the right line. Therefore many freerider flown into backflips and other tricks to send it over rocks for a better evaluation. Given that I had a high start number, so I could not look at individual riders and the whole time I had a chill on the hill.

Yet I could see runs a few other riders, but Robin Kaleta, who hit a rock after a big drop and fell, so it has reduced much of the points he could for his otherwise aggressive and get an easy ride. Well what you can do races in this cruel way, but on the other hand, everyone has the same conditions and opportunities. Given that I also did not fare best, and completely missed my line, I had planned and Mara landed just behind the finals, so we could not taste the final face. By the way, this is precisely characterized by the entire local freeride event in previous years, fighting for first place only invited riders from around the world.

HERE is the link, where you can find komplete results. I did not stay for a finals, because I had another plan to go with another crew – Martin Knybel, Marek Cepica na Slavicek to Bormio, Italy. The feeling is, realy good resort, good event and good crew.
