In mens snowboarding Nils Mindnich (USA-1st Place) came out of the gate in stylish form sticking a 360 at the top of the venue, followed by a huge and critical straight air off of one of the faces biggest features, then transferring to switch with a frontside 180, followed by another 180 into a smooth 360, then finished off with two more nicely floated airs to take the win. The local, Gigi Rüf (AUT-2nd Place) smoothly landed a frontside 360 and perfectly stuck a 360 to double drop out of the lower couloir. 3x world champion, Sammy Luebke (USA-3rd Place) started things off by going deep off of the central top cliff and sticking it perfectly, which he followed by a smooth transfer straight into another big air.

"I didn’t believe it when I was down I saw my score, I’m so stoked! Two riders before I dropped were thinking about changing their lines, but I thought, dude get out of your head, just stick to your plan and see what happens."

In the womens event, Marion Haerty (FRA-1st Place) earned her 3rd career world title and event win of FWT20 today with the kind of confident and fluid riding she has become well-known for. Her winning run in Fieberbrunn included airing into the steep and technical upper right couloir, followed by big slashy turns while perfectly managing her sluff, and a couple of nicely floated airs in the lower powder to take the win. Michaela Davis-Meehan (AUS-2nd Place) earned herself another podium and spot in Verbier charging into the steep and technical upper left couloir followed by smooth and fluid riding down the rest of the face. Erika Vikander (USA-3rd Place) made the podium and Verbier cut opening up an untracked part of the face, followed by a clean middle straight line to air.

With Marion Haerty’s (FRA-1st Place) win today she becomes FWT20 Champion, but the other overall podium spots are still up for grabs. Check out the full rankings of the riders who qualified for the finals at the Xtreme Verbier and FWT21. 

"The day was perfect to have fun and enjoy the snow. This is my kind of face, I really like the mix of big mountain and bowl. Just before coming here, I went in the mountain all day alone, riding and just having fun. This is why I’m here, for love of the mountains."
