In 2027, the FIS Freestyle, Freeski and Snowboard World Championships in the Vorarlberg Montafon will be competing for no fewer than 29 gold medals. Including on the moguls. This weekend saw the first test events for this discipline, which provided some highly emotional moments in the run-up to the event.

"It was a really great event," said a delighted Melanie Meilinger. The 33-year-old from Salzburg was the red-white-red figurehead on the moguls for a long time and is now project coordinator for freestyle in the Austrian Ski Association with a view to the 2027 World Championships at home. "It was really nice to see how much interest there is in our sport here in the Montafon. How the Montafon Ski Club and the valley clubs have supported the whole thing."
