FIS Freeskiing kicked off 2025 with a Big Air banger in Klagenfurt.
Switch ‘butters’ featured heavily, but skis were, if we’re honest, rarely flexed.
I wouldn’t want to be a judge, that’s for sure.
Run two saw Anouk go switch bio 9 for 80 and the very provisional lead.
Muriel Mohr’s dub 10 was enough however, only an 82 but still enough for now.
Mathilde Gremaud had an uncharacteristic crash on a switch dub 10.
Mira put down a switch bio 9 mute, not the cleanest but enough for the lead, briefly.
In fact, nobody improved on their scores until the second last to drop.
That left Liu Menting with a first career win and a victory lap.
Axel Burmansson went switch ‘butter’ dub 14 for 82.
Interesting to see the switch margarine not scoring particularly well, but still perhaps higher than some harder tricks.
Ulrik Samnoey went for the same but with tail, naturally scoring a little better and taking the lead.
Andri stomped a forward dub 18 cuban… for 86.00, he was a surprised as we were.
Kuura Koivisto stomped a wild switch op carve blender dub, only scored 80 for it though.
Luca Harrington went switch triple 16 esco, perfect, for a clear lead, 94.80.
Tim Sivignon went nosebutter triple 14 mute, super clean too for 91.8.
Last to drop, Matej put down a nosebutter triple 16 safety for 93.00 and second.
Run two saw Fabian Boesch stomp a dub 18 blunt, perfectly capped too.
Is it still harder than some tricks that scored higher?
86 seemed fair enough here but I can see that it was a hard one to score.
Luca Harrington went with the dub 10 to 9 bringback japan and did it flawlessly.
87.80 was good, but possibly not good enough.
Tim S stomped a switch dub misty 16 perfect.
Matej went switch tailbutter dub 14 japan with a proper Tom Wallisch switch landing but it was only 82.40.
Insanely clean but perhaps not enough in the tech box.
It was enough for 86 but not enough to challenge the podium.
Andri couldn’t improve despite going buick grab, he did land a little backseat though.
Matej put it down again, but there was a little hand down maybe?
Regardless, he didn’t improve but remained in third.
He does actually butter a bit though on his switch takeoffs which is nice see.
Tim Sivignon went to the moon and grabbed better on the mute+tail double grab.
