What is this year’s tour structure?

The vision is to create events which allow riders of all levels to participate. In order to bring more people into the sport, we decided to start with a very easy concept, combining athletic performance with fun.

There are many existing banked slalom events world wide. The WSF tour concept is to offer a platform and network within currently existing events, bringing more attention to banked slalom, as well as the individual events.

The podium winners (female and male) from all tour stops will participate in a ruffle. The ruffle will be conducted through online video at the end of the season (beginning of next season). Through the ruffle, grand prize will be an invitation to the Legendary Mount Baker Banked Slalom. Additional prizes will be given to ruffle participants, such as t-shirts and accessories.

„Back to the roots“ that’s the spirit for this year’s fourth edition of GummiLove Banked Slalom Stoos. 110 contestants including snowboard legends such as Fredi Kalbermatten were chasing down one of the most spectacular runs in Switzerland last year. But it is the fun and the love for snowboarding that come in a first place and what make this event to such a great occasion for all the lovers of the sport to come together and celebrate. After the continuing success of the previous years, Dani “Gummi” Rietmann from GummiLove and Beni Plüss from the hosting local Shredisfaction Snowpark are super stoked and convinced that this year is going to be another record-breaking edition.

Also it is GummiLove’s 10-Year anniversary so it’s going to be a great party all day that will continue after the event, when the DJs of HIBOU are heating up the legendary Klingenkellerbar. You really shouldn’t miss out on this one!

If you’re not familiar with the resort yet, Stoos is located right in the heart of Switzerland and super easy to get to. Plus you get to ride the world’s steepest furnicular to get up there. Need anything more to get hyped? Guess not!

So safe your spot soon as the hosts are expecting even more registration whilst the capacity of contestants is limited.
