Deeluxe Montafon Banked Slalom 2015

This past Saturday, the 5th annual Deeluxe Montafon Banked Slalom went down in Gargellen for a large crowd of eager rippers. Despite the gray skies, the energy was beaming and the Schnapps aplenty. 150 riders dueled it out on a tight and well-manicured course where we saw plenty of vintage shapes, sawed-off tails, racing suits and slams in the "mouse trap" ( a particularly tough turn to navigate that launched plenty of contestants into the net). Many impressive times were posted, from both the men and the women, but there were no surprises when it came to the top of the podium...
