Two podiums at the Freeride World Tour in Fieberbrunn

Last Monday, February 3, 2014, the third stop of the Freeride World Tour took place in Austria. Because of dangerous snow conditions and the risk of avalanches being too high the contest took place in Kappl, Tyrol instead of Fieberbrunn Kitzbuheler Alps. 

Despite the change in location the competition was still a successful one. The SCOTT Freeride team took two podiums on this third stop. Richard Amacker from Switzerland had a very strong and gnarly run which included several huge drops.

Not only was this third stop successful for the SCOTT Men’s Freeride team, but also for our women’s freeride team. Lorraine Huber from Austria continued to dominate the field and finished 3^rd in Kappl and moved up to 2^nd in the overall FWT rankings with just 40 points behind the leader!
