A wonderful ski winter is about to start. And in the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn, the signs are once again pointing to improvements in comfort and modernization. With the opening of the new 8 SBK Asitzkogelbahn, the last bottleneck in the Asitzmulde will be eliminated. After 20 years of operation, the detachable 6-seater Sportbahn 2000 chairlift was carefully dismantled last summer and given a second life in a Polish ski area in the interests of sustainability. After several months of construction, a new highlight was built in its place for optimal skiing fun: a state-of-the-art detachable 8-seater chairlift with weather protection hood and safety bar from Doppelmayr with a capacity of 3,700 people per hour.

No stranger to setting new benchmarks in freeskiing - and no stranger to never giving up, either - it appears that Bakuriani 2023 slopestyle bronze medallist Andri Ragettli (SUI) earned himself a new world record just over a week ago, landing a dizzying nine backflips in 30 seconds on a sketchy, melted out set of little jumps on the lower slopes of Laax. After working for four hours with a couple of buddies putting together the jump line, Ragettli got to work getting upside down, stomping flip after flip, and even skating between jumps to keep his speed up and maximize the airs in the short time allowed.
